Wotnosky and Herring Lead State Championship After Round 1
Haely Wotnosky of Wake Forest, NC and Jake Herring of Wilson, NC each lead their divisions after the first round of the 8th TYGA State Championship being conducted on the Orange and Black nines at Keith Hills GC in Buies Creek, NC.
Wotnosky, a home schooled senior who has committed to play college golf at the University of Virginia, shot a round of two under par 70 and leads the girls' division heading into Sunday's final round. Wotnosky got off to a slow start and was three over par through five holes, but settled down and birdied five of the last thirteen holes. Wotnosky has a six shot lead over Michelle Harn of Charlotte, NC and and eight shot advantage of Julie Fiedler of New Bern, NC.
In the boys' division, Herring, the 2017 NC Boys' 13 and Under Champion, finished with a two under par 70 and leads by two shots with 18 holes left to play. A trio of players sit tied for second that include Charlie Tate of Greensboro, NC, Daniel Adkins, II of Holly Springs, NC and Joey Pritchard of Whispering Pines, NC after rounds of even par 72. Ethan Hall of Morehead City, NC, Jackson Bode of Pinehurst, NC, Sam Davidson of Asheboro, NC and Thomas Deal of Cornelius, NC are four shots back at 74 and tied for fifth place.
This annual state junior tournament is conducted by the Tarheel Youth Golf Association, a division of the Carolinas Golf Association.
