Cain Rocha and Sara Posey compete at LPGA Event in Arkansas
Prior to heading to Arkansas, Cain and Sarah were given a great send-off by the local Walmart store # on August 28. Cain and Sarah putting on a putting display and the store provided a check for $5000 to The First Tee.
In September Sara Posey and Cain Rocha were selected to participate in the LPGA P&G NW Arkansas Classic sponsored by WalMart in Rogers, Arkansas in September. Sara was to play in the Pro-Am and Cain was selected to play with our local hometown hero, Angela Stanford, and Na Yeon Choi for 2 days of the event! Unfortunately, rain washed out the Pro-Am and Sara did not get to play, but she had a wonderful time at the tournament events and was able to mingle with the LPGA stars for a few days! Cain played wonderfully and placed 3rd in his bracket and even was featured on Golf Channel for a brief moment!
