There were 15 courses around the U.S. selected as regional qualifier sites. Boyce is one of 84 young women who earned a spot at the national tournament. Established in 1949, the U.S. Girls’ Junior tournament involves players from around the world. Golfers in the tournament must be under 18 and have a USGA Handicap Index that does not exceed 18.4.
