NCHSAA, NCISAA Playoffs: Myers Park’s Elizabeth Rudisill wins 4A golf with record score
Myers Park’s Elizabeth Rudisill did something that no girl has ever done at the N.C. 4A state golf championships.
After shooting a 5-under-67 on Day 1 at Pinehurst No. 6, Rudisill backed it up with another Tuesday. Her total score of 10-under 134 left her seven shots clar of Marvin Ridge’s Alicia Fang, who finished second. Rudisill also broke the 19-year-old scoring record 136 set by East Henderson’s Blair Lamb in 2003.
Rudisill is the first girls state champion from Myers Park. And she played bogey-free.
In the team race, Myers Park led after Day 1, but Pinecrest had a blistering Tuesday to beat the Mustangs by two shots for the team crown. Pinecrest won its fifth state championship.
▪ In the 1A/2A event, Pine Lake Prep’s Caroline Johnson won the individual state championship, finishing at 4-over-par for the tournament. She shot an even part 72 Tuesday to win by four shots over Christ The King’s Malerie Lague.
Newton-Conover won the team title.
▪ In the 3A finals, Eastern Alamance’s Emily Matthews won her second straight championship and in the team race Fike beat South Central.
▪ Eighth-grader Jenna Kim of Durham Academy fired a 6-under-par 66 Monday and took medalist honors in the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association girls’ golf state tournament.
Kim’s round helped Durham Academy win the team title in Division 1, with a score of 209. North Raleigh Christian was second, at 217. Carmel Christian, Cannon School and Providence Day finished 5-6-7 in the team competition.
Second individually was Garland Gould of St. Mary’s School, with a 68. Providence Day sophomore Elizabeth Pritchard led Charlotte-area players, finishing in a tie for eighth place with a 77.
O’Neal Academy won the Division 2 team title, led by medalist Alexsandra Lapple, who shot a 69.
The tournament was played at Bryan Park Golf Club near Greensboro.
