Pennsylvania 13th in State Team Championship behind Miller, Kan



   Two of best scholastic players in PIAA history teamed up Tuesday to help Pennsylvania land in 13th place  after the opening round of the final USGA Women’s State Team Championship at The Club of Las Campanas’ Sunrise Course in Santa Fe, N.M.
   Katie Miller, the PIAA champion in 1999, 2000 and 2002 and the runnerup in 2001 at Hempfield Area, and Aurora Kan, the 2010 PIAA champion after runnerup finishes in 2008 and 2009 at Chichester, had the two counting scores among the three women who made up the Pennsylvania team.
   The 32-year-old Miller, a former North Carolina standout, and the 23-year-old Kan, who starred collegiately at Purdue, teamed up in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship earlier this year at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C., earning a spot in the match-play bracket before falling in the first round.
   Miller, who captured the Pennsylvania Women’s Amateur crown for the second time in three years this summer at West Shore Country Club, fired a 1-over-par 73 over the 6,183-yard, par-72 Sunrise Course. That total left her among a group of eight players tied for eighth in the individual scoring.
   But it is the team that matters the most in this event. Kan, playing in her 11th USGA event, teamed with former Radnor High standout Brynn Walker, a sophomore at North Carolina, and former Penn State standout Ellen Ceresko to give Pennsylvania a third-place finish in the 2015 USGA Women’s State Team Championship at Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
   The USGA has decided to discontinue the event after this year, which is a shame. With players on college rosters not allowed to play, the state teams are an eclectic mix of junior phenoms, recent college graduates and veteran mid-amateurs and senior amateurs.
   Kan carded a 78 Tuesday, which, combined with Miller’s 73 gave Pennsylvania a 7-over 151 total.
The third member of Team Pennsylvania is former Penn State standout Katrin Wolfe, who is in charge of athletics compliance at Pitt-Johnstown. The 35-year-old Wolfe finished just behind Miller in third in the 2001 PIAA Championship as a high school standout at Westmont-Hilltop. Wolfe, who fell to Miller in the semifinals of the state Women’s Amateur at West Shore this summer, carded an opening-round 85, which the Keystone State squad was able to toss.
   Leading the way after Day 1 of the three-day event was New York as Ina Kim, a 34-year-old former collegiate standout at Northwestern, and New York Women’s Amateur champion Marianna Monaco of Yonkers each carded a 1-under 71 to give the Empire State a 2-under 142 total.
   Kim, who returned to competitive golf last year after establishing her career in finance, and Monaco are tied for third in the individual standings.
   Arizona is in second place at 1-over 145 as Thuhashini Selvaratnam, the 2006 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur runnerup, matched par with a 72 and junior standout Ashley Menne of Surprise, Ariz. carded a 1-over 73.
   Each of Florida’s three players carded a 1-over 73, whether it was a 13-year-old phenom Alexa Pano or 39-year-old Meghan Stasi, the four-time U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur and eight-time Philadelphia Women’s Amateur champion or 44-year-old Tara Joy-Connelly, a dominant amateur player in Massachusetts before relocating to Palm Beach Gardens.
   That left the Sunshine State tied with two other states for third at 1-over 146.  Pano, Stasi and Joy-Connelly are part of that group tied for eighth in the individual standings.
   Riley Rennell, a 19-year-old who bypassed college golf to pursue professional golf, but has not yet pulled the trigger, has the individual lead with a 4-under 68 that helped Tennessee join Florida in the group tied for third at 2-over 146. Junior standout Ashley Gilliam added a 78 for Tennessee.
   North Carolina rounded out the trio of teams tied for third at 2-over 146. Sarah Bae, who wrapped up her collegiate career at North Carolina State last spring, matched par with a 72 and Courtney McKim, a member of Alabama’s 2013 NCAA championship team, carded a 2-over 74.
   Delaware, the youngest team in the field with three Wilmington scholastic standouts representing the First State, is tied for 14th with Michigan at 8-over 152.
   Delaware was led by 15-year-old Phoebe Brinker, who fired an even-par 72. Brinker, who plays at Archmere Academy, finished tied for 21st in the Girls Junior PGA Championship at The Country Club of St. Albans in St. Albans, Mo. this summer. Brinker is tied with North Carolina’s Bae and Arizona’s Selvaratnam for fifth in the individual scoring.
   Jennifer Cleary, a 16-year-old who plays at Tower Hill, carded an 80. Cleary had an outstanding summer, finishing tied for 65th in the Girls Junior PGA Championship and just missing match play in the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship at Boone Valley Golf Club in Augusta, Mo.
   Esther Park, a 16-year-old who plays at The Charter Wilmington Academy, added an 82. Park defeated Brinker in a playoff for the Delaware scholastic title last spring.
   New Jersey is a shot behind Delaware and Michigan in 16th at 9-over 153.
   The Garden State was led by Kelly Sim, a senior at the Academy of the Holy Angels in North Jersey who has committed to Northwestern, with a 76 and Tara Fleming, a 50-year old from Jersey City, with a 77. Fleming is coming off a run to the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship at Waverly Country Club in Portland, Ore. earlier this month.
