PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 21, 2017) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2017-2018 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Sunday at the Fall Series I Championship at Cypress Lakes Golf Course in Vacaville.

Boys’ Championship winner Caleb Shetler, runner-up Sebastian Iqbal and third place finisher Ethan Chung (left to right)
Shetler notched the inaugural win of the new 2017-2018 season thanks in part to a solid opening round 71 that included four birdies. Shetler had closed the 2016-2017 season with a victory at the Summer Series V Championship.
In Sunday’s finale, Shetler went 2-over on the back-nine but he’d close with four straight clutch pars, giving him a one-shot edge over co-runners-up Sebastian Iqbal of San Jose and Ethan Chung of Cupertino.
Iqbal, who earned second place in a card-off, made a huge late charge, carding a 69 on Sunday. His round would feature five birdies to go against just two bogeys. Chun, who’d opened with a 71, had a chance to tie Shetler but bogeyed the 17th.
Fourth place went to Orinda’s Brendon Choe at 147 following a 70. Nathan Wang of Fremont finished fifth at 148 after a 74.
Girls’ Championship winner Sabrina Iqbal, runner-up Sienna Lyford and third place finisher Kiran Sangha (left to right)
In the Girls’ Championship, Iqbal, the reigning four-time Girls’ Player of the Year, picked up right where she left off. The Pioneer High senior had a final round 74 that included four straight clutch pars on holes No.15 through No.18 to hold off Sienna Lyford by a shot.
The win was Iqbal’s 26th career Northern California major, increasing her record. Lyford, of Roseville, had a chance to force extra holes but bogeyed the 18th. She’d finish at 152, posting back-to-back rounds of 76.
Third place went to Kiran Sangha of San Mateo at 153 following a 75. Stockton’s Anitra Khoth was fourth at 156, while Roseville’s Neeve Chen took fifth place at 157.
