The first two days of the U.S. Girls' Junior have featured plenty of low scores, but no one went deeper than 16-year-old Clairey Lin.
The Canadian won medalist honors at Old Chatham in Durham, North Carolina, finishing at 13-under 131 following two rounds of stroke play. Her total score was one shot off the championship record and tied four others for the second-lowest stroke-play score in championship history. Taylor Karle shot 130 in 2005 at BanBury Golf Club in Eagle, Idaho.
Lin will head into match play, which begins Wednesday, as the No. 1 seed.
"I love everything about this tournament," Lin said. "I think the USGA does an amazing job with every tournament that they run, and this one is just no different. I love coming here every year and to play as well as I did these first two days, it's a huge honor. It's been great."
