Fuquay-Varina, NC – Quarterfinal
and Semifinal Match Play results of the 17th North Carolina
Junior Girls Championship hosted by Bentwinds Golf and
Country Club on Thursday, June 20, 2013. Par 36-36—72 5876 yards.
14-year old Emilia Migliaccio of Cary, NC
was able to get through two matches to find herself in the final championship
match that eluded her last year. The
long hitting Migliaccio defeated Jessica Spicer of Bahama, NC by a 3 and 2
margin and then went on to defeat Kate Collom of Davidson, NC by 4 and 3. “I was pretty upset last year when I didn’t
make it into the finals,” Migliaccio said.
“This week I’ve been feeling very confident and I’m excited to play for
the championship. I didn’t make many
mistakes today which helped me have some good opportunities for birdie.”
Lucia Polo of Greensboro,
NC had to face off against friend and this
weeks travel companion, Cecily Overbey of High
Point, NC. Polo would go on to defeat Overbey by 4 and 3
in the quarterfinals. Polo, who is the
reining Carolinas Junior Girls Champion, then had to play current CGA Vicki DiSantis Junior Girls Champion, Madison Moosa
of Charlotte, NC.
Polo would eventually pull away on the back nine and also won her
semifinal match by a 4 and 3 margin.
Polo, who will attend the University of Tennessee
in the fall, has a steady game and is looking for her second CGA championship
title. The champion will be invited to be
a part of the exclusive Carolinas Junior Girls Team in the Mid-Atlantic Junior
Girls Team Matches that will take place at the Country Club of North Carolina
in Pinehurst, NC on July 26-28, 2013.
