Â鶹¾«Ñ¡â€™s Tiegan Taylor finished in eighth place at the B.C. Junior Girls Golf Championship.
Taylor carded a four-day score of +16 over par (72-83-73-67) 304 last week at the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear Course.
If not for an uncharacteristic second round of 11-over 83, the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ Golf and Country Club member could have challenged for a top-five finish.
A week earlier, Taylor finished in a tie for ninth at the B.C. Women’s Amateur in Vernon. Taylor will attend the University of New Mexico this fall on a golf scholarship.
Emma Sabbagh, also of the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ Golf and Country Club, finished in a tie for 20th (317).
The story of the week at the junior girls championship was Richmond’s Alisha Lau who led from wire-to-wire to post a 9-under par score and win by 10 shots.
