Challenge Cup

Live Scoring

January 4, 2018

The Junior Tour of Northern California rolled to a win to take the lead in the annual Challenge Cup.

The JTNC claimed a dominating 17-7 victory over the Southern California Junior Tour, closing out play in the two-day event at Poppy Hills Golf Course with an 8-4 win in Singles play. Winning their matches for the JTNC were Justin Gums, Carlos Arieta Winsett, Sam Sommerhauser, Ethan Chung, George McNeely, Yealimi Noh and Sabrina Iqbal. Getting halves were Sebastian Iqbal and Caleb Shetler.

Winning in Singles for the SCJT were Ray Navis, Jasmine Lew and Amari Avery. The JTNC took a commanding 9-3 over the SCJT on opening day, running the table in both Foursome and Four-Ball.

For the players, the Cup is unique in that it’s a chance to compete as a team, and not as individuals.

“I like that it’s a team format. Everything else I play in is an individual tournament so it’s a new experience,” said Mika Jin. “It’s fun too to get to meet the players from SoCal. It’s fun to compare your games.”

Now in its third year, the Cup too has become a hot spot for collegiate coaches looking to scout available players. Among the programs out in the rain watching first round action were University of Oregon, Stanford, Oklahoma State, North Carolina and Illinois.

The JTNC now leads in the series, 2-1.

Now in its third year, the Cup has become a hot spot for collegiate coaches looking to scout available players. Among the programs out in the rain watching first round action were University of Oregon, Stanford, Oklahoma State, North Carolina and Illinois.
