PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (July 27, 2017) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2016-2017 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Wednesday at the Summer Series V Championship at Tahoe Donner Golf Course in Truckee.
Saratoga resident Caleb Shetler shot even-par 144 and Palo Alto resident Niav Layton shot 15-over 159 to win their respective divisions at the Summer Series V Championship held Tuesday and Wednesday at par-72 Tahoe Donner GC.
