NC Junior Girls' Semifinals Set for Friday
Defending champion Grace Massengill of Hickory, NC moved a step closer to repeating as the NC Junior Girls' champion winning both her matches at CC of Salisbury in Salisbury, NC. In the morning match, Massengill defeated Anna McDonald of Hickory, NC 1 up in a very close match. In the afternoon's quarterfinals, Massengill defeated two-time CGA junior major champion Callista Rice of Mars Hill, NC 4 and 2. Massengill will face off against 2014 NC Junior Girls' champion Grace Yatawara of Salisbury, NC. Yatawara was not able to defend her title in last year's championship as she was on a European trip. Yatawara, playing on her home course, defeated Elizabeth Nguyen of Pinehurst, NC in the morning match 2 and 1. The afternoon's quarterfinals match did not go as easy. Yatawara finally moved to the semifinals beating Rachel Keuhn of Asheville, NC on the 22nd hole. Massengill and Yatawara will play each other in the first semifinal's match at 8 am on Friday.
In the other bracket, qualifying medalist Riley Smyth of Cary, NC advanced to the semifinals defeating Ryann Sinclair of Mooresville, NC 2 and 1 and then had to go extra holes in beating Katherine Schuster of Kill Devil Hills, NC on the 20th hole. Smyth will play Emily Hawkins of Lexington, NC in the 8:10 semifinal's match. Hawkins advanced by defeating Samatha Vodry of Mooresville, NC 1 up in their morning match and advanced to the semifinals by beating Madison Isaacson of Greensboro, NC 4 and 3.
