 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 24, 2015) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2015 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Sunday at the Fall Series II Championship at Cypress Lakes Golf Club in Vacaville.

Grauman put together two terrific rounds to win by three over Ahmed Ali of Palo Alto.

In Saturday’s first round, he’d take a three-shot lead over the field after posting a 71 that included four birdies and three bogeys.

A day later, Grauman continued to shine, shooting an even-par 72 that featured five birdies and five bogeys.

Ali, who competed in this year’s inaugural U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship at The Olympic Club, tried to make a charge but was unable to catch Grauman. A day after posting a 76, Ali fired a tourney-low 70 by carding three birdies to go against just one bogey.

Finishing in a tie for third at 147 were Kyle Wilkinson of San Francisco and Joshua McCarthy of Danville.

Both Wilkinson and McCarthy put together rounds of 74-73. The 2014 JTNC Player of the Year, McCarthy was coming off a second place finish at the recent Fall Series I Championship.

Taking fifth place in the Boys’ Championship at 148 was San Jose’s Berk Harvey, who shot identical rounds of 74.

Kim also ran away from the field to take the title.

In Sunday’s finale, Kim, a senior at Dougherty Valley High, broke away from not only Sangha but everyone else. She’d post a solid 1-under 71 featuring two birdies and just one bogey.

Sangha, meanwhile, had a 76 to come in second at 150.
