Jul 13, 2025 | Women's Golf
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis women's golfer Claire Swathwood is set to compete in the 76th USGA Girl's Junior Championship starting Monday, July 14th at the Atlanta Athletic Club Riverside Course.
"I'm super excited and ready for the US Girls Junior Championship," Swathwood said "I've been working really hard to prepare since USGA Championships are always the biggest test in golf. I feel like I have been putting the pieces of my game together and feel really confident with where I am at."
The par-71, 6,312-yard course was established in 1898 and has hosted five USGA championships since its relocation to Johns Creek in the 1960s, as well as the 1982 Junior World Cup and the 2017 Arnold Palmer Cup.
Admission to the championship is free and tickets are not required. Spectators are encouraged to attend.
"Myself, as well as my team, are very excited for Claire to be playing in the US Girl's Junior Championship next week," head women's golf coach Jennifer Jordan said. "She has such a good head on her shoulders, and I am very proud to have her on my team. There is a light shining on this program and I'm looking forward to the future!"
A starting field of 156 players will compete in the U.S. Girls' Junior. Following 18-hole rounds of stroke play on July 14 and 15, the field will be cut to the top 64 scorers for match play. A playoff, if necessary, will be conducted to get exactly 64 players in the draw. Five 18-hole rounds of match play will determine the finalists who will square off in the 36-hole championship match on Saturday, July 19.
