Nice article by Randy Lefko mentioning all the Clay County junior golfers. Randy covered the tournament and briefly spoke to a few of the golfers including Alyzabeth.
From the article:
While Mawhinney and French waged their battle for the top trophy, in the girls match, Fleming Island High sophomore Alyzabeth Morgan also staged a second round attack on early leader and eventual champion Sahana Chokshi, an eighth grader to Episcopal High School, who dominated the Eagle Harbor course with a four over par 76 in round one followed by an improvement to just one over par in round two to win convincingly over Morgan who finished second at 12-over par after hitting eight over in round one. Morgan improved to just four over in round two, but Chokski stayed well above the field with just three birdies, but with 12 par scores. Morgan had one birdie on the first nine, then one on the final hole to close the gap.
Clay High’s Taylor Young finished tied for seventh at 23 over par.
For the girls, Sahana Chokshi, from the San Jose Country Club, and Episcopal High School in Jacksonville, faultered the least to hold court with a four over par 76 in a tough girls field with Fleming Island’s Alyzbeth Morgan (8-over), Clay High’s Taylor Young (10-over) and St. Johns Country Day School’s Addy Vogt (20-over) chasing from behind.
Chokshi, just a seventh grader last year at Episcopal and an FHSAA Class 1A championship qualifier, opened strong with seven pars but bogied eight and birdied nine to grab a slim lead at the clubhouse at an even par 36 while the field struggled to keep near 40.
Morgan had four bogies and five pars to fall behind early and repeated her 40 score on the back nine with one birdie, but also a double bogie on 14.
