About this Article

St. Charles East senior Paige Jordan played the Class AA Crystal Lake Central girls golf regional Wednesday with no pressure. That's because as the round progressed at soggy Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin, Jordan didn't think she stood a chance of contending for the individual championship. "I thought I was so out of it," Jordan said. "I didn't plan on winning it." But win it Jordan did, shooting a respectable 11-over 82 on a day better suited for ducks than golfers.
