The Utah Section PGA played host to an individual High School State Championship Tournament on Thursday, June 4 at the Rose Park Golf Course in Salt Lake City. The competition gave members of the Emery Lady Spartans golf team one last opportunity to compete in 2020.

Playing as individuals only, junior Angela Nielson was the top placing representative from Emery as she finished 30th overall after shooting a 112. Fellow junior Madisyn Mann tied for 33rd with a 116, while Macie Nielson ended one-stroke back in 35th place. Jannika Beagley ended 40th with a 127.

Morgan’s Ellie DeMond took home the championship after shooting a plus-1, 75 on the afternoon. Richfield’s Ellie Hair ended two-strokes back in second, while Piper Harris, also from Richfield, ended plus-7 in third.

Making an effort to create an experience for the spring high school golf season, the Utah PGA sent out invitations to each golf coach throughout the state. Each coach was then able to invite six players to participate.

The tournament, which was not sanctioned by the Utah High School Activities Association, followed CDC guidelines. Those restrictions meant the flag stick must be left in and no rakes in bunkers throughout the course.
