“Keeping the ball in play was very important,” Dunham said. “Just limiting mistakes and knowing where to be on the course was important. When there was a birdie opportunity, it was important to take advantage of it.”

“Today was such a grind, the wind was insane,” Wilkie said. “Trying to control my numbers was really important. I had a good front nine and I just tried to maintain that score on the back."
Emerson B. Dever of Durham, NC finished the tournament at twelve-over par 155 overall to take second place in the girls division.
