Meredith Finger '26 Wins 2024 Delaware Junior Golf Championship
Meredith Finger '26 claimed the 41st Junior Girls’ title of the Delaware Junior Championships by two shots after a final round of 73 at the St. Anne’s Golf Links in Middletown, DE on July 24. Meredith last won that title in 2022 at the Chesapeake Bay Golf Club.
The two-day tournament is open to junior girls and boys who have a GHIN number hosted through a GAP member club and are 13-19 years of age, as long as they have not started their college career. The format includes 36-holes of individual stroke play. All competitors played 18 holes on day one and day two.
GAP Golf quotes Meredith after the win, saying, “Winning this tournament means a lot to me,” Finger, 16, of Wilmington, Del., said. “I’ve worked so hard the last couple of years to get where I am today in golf. None of this is possible without the support of my family and friends. It’s nice to hoist this nice trophy again.”
They went on to add, "She played her back nine in 4 over but rallied with two pars to close out the round. Finger and Reagan Garnsey, the defending champion and a close friend of Finger’s, have dominated this event the last four years. They’ve taken turns each year since 2021 with Garnsey taking the odd years and Finger taking the even years."
