from gao.ca
Shauna Liu continued to impress on day 2 of the Ontario Junior (U19) Girls Championship at Summit Golf & Country Club shooting even par (72) and maintaining her spot at the top of the leaderboard. With brisk temperatures and clear skies, Summit G&CC provided a great setting for the tournament once again as the competitors battled fiercely and demonstrated resilience as the round progressed. There were some remarkable performances as Julia Alexander-Carew and Stephanie Woo both shot a low round of 69. Here is how the rest of the day shaped up.
At the end of day two, Shauna Liu of Station Creek Golf & Country Club maintained her lead of 5 strokes by shooting even par (72). Sitting comfortably in first heading into day 3, Liu hopes “to continue getting up and down when missing greens in regulation”. Moving up from third place and into second is Team Ontario’s Aryn Matthews who shot a 1 under par (71). She credits her phenomenal performance to her short game; “I managed to make a few birdies on the back nine and a few up and downs”. One shot behind Matthew’s is Julia Alexander-Carew of Credit Valley Golf & Country Club who finished her second round with a 2 under par (69).
