Highland’s Julia Stevenson, the 22-year-old Eastern Michigan University golfer shot 71-71 win the 29th GAM Women’s Championship at Muskegon Country Club by three shots.
Anika Dy, a University of Michigan golfer from Traverse City and the 2019 Michigan Women’s Open Champion, was runner up at 145.
It was Stevenson’s first win since starting to play golf as a freshman at Milford High School. She eventually earned a golf scholarship from EMU and played four years for the Eagles. She led in scoring average as a senior and had a career-best second-place finish.
“I’ve been playing these tournaments for years now and just to finally win one – it means a lot. The competition is so good out here and this is such a great environment to play in, and to finally get one feel’s amazing.”
