Laura Shanahan-Rowe, of Bedford, N.H., overcame a three-stroke deficit to claim the 2008 SkyCaddie® LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP) Championship on Wednesday at Pinehurst No. 8 in Pinehurst, N.C.

Shanahan-Rowe carded a final-round 1-under-par 71 to overcome 36-hole leader Kelly Cap, of Pinehurst, N.C., and claim the Championship Division title's $12,000 winner's check and also punch her ticket to the 2009 McDonald's LPGA Championship Presented by Coca-Cola - one of the four majors on the LPGA Tour.

Linda Nevatt, a Class A member from Churchville, Pa., won her first Senior Division title by five strokes over Troy Beck, of Glenn Dale, Md. Both Shanahan-Rowe and Nevatt are members of the LPGA T&CP Northeast Division. (source: LPGA)
