The 2006 Junior Ryder Cup
ended in a 6-6 tie as six boys and six girls from the
United States competed against juniors from Europe. The Junior Ryder Cup was played on September 18-19 at Celtic Manor
Resort in Newport, Wales.
The U.S. Team included
three juniors from Florida. Vicky Hurst, 16, of
Melbourne, the 2005 Florida Junior Girls Champion and
runner-up in this year's U.S. Girls Junior Championship,
went 2-0 for the U.S. Team. Paired with Isabelle Lendl
on the first day, the girls won their four-ball match 1
up. In the mixed four-ball matches on the final day,
Vicky and fellow Floridian Bud Cauley beat the European
team 3 and 2.
Isabelle Lendl, 15, of
Bradenton, the number five ranked junior girl in the
country, won her mixed four-ball match 3 and 1 to also go
undefeated in the Cup. Bud Cauley, 16, of Jacksonville,
a quarterfinalist in the U.S. Junior Amateur, went 1-1 for
his
two matches.
Cassandra Blaney, of
New York, who has competed in many Florida Junior Tour
(FJT) events, also represented the U.S. and halved the
18th hole in her final match to give the Americans the
tie. Blaney, 16, had five top ten finishes last season
in FJT events including a win last February.
