LEE’S SHOOMEE CHARGES TO TITLE IN NCHSAA 3-A WOMEN’S GOLF
SOUTHERN PINES— Defending champion Siranon Shoomee charged from behind on Tuesday to win the individual championship in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s state 3-A women’s golf championships at the Longleaf Golf and Country Club.
Gina Kim of Chapel Hill has a two-shot lead over the field after a brilliant opening day round of 69 on Monday that featured six birdies. But Shoomee fired a terrific five-under par 67 in the final round, including a 32 on the back nine, to finish with a 138 total, five shots ahead of Kim. Kim recorded a 74 for a score of 143, good for second place.
Shoomee had taken a similar route to the crown last year, emerging from well back on the second day to win.
Riley Smyth of Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons finished third with a 149 total, nine shots off the pace. The championship layout was a par 72 and 5,659 yards.
Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons held a 13-stroke advantage in the team standings after the first day and held on to clinch the team title. The Crusaders recorded a two-day total of 473, 18 shots ahead of runner-up Waxhaw Marvin Ridge (491) and third-place Rockingham County (523).
Ledford had captured the last three state 3-A championships, but finished sixth.
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.
