On Tuesday, July 7, the 2015 Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour played the first round of the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Team Championship at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club (Graaeen Course) in Williamsburg, VA. The course has served as host to multiple college events and is a great course for this two-day tournament. The event features a field 28 players from 15 different LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Programs across the country.
The first round of the tournament was a Team Choice Scramble where each player hit then played from their preferred shot. In the Championship Division, Ashni Dhruva (Katy, TX 2016) and Isha Dhruva (Katy, TX 2019) are leading the field by one stroke at eight under par with a score of 64. In the Futures Division, Jessica Thornton (Virginia Beach, VA 2017) and Kendall Turner (Chesapeake, VA 2019) are leading the field by two strokes at two under par with a score of 70. In the Discovery Division, Jordyn Cline (Mahwah, NJ 2022) and Corinne Orsulak (New Ringgold,PA 2022) are leading the field by four strokes at three over par with a score of 39.
The second round of the event will be a Four Ball Stroke Play where each player plays her own ball and the lower score of the two players is the team score each hole. Weather for Wednesday’s round looks beautiful with sunny skies and temperatures in the low 90s. It should be a great day for the final round of the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Team Championship.
