ANTRIM GIRL MAKING MARK OVERSEAS

STEPHANIE WINS FOR SECOND
TIME IN UNITED STATES

Irish girls’ match-play champion Stephanie Meadow from Antrim, Northern Ireland, has won for a second time on the International Junior Golf Tour in the United States.
Stephanie, a student at the International Golf Academy on South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island, has rounds of 80 and 76 to total 156 – the same aggregate as Marissa Kamelgarn from Mattopac, New York State (82-74) in the Girls’ 19 and Under years section of the Fitness for Golf Colonial tournament, the first “major” of the International Junior Golf tour season.
Stephanie won a sudden-death play-off at the first hole.
Frost delayed the start of both rounds over a tricky course which has tree-lined fairways, blind tee shots and quick greens at Golden Horsehoe Golf Club, Williamsburg in Virginia.
After finishing third in her debut event, Stephanie won an IJGT event at Sarasota.
She also won the girls’ title in the Nick Faldo Junior Series Grand Final at Celtic Manor in October.
