 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (October 9, 2017) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2017-2018 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Sunday at the Fall Series VII Championship at Rancho Murieta Country Club in Rancho Murieta.

Sommerhauser notched his first win of the 2017-2018 season thanks to solid play both days. In Saturday’s first round, Sommerhauser was the epitome of steady, carding a birdie and 17 pars for a 71. In Sunday’s finale, he’d post three birdies and three bogeys for a 72 to hold off co-runner-ups Justin Gums of Lodi and George McNeely of Carmel by a stroke.

Gums, who had a second round 73, earned second place after a card-off. He had a chance to catch Sommerhauser but played his back-nine at 2-over. McNeely, meanwhile, was stung by a pair of double-bogeys on the back-nine.

Fourth place went to Baron Szeto of Moraga at 148 after a 75. Darren Pang of San Ramon and Ryan Meyer of Oakdale finished T-5 at 152.

A late birdie on Sunday on the 17th hole gave her two straight rounds of 73, enabling her to defeat runner-up Jacqueline Ha of San Ramon by four shots. Ha, who opened with a 74, posted a second round 76.

Third place went to Sienna Lyford of Roseville at 151 following a 76.

Andrea Gomez of Santa Clara was fourth at 153, while San Jose’s Isabelle Castro was fifth at 154.
