Top seeds Jordan Spieth and Amy Anderson

win United States boys, girls championships

Leading match-play qualifiers Jordan Spieth of Dallas and Amy Anderson from Oxbow, North Dakota, have won the United States boys and girls championships respectively at the Donald Trump National Club New Jersey today.
Spieth posted a 4 and 3 victory over Jay Hwang of San Diego and Anderson defeated Kimberly Kim of Hilo, Hawaii, 6 and 5 in 36-hole final matches on the New Course.
It marked the first time since 1991 that the stroke play medalists from the first two days of the tournament have gone on to survive the match play phase.
Tiger Woods beat Brad Zwetschke at Bay Hill in Florida for the boys title that year, his first USGA title. Emilee Klein defeated Kimberly Marshall at Crestview Country Club in Wichita, Kan., for the girls title.
Anderson, 17, was 2 up after the morning round and then won three of the first four holes in the afternoon to take control.
The 15-year-old Spieth, who was one up with eight holes to play in the afternoon round, rolled in birdies at Nos. 11, 13 and 14 holes to take command.
