Shyla Brown of Matthews, N.C. and Tyler Dorsey of Charlotte, N.C. captured the overall titles at the 2021 Daniel Meggs Memorial Junior. Brown finished at 2-over-par, 146 and Dorsey closed the event with a 4-under-par, 140 finish. While Brown and Dorsey both played an outstanding two days of golf, they claimed their victories in much different fashion.


Brown came into the final round with a 12-stroke lead over her closest competitor at 2-over-par, 74 and was determined to go low today to extend that lead. A birdie on No. 1 set the tone for her round and an eagle on No. 4 solidified that. She carded two more birdies on the day on Nos. 10 and 17 to finish the round with a solid even-par, 72 and a new trophy.


Dorsey came into the final round four strokes off of the lead after an even-par, 72 opening round. Lawson Harkey of Crouse, N.C. took an early lead at 4-under-par, 68 which was going to be tough to beat. However, Cooper Burris of Kannapolis, N.C. and Simon Burgos of Raleigh, N.C. were well within striking distance at 3-under-par, 69 and 2-under-par, 70, respectively.


Dorsey played an incredible round carding six birdies on the day on Nos. 3, 8, 9, 10, 16 and 17 to put himself atop the leaderboard as the final scorecard was turned in. Although the first round leader, Harkey and Burgos also finished their round at 4-under-par, 140 overall and went into a playoff for the title. Dorsey birdied the first hole in the playoff to claim victory. Harkey and Burgos tied for runner-up in the overall boys’ division.


Anna Reimers of Mount Olive, N.C. earned runner-up in the girls division with matching 86s in the first and second round to finish with a two-day total of 172. Kellyn Arnold of Marvin, N.C. claimed third place just two strokes behind Reimers with an overall score of 174.


Cooper Burris of Kannapolis, N.C. won the boys’ 14 - 15 division title at 3-under-par, 141. Carding a 3-under-par, 69 in the opening round gave him a leg up in the division and he was able to capture the title after an even-par, 72 in the final round. Aston Lee of Charlotte, N.C. claimed runner-up with an even-par, 144 overall. Lee fired off a 4-under-par, 68 in the final round, which ties the low round of the week, to climb up from his tied 13 position after the first round.


Noah Fry of Waxhaw, N.C. earned first place in the boys’ 12 - 13 division with an even-par, 144 overall finish. Fry was the only player in this division to card an under-par round, which he did today in the final round with a 1-under-par, 71. Chris Andrew Etters of Kure Beach, N.C. earned runner-up in this division with a two-day total score of 154.


The Carolinas Golf Association would like to extend a thank you to the members and staff of TPC Piper Glen and Pine Lake Country Club for their warm welcome and hospitality in hosting the 2021 Daniel Meggs Memorial Junior. We would also like to thank our partners at the HV3 Foundation for their support in this event and in junior golf as a whole.


Daniel Meggs grew up in Charlotte, N.C. and had a highly successful junior golf career winning the Carolinas Golf Association’s inaugural Dogwood State Junior Boys’ Championship and the Joe Cheves Junior Invitational in 2005 along with the Carolinas PGA Charles Tilghman Junior in 2006. Meggs competed in three straight USGA U.S. Junior Amateurs with a top finish tied for 33rd in 2007. Meggs played collegiate golf at Wake Forest University from 2008-2011. After college, Daniel shared his knowledge and love for golf as the Director of Instruction at TPC Piper Glen where he especially loved working with the junior golfers. In May of 2017, just weeks before his wedding to his high school sweetheart Jordan, Meggs was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. Daniel fought courageously against the cancer for over 2 years before passing away in February of 2020.
