Summer Series I – Reserve at Spanos Park

CIG-Sponsored Junior Golf Tour of Northern California Crowns Winners at Summer Series I Championship at Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton

 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (June 10, 2019) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2018-2019 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Sunday at the Summer Series I Championship at Rooster Run Golf Club.

Ryan Nelson shot 3-over 147 and Madelyn Gamble shot 4-over 148 to win their respective divisions at the Summer Series I Championship held Saturday and Sunday at par-72 Reserve at Spanos Park.

Boys Championship winner Ryan Nelson

Nelson notched his first win of the 2018-2019 season thanks to a stellar second round 68 featuring six birdies and just two bogeys. The late charge, which included three birdies within his first four holes, was enough to hold off runner-up Curtis Dasilva by a stroke. In Saturday’s first round, Nelson had opened with a shaky 79.

Dasilva had opened with a solid 72 featuring five birdies and five bogeys. On Sunday, he’d still be in the hunt until a closing double-bogey on the 18th.

Chase Markarian and William Walsh finished T-3 at 149 after rounds of 74 and 73, respectively. Markarian earned third in a card-off. Fifth place went to Reese Sato at 150.

In the Girls’ Championship, Gamble picked up her third win of the season after defeating Danielle Suh on the second hole of a playoff.

Gamble, who played in last year’s U.S. Girls’ Junior at Poppy Hills, had a 1-under 35 on the back-nine on Sunday. Suh had five birdies in regulation on Sunday to get into the playoff. Gamble and Suh shot rounds of 78 and 76, respectively, in Saturday’s opening round.
