Chugg, a former Weber State golfer and the 2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, downed Berlin Long in a tight semifinal on Wednesday, while Anderson ousted 2018 champ Tess Blair of Sacramento State.
To win “one for the thumb” at the 116th Utah Women’s State Amateur, Salt Lake City associate golf director Kelsey Chugg will have to get through one of the standouts on the BYU women’s golf team.
Thursday’s 18-hole championship match at Ogden Golf & Country Club will feature Chugg, an Ogden native and a four-time winner of the event, against BYU rising sophomore Adeline Anderson.
