Doris Holm Wins Two Golf Tourneys at Age 82

Eighty-two-year-old Doris Fieg Holm has won two golf tournaments this year (so far).  Doris is the daughter of the late Max Fieg of Milford, PA.

Of particular note, at her local course's annual spring ladies' tournament Doris topped more than two dozen competitors in the three-week event, scoring a birdie on the par four fourth hole by sinking a twenty foot putt from just off the green. 

Her son, Matt, a member of the P.G.A. and golf pro at the Bing Maloney Golf Course in Sacramento, CA, tied with seven other competitors as he shot an 81, just six strokes back of the qualifiers, for the annual U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.  Matt outscored 53 other rivals in the event, parring on nine holes. 

Matt is an expert demonstrator for Phoenix-based Ping golf equipment.  He also holds the Jack Tone Golf Course record of 54 (not a misprint - 54!).

Matt is the father of six, in addition to his career as a golf professional.
