What a victory for Aneka Seumanutafa (Emmitsburg, MD)! She won the 39th Junior North & South Championship on Wednesday July 5th at Pinehurst after defeating Brooke Sansom (Montgomery, Alabama) in a sudden death playoff. In a field of 85 players, Aneka was thirteen-under-par with scores of 70-66-67.
It’s not Seumanutafa’s first trip to Pinehurst. She played in the Women’s North & South Amateur last year and played in numerous U.S. Kids events in the area as well. Seumanutafa will also play the Women’s North & South Amateur again this year. That tournament begins on Monday.
“This really boosted my confidence,” she said. “It’s a really tough tournament and field, but now I feel like I can compete with a lot of the players.”
Best of luck to her on Monday when she competes in the Women’s North & South Championship!
