NEVADA, MO – When it comes to golf, there really isn’t much Emree Cameron can’t do. The next stop for the Nevada senior is the U.S. Girls Junior Golf Championship.

Picking up the sport at the age of six, Emree began competing at just seven years old. The division one Louisville commit said it’s her younger brother that drives her success.

“I was in the spotlight for awhile, and now he’s playing baseball and it’s his turn,” said Emree.

“I love it, and I want to show him that he can go be successful, and can play his sport long term.”

With Nevada now home, golf takes the Cameron’s from coast to coast.

No matter where Emree goes however, her father, is with her every step of the way. The longtime golfer and former caddie, said he couldn’t be more proud of his daughter.

“It’s hard to put into words how proud I am,” said Eric Cameron.

“When I think about it, it almost brings me to tears, and it just speaks for itself.”

In 2024, Emree is a division one golf commit, and her school’s first ever state champion for girl’s golf. Despite the accolades, Emree would emphasize that her father and family would always be the most important over the course of her career.

“My dad is my number one supporter, and so is everyone in my family,” Emree said.

“I don’t think I would be where I am, and have the mental state with golf right now if it wasn’t for my dad.”

In addition to competing in the U.S. Girls Golf Championship, Cameron will also play in the Junior PGA Championship in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Junior Golf Championships will take place at El Caballero Country Club in California on Monday, July 15th through Saturday, July 20th. The Junior PGA Championship will take place from July 30th through August 2nd.
