On the weekend of September 9-10 the Tarheel Youth Golf Association (TYGA) staged the Coharie Junior Classic at Coharie CC. There were 90 junior golfers from all over North Carolina that participated. The boys played the blue tees while the girls played the gold tees. The top 5 the Boys Overall division earned invitations into the Jimmy Creed and Jimmy Anderson Boys tournaments. The first round of the event was marred by a weather delay causing many to finish their round on Sunday morning before the beginning of Round 2. The low score in Round 1 was by 15 year old Ty Willoughby from Chapel Hill with a score of 68. Willoughby went on to win the event with a second round of 75, finishing one under par. The girls division was won by Taylor Black of Winterville with scores of 83-82. Click here to view all the final scores.
