The 2022 Junior Match Play Championship, for players under 18 and conducted by the West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA), took place Saturday at Parkersburg Country Club. Eight girls and 16 boys started the tournament in the morning; their biggest battle of the day was a three and a half hour weather delay in the morning.
While the field started with 24 players, Sunday’s boys’ semi-final matches are down to four players, while the girls championship is down to the final two players.
The boys’ semifinals will see:
7:30 a.m. Zan Hill of Daniels v Tanner Walls of Matheny; and
