UNLV senior golfer claims Nevada State Women’s Amateur title

Steady and consistent did the trick for McKenzi Hall the first two days of the Nevada State Women’s Amateur.

The UNLV senior then put her foot on the gas with 10 holes remaining in the final round to claim the title at Bear’s Best Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Hall birdied the ninth and 11th holes, then made eagle on the par-5 12th to move to 4 under. She parred in to claim her first state championship.

Hall finished at 4-under 212, good for a four-stroke win over Bishop Gorman junior Samantha Harris. Utah Tech sophomore and former Liberty standout Samantha Phelan was third, another three shots back.

It was a wire-to-wire victory for Hall, who held the lead Monday and Tuesday after even-par 72s both days. Harris caught her Tuesday with a 5-under 67, the low round of the tournament. That turned Wednesday’s final round into a match-play situation.

Hall struck quickly with a birdie on the third hole, while Harris bogeyed Nos. 2 and 3. The lead became three shots and Harris never got closer.

Hall joins a long list of winners of the state’s most important amateur event. LPGA Hall of Famer Patty Sheehan is a four-time winner. Hall’s former UNLV teammate Veronica Joels won three times in four years from 2018-21.

In the Silver division, Ronda Henderson took an 11-shot lead into the final round. Her lead was trimmed to three shots at one point Wednesday, but she rallied for an eight-shot win over Regina Quintero. Henderson, who had the division’s low round with a 71 on Tuesday, blew up to an 80 on Wednesday to finish at 12-over 228 for the week.

Cristy Esposo won the Silver Net division.

The men’s Nevada State Amateur takes place Friday through Sunday at Boulder Creek Golf Club.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.

The seller and the buyer are both limited liability companies, according to property records. Both parties were represented by Jeff Brown of Tahoe Mountain Realty, who declined to comment on the deal.

The median home price in Incline Village was $1.595 million as of December, a fall of 3.3% from a year earlier, according to data from Realtor.com. Listings, meanwhile, spent an average of 130 days on the market.
