Four juniors from around the country have been chosen as winners of the Youth Poster Design Contest for the 81st U.S. Women’s Open Presented by Ally at Riviera Country Club, which will be contested June 4-7.  

“Now in its sixth year, the junior poster contest is one of our favorite championship traditions and a great way to engage kids and grow the game of golf,” said Allison Burns, senior director, U.S. Women’s Open. “We’re thrilled that this year’s winning group includes two members of the Pacific Palisades community, and we can’t wait to share all four pieces of artwork on-site during championship week.” 

The winners’ designs will be printed and distributed to juniors who attend the U.S. Women’s Open and will be available at a variety of special events leading up to championship week. In addition, winning designs will be uniquely featured on-site at Riviera Country Club. 

The winners are as follows:  

• Coco Terashima, 12, of Pacific Palisades, Calif.  –  “I’m very honored to have been selected for this contest in the year of Riviera Country Club’s centennial. I created an image of the first tee to capture the excitement of the U.S. Women's Open and the passion of all the female players. The first tee is one of the signature holes at Riviera C.C., where exciting drama has always unfolded. I look forward to seeing new history made at Riviera in June.” 

• Kai Terashima, 11, of Pacific Palisades, Calif.  – “This award means a lot to me because I’m especially excited about the U.S. Women's Open taking place at Riviera Country Club. The clubhouse represents Riviera’s history and identity, which is why I chose to draw it. As a Southern California Golf Association junior player, I understand how challenging it is for female players to compete in the U.S. Women’s Open. I wish all the players the best of luck and look forward to an exciting tournament.” 

• Indie-Reign Dornan, 12, Laguna Beach, Calif. – "My inspiration came from wanting to show how fun women's golf can be. I used bright colors to make it feel exciting and powerful. Winning this contest makes me really happy and proud, and it inspires me to keep creating.”          

• Violet Mun, 13, Laguna Niguel, Calif. – “My inspiration comes from my love of golf and art. I am grateful for the poster contest because I can share my two favorite things.”
