Ward Melville golfer Ella Girard has won her second Suffolk County Championship.
The Ward Melville Girls Golf Team also finished in second place at the county championships. Girard led the way and now she will head to the State Championships.
This is Girard's second title, but it seems like a long time coming for the golf star. She won the championship as an 8th grader three years ago and is now back on top. Over the course of the 36 hole and two-day marathon tournament she shot 14-over-par to beat the field by a full five strokes.
She was tied on day two but pulled away with bogey after bogey to take the commanding lead and then went on to hit par on six straight holes to secure the victory.
