Abigail Rigsby of Courtenay captured the BC Juvenile Girls golf championship today (Aug. 20) at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club in Vernon.
A sparkling final round of six-under 65 on Thursday gave her a three-shot win over second-round leader Hannah Lee of Surrey, who shot a one-over 72 on Thursday to finish at 210. Rigsby, who golfs at Crown Isle, trailed Lee by four strokes going into the final round but fired a bogey-free round that included six birdies (four on the back nine) to take the victory. Rigsby went 72-70-65 while Lee carded rounds of 68-70-72.
