Medalist Anderson Defeats Kim, 6 and 5, To Win
61st U.S. Girls' Junior Championship
Bedminster, N.J. - Her instructor, Dale Helm, is an amateur who studies the golf swing. Her competitive golf season consists of three months and she rarely ventures beyond the North Dakota state border to play competitions.
Yet at the end of six grinding days, including 36 holes of stroke-play qualifying where she earned medalist honors with a 3-under-par 141 total, and won six matches in four days, Amy Anderson, 17, of Oxbow, N.D., walked away with the 61st Girls’ Junior title, defeating past U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Kimberly Kim, 17, of Hilo, Hawaii, 6 and 5 in the 36-hole final Saturday on the 6,289-yard, par-72 New Course.

Two For One; Junior Championships Doing Fine Sharing Same Venue This Week At Trump National
Bedminster, N.J. - This year’s two U.S. Junior Amateur Championships being contested at the same club is rare but not unheard of. It marks the third time the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Girls’ Junior have been held at the same venue. In 1978, the two championships were held simultaneously for the first time at (Del.) Wilmington Country Club; the girls playing the North Course and boys on the South Course. Twenty-two years later, at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Ore., the boys and girls alternated play between the Ghost Creek (public) and Witch Hollow (public) layouts.
