SALISBURY GOLFERS DOMINATE IN 1-A/2-A WOMEN’S GOLF
FOXFIRE VILLAGE — Two Salisbury golfers ran away from the field and led their team to victory on Tuesday in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s state 1-A/2-A women’s golf championships on the Red Fox Course at the Foxfire Resort and Golf Club.
Grace Yatawara won the individual championship by shooting 73 Tuesday for a 145 total, one over par. She had recorded four birdies on Monday en route to a 72, the only even par round of the opening day, and was four shots ahead of the field entering the final day.
Yatawara’s teammate Isabella Rusher, who had won the tournament twice, in 2011 and 2012, finished second, two shots back. Her Tuesday score of one-under 71 was the best of the day.
Page Church of Avery County was third, but she was 17 strokes back.
Salisbury won its fourth consecutive state team championship. The Hornets had a 19-shot advantage over second-place Avery County in the team standings after the first day and expanded the final margin to 42 strokes, shooting an even 500. Newport Croatan was third at 550.
The course was set at par 72 and 5,703 yards for the championship.
The best three scores of a team counted toward the team totals, and a total of 10 teams and 78 golfers competed in the event, the 12th year that the sport has been classified. It was the third time that three separate championships have been held and the 34th year for state championship competition in the sport.
