Bingham High’s Tess Blair wins the Women’s State Amateur in convincing style

Bingham High School senior Tess Blair won the last five holes of the final match, defeating Jessica Sloot 6 and 5 to win the 112th Women's State Amateur title Thursday at Bonneville Golf Course.

Blair’s run started with a chip-in par after a penalty stroke on the par-3 No. 9. Her victory followed the 2014 triumph of her sister, Sirene, then a San Diego State golfer. Tess Blair is committed to Sacramento State.

Sloop, a Colorado State golfer from Davis High School, ended Kelsey Chugg's bid for a fifth State Am title, winning 4 and 3 in the semifinals earlier Thursday.
