CGA Match Play

By Jasmine Ying

Just a month after winning the individual state championship as well as defending her school’s state title at the Colorado Girls High School State Tournament, rising junior Brenna Higgins took another victory at the CGA State Junior Championship.

Higgins won the match play tournament from June 26th to June 30th and played five rounds at the CommonGround Golf Course. In the final match Higgins defeated 14–year–old Addison Hines 5-and-4.

Charlie Tucker, a rising senior at Rock Canyon High school and a 2022 U.S Junior Ameteur qualifier, won the boys competition against Noah Richmond, 1-up. Tucker won his last three matches 1-up each. In the tight final match both players traded holes in a back-and-forth match until Tucker parred the 18th hole. Tucker’s high school, Rock Canyon High School, took second in the Colorado Boys High School State tournament, with Tucker being the best scorer for his school and tying for 8th place overall.
