Amy Alcott won the second of her three Dinah Shores, two strokes ahead of runner-up Colleen Walker. [3] [4] With consecutive scores of 66 on Friday and Saturday, she entered the final round with a four-stroke lead. [5]

Alcott and caddy Bill Kurre started the tradition of jumping into "Poppie's Pond" upon winning. [3] [4] After her third win 1991, they repeated the plunge, including tournament host Dinah Shore. [6] It was not fully embraced by others until 1994, when Donna Andrews made the leap, followed by Nanci Bowen the next year, and it became an annual tradition. [7] [8]
