Both teams fought hard to win the better of 15 points. After the first day, the teams were tied at two and a half, but the professionals battled the second day and won five and a half points to capture the victory with eight total points.

The Amateur team consisting of ten top Arizona women golfers included, Missy Farr-Kay, Chris Giza, Brooke Todare, Sue Durkin, Ashley Peyman, Melanie Boyles, Laura Moore, Alison Hurley, Lynn Simmons, and Mime Chapo.

The Heather Farr Trophy Matches were established in 1992 by Heather Farr, an Arizona State All-American and LPGA tour player. Heather died of breast cancer in 1993 and in 2002 was inducted into the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame. The matches are traditionally held at Grayhawk Golf Club, which named its first hole of the Talon Course “Farrview” as a tribute to her, and erected a bronze statue in her memory near the first tee.
