Posted May 10, 2006

UNC alumna Ashley Prange spent the final episode of The Golf Channel's "The Big break V: Hawaii" fighting her nerves. She won that battle and the one that really mattered Tuesday, defeating Jeanne Cho 5 and 4 in the pre-recorded 18-hole match-play final at Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu. Prange won a prize package that includes an exemption in the LPGA Tour's Safeway Classic and a Chrysler Crossfire Roadster. (Indianapolis Star)
