PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (December 30, 2020) – Sponsored by Capital Insurance Group, the 2020-2021 Junior Tour of Northern California (JTNC) crowned champions Wednesday at the Holiday Series III Championship at Del Monte Golf Course and Poppy Hills.

Dumdumaya earned his first win of the 2020-2021 season thanks in part to a solid first round 3-under 69 at Del Monte that included five birdies to go against just 2 bogeys.
A day later at Poppy Hills, Dumdumaya was steady, posting a 73 to edge runner-up Mitchell Hoey by a stroke. Hoey had a second round 69 at Hills that included three birdies and just one bogey. He had a chance to tie Dumdumaya but had to settle for a par on the closing par-5 18th.
Third place went to Ian Gilligan at 145 after a final round 73. Zachery Pollo took fourth place at 146.
Both Matthew Kress and Jack Jerse were T-5 at 147.
In the Girls’ Championship, Liu notched her third win of the season thanks to steady play each day. She’d card identical 73’s at both courses, good enough to hold off co-runners-up Faith Low and Michelle Woo by a shot. Helping Liu was two clutch birdies on Del Monte’s front-nine.
Low, who had a final round 76, earned second place in a card-off. Woo would place third.
Fourth place went to Saanvi Kotti at 149, with Emily Luo taking fifth place at 151.
