In a thrilling conclusion to the 2nd Carolinas Collegiate Showcase, Madison Myers of Cary, N.C. and a member of the class of 2025 came away with a clutch playoff victory in the Girls’ Division.

 

“Today was a rough start,” said Myers. “I definitely felt the nerves going off in the beginning but I started feeling good with my putter and giving myself some chances. Putter got hot and it was crazy.” 

 

Myers came into her final round tied for the lead after an opening 5-over-par, 77. Through the first 11 holes of her day Sunday Myers was already 5-over-par, and needed a good finish for a chance to come away with a victory. Birdies on holes 16 and 18 afforded her the opportunity to compete in a playoff with Madison Dixon of Boiling Springs, N.C. which she was able to win on the first hole. 

 

“Coming in today, 16, 17 and 18 was huge,” said Myers. “I knew what I had to do. I didn’t give myself the easiest shots but I knew what I had to do. Things just worked out.” 

 

For Myers, this is also her first ever CGA Championship victory. 

 

“It’s mind blowing,” said Myers. “It’s definitely something I will remember forever. It was an awesome weekend.”

 

A final round 3-over-par, 75 for Dixon was an impressive way to finish the tournament in style, as she collected two birdies and an eagle in her final round. Eleanor Burnette of Wrightsville Beach, N.C. and Karsyn Roberts of Pikeville, N.C. round out the top three as they both finished at 11-over-par for the tournament. 

 

In the Boys’ Division Keenan Royalty of Raleigh, N.C. had his own coronation by way of a final round 4-under-par, 68 to finish the tournament at Even Par. 

 

After a first round 4-over-par, 76, Royalty completely flipped the script of his tournament teeing off the West Course in the second round, and coming back from nine shots to win his first ever CGA Championship. 

 

“I didn’t think I played too badly yesterday,” said Royalty. “Just a stretch of a few holes. I hit the ball better today and made a few clutch par putts.” 

 

“It feels great,” said Royalty. “I’ve been close a few times and played in events all year. It feels really good to finally get one.” 

 

Royalty’s final round was as smooth as it gets amid blustery weather conditions, playing a perfect game with four birdies and 14 pars. 

 

“It really has to do with a few pretty long par putts I made today,” said Royalty. “I think that’s a really good reason why I was able to win this today.” 

 

James Rico of Cary, N.C. finished in second place two shots back of Royalty, with rounds of 2-over-par and Even Par to show for his work this weekend. Jonathan Honeywell of Whispering Pines, N.C. and Jack Boyer of Greensboro, N.C. round out the top three, both finishing at 3-over-par for the Championship.
