Lillington, NC- The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour travels to the land of the Camels next weekend for the annual Campbell Classic at Keith Hills Golf Club in Lillington, NC.

Prep Preview
A native of the Great White North takes the Prep division’s overnight lead at the Campbell Girls Classic. Anne-Lea Lavoie (Quebec, Canada 2023) was scheduled to compete on the PKB Girls’ Tour last season three times before COVID-19 ultimately shutdown the schedule for just over a month and a half. Lavoie made the most out of her tour debut, opening the Campbell Classic at Keith Hills Golf Club with a round of 75 (+3). Lavoie went out in 35 (-1) with eight pars and a lone birdie on the par-five sixth. Coming in, the Canadian lost a bit of her momentum after a birdie on her tenth hole, bogeying five of the last eight holes to shoot 40, enough for a one-shot lead over Tour vet Kanchana Duangsam (Haymarket, VA 2026). Joining Lavoie and Duangsam in the final group will be Sophia Sarrazin (Westport, CT 2023) at (+5).
