The NCGA Junior Tour kicked off its second year with the Spring Series I tournament at Brookside CC.

March 15, 2009

Boys' champions Bryson Dechambeau and Matthew Hansen.

STOCKTON, CA – In windy conditions, the strongest players triumphed at the NCGA Junior Tour season opener at Brookside CC.

Bryson Dechambeau of Clovis fired a scorching three-under-par 69 in the final round to back-up his first round 71 and claim the NCGA Junior Tour Spring Series I.  “I was just trying to keep it in the fairway” commented Dechambeau – which was handy considering the four-inch long rough that lined the Brookside CC fairways.  The Clovis East HS player also won last year’s Junior Tour East Bay tournament at Poppy Ridge and admitted, “I’ve been working non-stop on my golf game” since last year.  Matthew Hansen of Los Osos secured second place with a final-round two-under-par 70, to finish at 143, while 2008 Tour Championship winner Kurt Kitayama of Chico took third with 73-73, 146.

Girls' champions Bonnie Hu, Casie Cathrea and Kortnie Maxoutopoulis.

Bonnie Hu of Fremont carded a final-round even-par 72 to claim victory in the Girls’ Championship Flight.  “I was very consistent,” commented Hu, who finished at two-over-par 146 for the tournament after a first-round 74 and secured the win by two strokes.  The Mission San Jose HS Junior also captured the NCGA Junior Tour Sacramento event last year.  Livermore’s Casie Cathrea posted a one-over-par 73 to finish at four-over-par 148 and claim second place while Kortnie Maxoutopoulis of Pleasanton finished in third at seven-over-par 151.

Ryan Han of Hollister captured the Boys’ First Flight with a final-round six-over-par 78.  Han finished at 161 for the tournament, which was good enough for a two stroke victory over second-place finisher Troy Maxoutopolous of Pleasanton. Jordan Taylor of Hercules posted an 83 to take third place.

In the Girls’ First Flight, overnight leader Kelly Shotwell of Pleasanton fired a 10-over-par 82 today to nab the title by seven strokes at 18-over-par 162.  Woodland’s Sara Scarlett posted an 81 to claim second place at 168, while San Francisco’s Kristi Wong finished in third with an 86, for a 169 total.

Jonathan Lin of Fremont and Sara Scarlett of Woodland captured the net competitions for boys and girls respectively, both carding net 142 total.

The 2009 season has brought some refinements to the NCGA Junior Tour.  Competition is no longer flighted by age group, rather, players compete in handicap divisions.  The Championship Flight is for players with a handicap index of 7.4 or less, while the First Flight is for players on 7.5 and above.

Brookside CC was a new site for the NCGA Junior Tour this year.  A total of four events have been added, making the 12-event schedule which concludes with the Tour Championship at Belmont Country Club in October.

In addition, members of the NCGA Foundation’s Youth on Course program receive a $15 discount on their entry fees.  The top finishers at the NCGA Junior Championship and the top players during the 2009 season will now receive exemptions into American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) events.

The NCGA Junior Tour Spring Series continues with the next stop at Stevinson Ranch GC, March 21-22.

Girls First Flight: Winner Kelly Shotwell and third-place Kristi Wong.
Boys First Flight: Third place winner Jordan Taylor and runner-up Troy Maxoutopoulis.
