 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (April 10, 2017) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2016-2017 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Sunday at the Spring Series III Championship at Paso Robles Golf Club in Paso Robles

Griggs got his second win of the season in dramatic fashion, making a birdie in a sudden-death playoff to defeat runner-up Jackson Lake.  Also the winner of the Fall Series IX Championship, Griggs had a huge comeback to win the title.

A day after opening with a 75, Griggs caught fire, posting an eagle (par-5 12th) to go along with four birdies—three of which came down the stretch on holes No.15 through No.17. He’d add a par on the 18th to finish regulation tied with Lake.

Lake was steady on both days, carding back-to-back rounds of 71. In both rounds, he’d split his scoring, carding four birdies to go against four bogeys.

Nearly joining the playoff was Carmichael’s Chase Sienkiewicz, who came in at 143 following a 71. Sienkiewicz also birdied No.15 and No.16 but stumbled with a bogey on the 17th.  A par on 18 left him a shot back.

Fourth place went to Corte Madera’s Ian Gilligan at 144, while Owen Avrit of Arroyo Grande and Danville’s Jared Khoo shared fifth place at 145.

Malate, who was the first round leader after a 74, fell back to a 77 to come in at 151.

Three players—Danielle Suh of San Ramon, Angela Liu of San Jose and Katelyn Vo of San Jose—all finished tied for third at 154. Vo would be awarded third place following a card-off.
