CHAPEL HILL GOLFER LEADS INDIVIDUAL STANDINGS AFTER FIRST DAY IN NCHSAA 3-A WOMEN’S GOLF
SOUTHERN PINES— Gina Kim of Chapel Hill has a two-shot lead over the field after a brilliant opening day round of 69 on Monday in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s state 3-A women’s golf championships at the Longleaf Golf and Country Club.
Kim’s three-under par 69 featured six birdies and give her a two-stroke advantage over Siranon Shomee of Lee Senior. Shomee is the defending champion, emerging from well back on the second day to win the individual crown in 2013.
Riley Smyth of Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons is in third, four shots off the pace. The championship layout is a par 72 and 5,659 yards.
Ledford has captured the last three state 3-A championships, but is down in the pack in the first day’s team standings. Cardinal Gibbons has a 232 while Marvin Ridge is in second, 13 shots back, with Rockingham County third.
The best three scores of a team count toward the team totals, and a total of 10 teams and 78 golfers are competing in the event, the 12th year that the sport has been classified. It is the third time that three separate championships have been held and the 34th year for state championship competition in the sport.
The final day of play is scheduled to get underway at 9:00 on Tuesday morning.
