A Tribute to Brittany Kelly In an emotional post-victory moment, Bonanno dedicated her win to the late Brittany Kelly, a trailblazing Indiana golfer and 2022 Indiana PGA Golf Professional of the Year. “There’s no words to describe (what it means to be the first Indiana female PGA Professional Champion), especially at a place like this, following someone like Brittany Kelly,” said Bonanno. Kelly’s legacy, which includes competing at Woodland and inspiring countless others, served as an inspiration for Bonanno.
