| Lori Castillo Miss Lori Castillo, 17, of Honolulu, kept the Girls' Junior Championship Trophy in Hawaii for the second consecutive year by defeating Miss Jenny Lidback, of Baton Rouge, La., 4 and 2, in the final over the North Course of the Wilmington Country Club, in Wilmington, Del. Miss Althea Tome, the 1977 Champion, was also from Honolulu. Miss Mary Barrett, of El Cajon, Calif., was medalist with a score of 146 for 36 holes. She was defeated in the first round by Miss Shannon McAleer, 3 and 2. In one semi-final, Miss Castillo, who had lost to Miss Tome in a 1977 quarter-final match, defeated Miss Cathy Hanlon, 2 and 1. Miss Lidback, just 15 years old, eliminated Miss Cindy Pleger, 6 and 5, in the other semi-final. She barely made the match-play field after scoring 164 in qualifying play. She birdied the first extra hole in a five-way playoff for the last place in the 32-player match-play draw. In the final, Miss Castillo won three of the first four holes and maintained that lead after the first nine. Miss Lidback bogied the 10th hole to drop four holes behind. Finally, at the 16th hole, a par 3, Miss Lidback bunkered her tee shot and bogied the hole. Miss Castillo parred the hole to end the match. |
