...renovation. But preservationists didn't just restore the buildings. They greened them, beginning with the Beaux Arts house next door that now serves as a visitors' center.

The rookie suffered an early break, but responded with four straight games to put the match out of reach. With a 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 win, Davis capped a storybook senior day with a dominant showing from all classes, a victory made even sweeter following a February team loss to the Big Green...
