The 39th Maryland Junior Girls Amateur Championship was held at Bretton Woods Recreation Center in Germantown, Maryland on June 23-24. Twenty competitors were in the Championship division and one competitor was in the 9-hole Division.
Aneka Seumanutafa, 14, of Clustered Spires Golf Course and the 2014 runner-up in the Junior Girls Championship, won her first MSGA-WD title by seventeen strokes. She was the only player in the field to break par (71) on the 5,699 yard course. Seumanutafa took the lead after round one when she posted a 68, a round which included five birdies. Following close behind, with an even-par 71 was Haley Carr, 17, of White Plains Golf Course. At 75 were Josephine Jung, 16, from Waverly Woods Golf Course and Charlotte Simpson, 15, from the Suburban Club.
Seumanutafa pulled away from the field during the second round with two birdies on the front nine and four birdies and two bogeys on the back nine. Aneka had a two-day total of 135. The runner-up was Josephine Jung who had a second round score of 77, and a two-day total of 152.
The 9-hole division winner was Annabelle Mozingo, from Montgomery Country Club. Mozingo played the front nine during round one, starting off strong with bogeys on the first three holes. She would go on to shoot a 53. The highlight of her second round, played on the back nine, was a par on the par-5 fifteenth after getting up-and-down from just over the green. She shot 50 on the back nine for a total of 103.
