KCGA Retains Mid-America Cup Over Weekend
KCGA Defeats MAGA 13-3 at Kansas City CC
While it turned out to be a beautiful weekend at Kansas City Country Club for the final weekend of the year, the team from Kansas City was just too much for the St. Louis juniors. Team KCGA retained the Mid-America Cup with a 13-3 victory over the weekend.
Saturday morning started with the Foursomes format, boy/girl vs. boy/girl sides. KCGA swept the morning Foursomes to take a 4-0 lead to the afternoon Four-Ball.
In the afternoon Four-Ball, the side of Brooke Biermann and Momo Kikuchi finally put Team MAGA on the board with a 4&3 victory. KCGA would take a commanding 7-1 lead into Sunday’s Singles only needing 1 point to retain the cup.
With Sunday’s Singles, came an enormous deficit and pressure on Team MAGA. Momo Kikuchi and Mia Rallo were able to put the final 2 points on the board for MAGA with 1up and 3&2 wins respectively. While the kids fought hard all the way til the end, Team KCGA took 6 of the 8 Singles to wrap the 2019 Mid-America Cup. MAGA now leads the series 9-8-4 over the 21 year history, last winning the Cup outright in 2012.
Thank you to the Kansas City Golf Association for their efforts in putting together the 2019 Matches and Kansas City Country Club for hosting! Thank you to the juniors who played their hearts out and to the parents for their support in getting the kids to KC.
