The Coloradans who are competing in the U.S. Girls’ Junior have some ground to make up if they hope to make match play at Boone Valley Golf Club in Augusta, Mo.
With the top 64 players after Tuesday’s second round of stroke play advancing to match play, Jaclyn Murray of Grand Junction sits in 73rd place of out 156 competitors, while Charlotte Hillary of Cherry Hills Village is 121st, and Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado member Shelby Poynter of Scottsbluff, Neb., is 154th.
Murray, who will represent Colorado next week in the Girls Junior America’s Cup, made one birdie and shot a 6-over-par 77 in Monday’s opening round after being even-par for her first nine holes. Murray is competing in her second U.S. Girls’ Junior.
Hillary, who likewise will be on the state’s Girls JAC team next week, carded three birdies in a round of 81. And Poynter posted a 92 due in part to the 10 she took on the par-4 second hole.
Mika Liu of Beverly Hills, Calif., leads after round 1 following her 4-under-par 67. Only seven players broke par on Monday.
Here are scores for the Coloradans — and the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado members — competing in the U.S. Girls’ Junior this week:
73. Jaclyn Murray, Grand Junction 77
121. Charlotte Hillary, Cherry Hills Village 81
154. Shelby Poynter, JGAC member from Scottsbluff, Neb. 92
