OMAHA, Neb. – The 2019 two-day Kansas-Nebraska Junior Cup Matches got underway Wednesday at Omaha Country Club, but no team took the lead in the match for the Junior Cup as both teams are tied at 4-4 after the opening day of competition.

Action concludes Thursday with 8 singles matches at Omaha County Club.

Kansas needs to win four matches and tie one to win back the Cup.

The event annually pits the best juniors from each state in Four-Ball, Foursome and Singles matches.  This is the 34th year of this prestige event. Last year Nebraska put an end to Kansas’ seven consecutive victories, winning 10-6, but Kansas still leads the series 19-14.
