I did get out to Lake Merced CC to watch the front nine of the afternoon round of the 36-hole Junior Girls final between Minjee Lee of Australia and Alison Lee of Valencia, CA. It was hard not to be impressed with just how very, very good these girls are. The distance they are able to hit the ball despite their diminutive stature is remarkable. They played a course of almost 6,300 yards.
In the 9 holes I saw, Alison Lee had 3 birdies and 6 pars and Minjee Lee had 1 birdie, 7 pars and a bogey. I was a little surprised to read that Minjee rallied from 3-down on the back nine to match, as Alison was 2-up on the 10th tee.
If you ever get a chance to watch top-flight junior girls golf, do so!
