MOORE, TAYLOR AND MCGOWAN TO BE HEADLINERS AT CGA'S 3RD DOGWOOD STATE JR. CHAMPIONSHIP
WEST END, NC (8/10/07)— Defending champion Courtney Taylor Gastonia, NC and top-ranked Meghan Moore of Bahama, NC will be headliners among the girls, while Michael McGowan of Southern Pines, NC will be the highest ranked male player at the 3rd Dogwood State Junior Championships, which will be played August 14-16 on the Willow Creek Course at High Point (NC) Country Club.
The Carolinas Golf Association event is a 54-hole stroke competition for boys in the 12-13, 14-15 and 16-18 age divisions and the girls'
division. Boys ages 11 and under will engage in 27 holes of stroke play.
After 36 holes, the field is cut to the low half and ties in each division except for the youngest boys' division, in which there is no cut.
Taylor, the reigning Carolinas Junior champion, won the Dogwood State title a year ago at Bermuda Run CC near Winston-Salem by a one-stroke margin. She comes into this year's event ranked No. 5 among North Carolina girls. Moore, winner of the Vicki DiSantis Junior and a co-runnerup in the North and South Junior earlier this summer, is the No.1 ranked girl in the Tar Heel state.
McGowan, son of former PGA Tour regular and current Champions Tour player Pat McGowan , is second-ranked among North Carolina boys. McGowan's credits this year include reaching the quarterfinals of the U.S. Junior Championship, which was played last month at Boone Valley GC in Augusta, MO.
The starting field of 134 at this year's Dogwood State Junior includes 28 competitors in the girls' division, 12 in the boys' 12-13 age bracket, 10 in the 11-and-under group and 84 in the 14-18 boys' championship division. A sectional qualifying event at Sourwood Forest Golf Club in Snow Camp, NC on Aug. 6 helped to trim the field down from the 203 who signed up prior to the July 27 entry deadline. Zachary Garrison of Mills River, NC shot 69 to lead the 46 boys, ages 14-18, who successfully qualified at Sourwood Forest.
This will be the 11th time that High Point CC's Willow Creek Course has hosted a CGA major competition. The Willard Byrd-designed course will play at 6,812 yards for the older boys.
