Rennegarbe's win also put an end to PCHS junior Heather McDaniel's 2011 unbeaten streak, which ended at four matches. McDaniel struggled after a double-bogey on hole two put her a pair of shots behind both Rennegarbe and eventual second-place finisher Madi May (Nashville, 38).
The Lady Panthers placed third as a team with a 184, twenty-one strokes behind Nashville's 163. Okawville was second at 175, Red Bud fourth with a 190.
Olivia Mathis (45), Alexis Anderson (45), and Brooke Heisner (51) completed PCHS's score. Claire Wittenauer (57) and Britney Thomas (62) were the other golfers for Pinckneyville.
