SANTA ROSA – Shotaro Ban and Alexandra Wong captured the boys and girls NCGA Junior Tour Spring Series V titles at Oakmont.
Ban made it two in a row after winning the Boys’ Championship Flight last weekend at Poplar Creek. The San Jose player carded six birdies in the final round for a four-under-par 68 to finish at eight-under-par 136. Austin Roberts of Carmichael fired a bogey-free 67 to climb up the leaderboard and take second at five-under-par 139. Roberts was the 2008 California State Amateur runner-up and NCGA Junior Tour Player of the Year. Burlingame’s Dash Lindsell finished in third with a consistent pair of 70s, at four-under-par 140.
In the Girls’ Championship Flight, Alexandra Wong of San Francisco posted five birdies in the final round for a four-under-par 68. Wong finished at one-over-par 145 to claim the title by two strokes over the field. Christina Uhalde of Modesto began and ended the day in second place with a 72, to finish at three-over-par 147. Folsom’s Briana Mao and Asia Adell of Fresno tied for third at five-over-par 149.
Brendon Yu of Milpitas came from four-strokes behind to claim the Boys’ First Flight. Yu posted a final-round seven-over-par 70 to nab the title by one stroke over first-round leader Richard Ayala of Hillsbourgh and Pleasanton’s Ryan Knop who finished tied at 17-over-par 143. Ayala went on to win the first playoff hole to take second, while Knop finished in third.
In the Girls’ First Flight, overnight leader Kathleen Scavo of Benicia held on to win with a final-round 76. Scavo’s 16-over-par total was good enough to edge out runner-up Grace Park, who charged up the leaderboard with 71 to finish at 17-over-par 145. Janelle Reali of Livermore posted a pair of 73s to finish in third at 18-over-par 146.
The boys and girls Championship Flights competed on the par 72 West course, while the First Flights played on the East course – par 63 for boys and par 64 for girls.
The Junior Tour continues May 2-3 with the final event of the Spring Series at Poppy Hills.
