Philadelphia, Pa. (September 11, 2024) — It was an electric day as eleven of the best women PGA of America Golf Professionals gathered at Union League Golf Club at Torresdale for the 2024 Women’s Philadelphia PGA Professional Championship. The victory went to Joanna Coe, PGA, of Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., who shot an impressive even-par 70, despite a challenging course and tricky greens. Coe, who was just selected to the 2024 Women’s PGA Cup Team, managed to make three birdies during her round to become the first two-time Women’s Philadelphia PGA Professional Champion.

“I know Donald Ross as an architect and he can be difficult,” said Coe. “It’s usually if you’re above the pin, it’s going to be really difficult up and in; if you’re above the pin putting, it’s going to be lightning. I just kept that in mind the whole time and tried not to get too cute on anything.” Coe also extended gratitude to her husband Ryan for being so supportive and a terrific dad to their newborn daughter Jenny, and for giving her the opportunity to continue doing what she loves.

Only one stroke behind Coe was 2023 Women’s Philadelphia PGA Professional Champion Tessa Teachman, Aronimink G.C. Brittany Weddell, Green Valley C.C., finished at 2-over par. In a tie for fourth were PGA Members Megan Leineweber, Stonewall Links; and Patty Post, University of Delaware.
