Elizabeth Rudisill and Carys Fennessy, two standout high school seniors, are making waves in the world of junior golf with impressive performances that landed them a spot in the LPGA FM Championship.

Elizabeth Rudisill, a Myers Park High School senior from Charlotte, N.C. committed to play collegiate golf at Vanderbilt University, recently showcased her exceptional talent at the FM Championship held at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. Elizabeth’s journey to this prestigious tournament began with a victory at the Rolex Girls Junior Championship in June, which earned her a coveted spot in the FM Championship field. Her accomplishments consist of a second-place finish at the Girls Junior PGA Championship, T10 at the Scott Robertson Memorial, T6 The Nelly Invitational and T%9 at the Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational. Adding to her remarkable achievements, Elizabeth has represented the United States at the PING Junior Solheim Cup in 2023 and is set to do so again in 2024, underlining her status as one of the top junior golfers in the nation.

Carys is committed to continuing her golf career at the College of Charleston, where she will undoubtedly bring her exceptional skills and competitive spirit to the collegiate level.
