Laura Wearn finished off the Epson Tour’s Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic with an epic hole-out for eagle on Sunday. But it wasn’t just that she pitched in from off the green. It’s how she did it – from the left side with her club turned upside down.

“I just threw my phone down and started clapping for you,” added Leslie Cloots.
The closing eagle certainly helped a rough back nine that included three double-bogeys. A final-round 74 gave Wearn a T-32 finish in the Scottsdale event, won by major champion Sophia Popov. A three-time winner on the Epson Tour, Wearn first joined the developmental tour in 2014.
