Players to watch
Anna Heck of Memphis, Tennessee (2023)
After winning The Scotty
, a junior four-ball championship hosted by Scott Stallings, with sister Rachel as her partner, Anna Heck is looking to carry the momentum of winning Tennessee's only junior four-ball tournament into her fifth AJGA appearance this summer. Anna joins her two older sisters, Abigail and Rachel, as the third member of their family to compete at Furman. With Rachel heading to Stanford later this month and Abigail enrolled at Notre Dame, 16-year-old Anna is following in their footsteps looking for her first Open Tournament win as she wraps up her second year of national junior golf. Anna won medalist honors at the 2019 AJGA Preview at Bentwater (Ages 12-15).
Both Abigail and Rachel competed together in the AJGA Girls Championship in 2015 and Rachel also played in 2016 where she finished T2.
