MISSOULA — Tuesday was a big day for a pair of Butte junior golfers.
Tricia Joyce is a state champion, while Hailey Hoagland is heading north of the border.
Joyce won the 13-and-under girls’ division at the Montana State Junior Championships. The two-day tournament , which was played at the Missoula Country Club, wrapped up Tuesday.
Joyce followed Monday’s 99 with a 97 for a 196 for the victory she made look easy. Skyler Martin of Shelby was second at 241.
Hoagland was one of two 17-year old girls to qualify for the Montana-Alberta Junior Ryder Cup, which is Aug. 11-13 in Lethbridge.
Hoagland placed fourth in the 16-17 age group. She followed Monday’s 82 with an 84. She missed qualifying for the Junior America’s Cub in Albuquerque, N.M., by two shots.
Hoagland was one of three Butte High All-State golfers in the 16-17 age group.
Shaelyn Hafer improved one stroke for an 83 Tuesday and a 167 overall, good for fifth place. Hailey Ogolin shot an 85 Tuesday for a 174.
Missoula’s Sadie Crippen had a big day on her home course, firing a final-round 75 to win the 16-17 group with a 157.
Butte’s Isaiah Weldon placed seventh in the boys’ 13-and-under group with a 180 after a final-round 95. Ryggs Johnston of Libby won that age group with a blistering 146.
