Francella at the Nabisco
-
- March
- 29
My timing is all off. I covered the Kraft Nabisco Championship in luxurious Palm Springs two straight years, but never when we had a player from our own backyard in the field.
Now Port Chester’s Meaghan Francella is set to off in her first career major in a few short hours and I’ll be….in Port Chester. Go figure.
Either way, these are heady times for Francella seeing how she’s only two weeks removed from knocking off Annika Sorenstam for her first career LPGA title. But maybe the most remarkable part is she’s still found time to blog for us on a regular basis.
It was an idea spawned in the weeks before embarking on her rookie season, and at the time, Francella had little reason to think she’d become a celebrity on tour so quickly. But she’s always been mindful of her roots, and this is just another example.
