WAGR COUNTING EVENT

The World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR), which comprises a women’s ranking and a men’s ranking for elite amateur players, is offered by The R&A and the USGA as a global service to golf. WAGR is updated every Wednesday on www.wagr.com and is available to national federations and organizers of amateur and professional events and tours for purposes of offering exemptions, selecting national teams and assembling Orders of Merit. WAGR currently incorporates over 4,000 events with over 10,000 players and endeavors to be the most comprehensive and accurate ranking in golf by effectively comparing players from around the world who may never directly compete against one another.

2018 Championship Highlights

Competing in her first Massachusetts Women’s Amateur final match since her runner up finish in 2015, Norton’s Shannon Johnson made birdie on the first hole of the final match and never looked back, defeating two-time champion Claire Sheldon, 3 & 2, at George Wright Golf Club Thursday afternoon.
