TAELOR RUBIN WINS 44TH TWIN STATES JUNIOR GIRLS'
CHAMPIONSHIP
Blythewood,
SC (7/28/10) --
Taelor Rubin of Raleigh, NC led wire-to-wire to take
home her fist ever major championship trophy. Rubin,
17, shot a final round 73 to finish with a one-under par
143 for the championship.
Rubin's game plan was
to just play the course and never let herself venture
away from trying to stay in the moment. "I was pretty
nervous today but I played very steady," Rubin said.
When asked what this
win means to her she said, "Oh my gosh, it's just
awesome. I have never won any tournament before never
mind a one of the biggest girls' championships in the
Carolinas. I feel amazing!"
Rubin joins the ranks
of players like Beth Daniel, Page Marsh and others who
has won this championship before. Rubin will be on a
high as she goes to Charlotte, NC in a few weeks to play
in the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship at Charlotte
Country Club.
Players were placed
into flights for the final round.
In the sub-junior
division Anna Eddy of Hilton Head, SC fired a 43-44--87
to take first place honors. This division plays a
shorter course and nine holes each day. "This is my
favorite tournament of the year and I am so happy I
won," said 11 year old Eddy.
This annual
championship is conducted by the Carolinas Golf
Association which has been serving amateur golf in the
Carolinas since 1909. For more information and history
