Caukin’s Sunday didn’t go as well as Saturday, as she dropped a match to Ellen Van Buren to start Sunday play. Meanwhile, the other winners side match saw Betty Sessions send Debbie Schjodt to the one-loss side. Van Buren went on to take the first hot-seat of her Spirit Tour career with a hill-hill win over Sessions.
On the one-loss side, Debbie Schjodt eliminated Betty Sessions and set her sights on Van Buren in the double elimination finals. This wasn’t Schjodt’s first time playing in the pressure of the, and that experience came through for her as she defeated Van Buren 7-3 and 7-4 for her second tour win in three events.
