A Chapel Hill High School golfer has qualified for the 2016 US Women’s Amateur Tournament.
A birdie and an eagle over the final five holes of play at the Sectional Qualifier at Walnut Grove Country Club in Dayton, Ohio brought 16-year-old rising junior Gina Kim into a playoff for a chance to advance.
Three spots were up for grabs in the eight-woman playoff.
Kim hit a wedge shot to within three feet of the pin on the first playoff hole, according to the Chapel Hill High women’s golf coach, and sank the birdie putt to qualify for the 2016 US Women’s Amateur.
The tournament will be held August 1 – 7 at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pennsylvania.
