The 2026 Greater Toledo Classic was cut down to 36 holes due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Each player still had the opportunity to compete once in the morning and afternoon, with leaders of each wave teeing off last in the final round.
Annabella Pancake-Webb was in a three-way tie for first to start the day and almost ended in that position as well. However, she rallied after a bogey on the 15th hole and birdied holes 17 and 18 to win by two.
“After 15, I just told myself it wasn’t over,” said Pancake-Webb. “I still had three holes to play, including two par-5s, and I’m a pretty aggressive player. I just reset and treated it like a new stretch of golf without changing anything. It was my first bogey of the tournament, and it was just a bad putt. You have to forget the bad shots and remember the good ones, and that’s what I tried to do.”
This is Pancake-Webb’s first Epson Tour and professional win. This is her second season the Epson Tour. As an Indiana native, winning in the Midwest was extra special for Pancake-Webb.
“It means so much,” said Pancake-Webb. “This is an incredible tour with incredible players and staff, and the golf course was great. To be able to win out here in the Midwest means a lot. Everyone knows this takes a lot of work, and winning is hard in golf. To finally get on top feels really good.”
Lauren Olivares was one of the players tied for first after a morning jump up the leaderboard. She shot a 65 (-6) with 10 birdies.
“I’m trying to prepare myself for the LPGA,” said Olivares. “That’s the main goal. I’m trying to learn as much as I can out here. Just try to be the best version of myself on the big tour.”
Mariel Galdiano also shot up the leaderboard this morning with a 68 (-3) and ended up T2 with Olivares.
“For me, it’s just pedal to the metal,” said Galdiano. “There’s no looking back. I’m giving myself a lot of good chances, and I think seeing the results follow is satisfying after all the hours you spend practicing and preparing.”
With this win, Pancake-Webb earned $37,500 and 500 Race to the Card points, which has bumped her up to No. 5 in the rankings.
The Epson Tour returns to play next week in Connecticut for the Hartford HealthCare Women’s Championship presented by Munich Re.
