COLLINGWOOD, ON, Canada — June 3, 2015 – Biion Footwear, a Canadian manufacturer of inspirational and innovative footwear, announces that Symetra Tour Professional and Biion’s own Casey Kennedy secured an impressive Top-5 finish at the Gosling’s Dark & Stormy Classic.
Kennedy is a burgeoning young golfer who is working hard on the Symetra Tour in hopes of qualifying for the LPGA Tour. She shot a 73, 71, and 70 to finish at 2-under for the tournament – just four back from the winner. These scores included two eagles and ten birdies. Kennedy is ranked #5 on the Symetra Tour for eagles.
“We applaud Casey for this Top-5 finish. It took some real toughness to keep on the first page of the leader board. These women competing on the Symetra Tour are hungry and want to move onto the LPGA. This is a great step forward for Casey,” commented Biion Footwear CEO & President Rick Buchanan.
Kennedy played one professional golf event in 2014 so her professional golf career officially began in 2015 where she played in three events. This year her playing schedule is full and this weekend she will be competing in the Symetra Tour Fuccillo KIA Championship at Capital Hills in Albany, New York. As an amateur, Kennedy was named Augusta State’s freshman of the year and enjoyed three collegiate wins.
