Carl Junction claimed the team championship and Nevada’s Emree Cameron was the individual medalist at Tuesday’s Joplin Lady Eagle Invitational girls golf tournament at Schifferdecker Golf Course. 

Carl Junction topped the team standings with a four-person score of 424.

Joplin was second in the team standings with a 427, while Webb City was third with a 460 and Republic took fourth with a 483.

Rounding out the team standings were Joplin B (496), Seneca (523) and Webb City B (527).

Nevada’s Cameron easily captured individual medalist honors, as she shot a 5-under-par 66. She had seven birdies and made par on nine holes. 

Nevada coach Brian Leonard said Cameron’s 66 is a school record for the lowest 18-hole round.

“Emree started out with a couple of bogies in her first four holes,” Leonard said. “I told her she might have a few bogies but she’ll also have several birdies to offset those bogies…and she did. She birdied three holes on the front nine for her 1-under-par 35.  

“She then held it steady at par until she birdied No. 15,” Leonard added. “After this hole, she took advantage of her length off the tee. Her length off of the tee provided her several short wedge shots into the green for her approach shots. She dialed in her wedge shots into the green with four birdies on her last four holes for her 4- under-31 to finish with her 66.”

Just a sophomore, Cameron finished fourth at last year’s Class 2 state tournament. She also won this event a year ago. 

Republic’s Izzy Benson was the runner-up with a 90 and Joplin’s Drew Yockey finished third with a 94.

Nevada’s Riley Severance placed fourth with a 101, while Carl Junction’s Anna Burch finished fifth with a 102 and Carthage’s Shay Gaddis was sixth with a 103.

Rounding out the top 10 were Webb City’s Jacie Crouch (104), Joplin’s Kenna Haley (105), Nevada’s Paige Hertzberg (105) and Carl Junction’s Rylee Sprague (106). 

Carl Junction’s Alex Teeter was 11th (107), followed by Joplin’s Gwen Zamanzadeh (109) and Carl Junction’s Olivia Teeter (109), who tied for 12th. 

Webb City’s Farryn Holcomb (113) finished 14th, while Joplin’s duo of Taylor Colson and Chloe Friend tied for 15th with scores of 114. 

There were nearly 40 golfers competing at the event.
