This grand event is currently being held at the stunning Pinehurst Resort and Country Club, where dreams are made on the greens.

Meet the Competitors

Representing Wyoming in this prestigious tournament are a couple of shining stars: Jordyn Horsley, the 2024 Class 4A state champion and a recent graduate of Star Valley High School, and Tazlyn Wagner, the Class 2A state champion who has just completed her freshman year at Kemmerer High School. Both players have worked incredibly hard to earn their spots at this national stage, and the competition kicked off for the ladies on Monday, July 14, and will continue until Wednesday, July 16.

The tournament features a challenging format consisting of 54 holes, played across three of Pinehurst’s renowned courses: No. 1, No. 6, and No. 7. With breathtaking landscapes and top-notch facilities, it’s no wonder golfers from across the country gather to compete here.

Tazlyn Wagner Shows Promise

Starting strong, Tazlyn Wagner opened her tournament with a solid performance, posting a score of 75, which placed her tied for 25th position overall. This was an impressive start for the young golfer, who is still in her formative years at Kemmerer High School. Her second round score was a challenging 76, bringing her total to 151 after two rounds, resulting in a tie for 34th place.

But Tazlyn wasn’t done yet! In her final round, she played with great determination, finishing with a score of 1-over par, which helped her move up three spots to finish in 31st place out of a total of 202 competitors. Her overall score of 8-over par demonstrates not only her talent but also the grit and tenacity every golfer needs in high-pressure situations.

Jordyn Horsley Faces Challenges

On the other hand, Jordyn Horsley faced a tougher battle throughout the tournament. Unfortunately, her opening round was one that didn’t go as planned. She struggled with a score of 86, putting her in a tie for 123rd place after Day 1. Despite the challenges presented to her, Horsley pushed through to maintain her composure.

In the second round, she again faced difficulties, shooting another score of 86, which brought her total to 172 and left her tied for 131st place in the expansive field of golfers. Even though this may not have been the tournament she had envisioned, her dedication and hard work are commendable.
