Finally, A Trophy at Pepsi Little People’s!
Finally, after 5 years of participating in the Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships in Quincy, IL one of the BirdieSisters, Erica Jackson, brought home a trophy. Pepsi Little People’s was the first major tournament in which Erica played at the age of 7. Erica’s two-day tournament became a one-day tournament after the course became unplayable due to massive rain falls leading up to and on day one of the tournament. With only 18 holes of play on day 2, Erica managed to pull out a second place finish at Arrowhead Golf Course.
Myah Jackson struggled a bit on day one after an hour rain delay on her course — Westview Golf Course in Quincy, IL. However, she dropped her score by 5 shots on day two and finished in 9th place. The temperatures in Quincy were in the mid-high 90s during our entire stay — making 36 holes of golf very tough for Myah Jackson, who just started playing 18 holes consistently this year.
Although the fields were much smaller this year, the competition was very steep — especially for Myah. Both Erica and Myah were in the bottom of their age divisions, girls 10-11 and girls 12-13. As always, Pepsi Little People’s brought together some of the best junior golfers from around the world. Thanks to Nan Ryan and her volunteers for a wonderful event and for the scholarship she provided to both Erica and Myah to help defray expenses from the tournament!
