Fuquay-Varina
, NC
– Final results of the 17th
North Carolina Junior Girls Championship hosted by Bentwinds Golf and Country
Club on Friday, June 21, 2013. Par 36-36—72 5876 yards.
Lucia Polo of Greensboro, NC captured her second CGA championship title by
defeating Emilia Migliaccio of Cary,
NC by a 5 & 3 margin. Polo would find herself with a 3 up lead
early on in the match after Migliaccio’s putter began to fail her. “I putted well all week. I’m not really sure what happened out there
today,” Migliaccio said disappointed. “I
must have had about six putts lip out to keep myself in the match. It just wasn’t meant to be this week for me.” Polo was 5 up through the par 3 8th
but missed a short par putt on the par 4th 9th to give
one back to Migliaccio. Polo would
remain 4 up until the 13th hole where Migliaccio’s approach shot
would find the mulch and pine straw left of the green. She failed to get up and down while Polo was
able to get out of the greenside bunker which landed close to the hole and was
able to convert the par putt. Polo would
then go 5 up and dormie heading into the par 5 14th. Migliaccio would not quit though and was able
to reach the green in two by making birdie to keep her chances alive. Both players hit their tee shots close in to
the par 3 15th but Polo made a clutch birdie putt to close out the
match and take home the trophy.
Polo, who will attend the University
of Tennessee in the fall, is now
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.
