KCGA Retains Mid-America Cup; Decided by Final Match!
KCGA needed just 1 point to retain the Mid-America Junior Cup on Sunday after taking 3 of the 4 points on Day 1. Early on it appeared that final point would be attained out of the gate in the first match; however, after finding themselves 3 down thru 12 holes Momo Kikuchi/Max Kreikemeier battled back to Halve the match for a half-point.
The second match with Shannon Gould/Carson Postal were handling themselves the whole way and closed out KCGA 5&3. The match stood at KCGA 3.5, MAGA 2.5 at that point with two matches on the course. The final 2 matches were each All Square through 16 holes.
MAGA team of 2015 Junior Champions, Abby Schroeder/Joe Terschluse would win Hole 17 to go 1up and maintain the win on Hole 18 to knot the score at 3.5 points each. The final match of Madison DeRousse/Frankie Thomas would lose Hole 17 which sealed the deal for KCGA.
Thank you to the KCGA and the Nicklaus Golf Club at Lionsgate for their hospitality this weekend. There were great matches all weekend and great camaraderie between these juniors representing MAGA and KCGA, the essence of these matches. MAGA continues to lead the overall Mid-America Cup 9-7-1 dating back to 1999.
