Gina Kim, a 14 year old freshman at Chapel Hill High School, has been named the 2014 N.C. Junior Player of the Year by the Tarheel Youth Golf Association and the Carolinas Golf Association.

Kim captured the girls honor for an amazing year in which she won the Ballantyne Junior Girls’ Open in February and medaled in the USGA US Junior Girls’ qualifying in June.

Kim also won the NCHSAA 3A central regional this past October and advanced to the US Junior Girls’ Championship in another prestigious national event.

Chapel Hill golf coach Jim Williams says he’s impressed with both Kim’s consistency and ability.

“By far, the most talented and driven player I’ve had the pleasure to coach during eight years at CHHS,” Williams says of his young star.

With 13 top 10 finishes in 18 tournaments she’s played in and a tournament scoring average of 74.02, we should hear even more about this rising golf star in the coming years.
