Nebraska Finishes Tied for Second at 56th Girls' Four-State
Nebraska finished tied for runner-up honors with Kansas Tuesday at the 56th Girls' Four-State Matches, two and a half points behind Missouri. After trailing by a single point following Four-Ball and Foursomes matches Monday, Nebraska managed only two points in Singles matches out of a possible six. Isabella Elgert of Lincoln won her match against Hannah Pettitt of Iowa 3 & 2, while Naryn Kim, Lincoln and Olivia Lovegrove, Lincoln both tied their matches. Missouri claimed their first Four-State win since 2018 when the event was a team stroke play competition. To view complete results link to the scoring tab above. The Girls' Four-State Matches, conducted annually, consist of Four-Ball, Foursomes and Singles matches, all worth a single point. Since making the transition to a team match play format in 2019, Nebraska has won three times (2019, 2021 & 2022), Kansas twice (2020 and 2023) and Missouri once (2024). Members of Team Nebraska included Elgert, Kim, Lovegrove, Julia Karmazin of Elkhorn, Eden Larson of Lincoln and Madison Murnan of Omaha.
FORMAT
The Girls' Four-State Matches are a team match play competition between the top 6 girls from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Prior to the event, each team assigns their players to a 1-6 position. They then compete in each match play session based on that numeric assignment with each golfer having the opportunity to play against each of the other teams and never with the same partner. The team match play sessions on day one consist of Four-Ball and Foursomes. Singles conclude the event on the final day. Each match is worth one point, if a match is tied each team receives a 1/2 point. The team that wins the most points wins the trophy.
FOUR-BALL MATCH PLAY
In Four-Ball Match Play, sides of two partners compete, with each player playing their own ball. A side’s score for a hole is the lower score of the two partners on that hole. A side wins a hole in the match by completing the hole in fewer strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes). The match is won when a side leads the opponent by more holes than remain to be played.
FOURSOMES MATCH PLAY
In Foursomes Match Play, two partners compete as a side by playing one ball in alternating order on each hole. A side wins a hole in the match by completing the hole in fewer strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes). The match is won when a side leads the opponent by more holes than remain to be played.
SINGLES MATCH PLAY
In Singles Match Play, a player plays directly against an opponent in a head-to-head match. A player wins a hole in the match by completing the hole in fewer strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes). The match is won when a player leads the opponent by more holes than remain to be played.
