 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (April 25, 2018) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2017-2018 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Sunday at the Spring Series IV Championship at Franklin Canyon Golf Course in Hercules.

Olympic Club member Anthony Alioto shot 2-over 146 and E-Club East Bay member Mika Jin shot 1-under 143 to win their respective divisions at the Spring Series IV Championship held Saturday and Sunday at par-72 Franklin Canyon Golf Course.
