CIG-Sponsored Junior Golf Tour of Northern California Crowns Winners at Summer Series II Championship at Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore

 PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (June 14, 2019) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2018-2019 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Thursday at the Summer Series II Championship at Poppy Ridge Golf Course.

Caleb Shetler shot 6-over 138 and defeated Dylan McDermott in a playoff and Sophie Thai shot even-par 148 to win their respective divisions at the Summer Series II Championship held Wednesday and Thursday at par-72 Poppy Ridge Golf Course.

With their wins, both Shetler and Thai earned spots into this year’s PGA Junior Championship (July 30-August 2) and PGA Girls’ Junior Championship (July 9-12), both to be held at Keney Park GC in Connecticut.
