DID YOU KNOW - In 2002, Chantilly's Jenny Suh followed her individual medalist winning performance (36-hole, 138) in the VHSL Group AAA Boys Golf Championship a week earlier, with a first-place finish in the inaugural VHSL Girls Open Golf Championship. By 2005, participation in The Open had grown from 35 to over 100 competitors. Girls now advance through zone qualifiers to this individual championship event.
In this year's 2011 VHSL Girls Open Golf Championships, Clover Hill's Abby Portyata won the title on the second playoff hole over Battlefield's Karishma Thiagaraj. Both golfers shot a 36-hole total 144(71-73) after the two-day competition. James Madison's Shannon Brooks finished third with a 149(70-79), while Chantilly's Juhee Bae 150 (74-76) and Albemarle's Lauren Ekland 151 (77-74) rounded out the top five.
In 2009, 143 VHSL schools reported participation of 351 girls in the sport of golf. A girls team championship is on the horizon, as the number of female golfers continues to grow.
