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.

The Junior Tour of Northern California got off to a brilliant start, but there’s still another day to go.

The JTNC took a commanding 9-3 over the Southern California Junior Tour on opening day of the 2018 Cup, running the table in both Foursome and Four-Ball on a rainy Wednesday at par-71 Poppy Hills Golf Course in Pebble Beach.

In the morning Four-Ball matches, the JTNC got wins from Kiran Sangha/Mika Jin, Sebastian Iqbal/Ethan Chung, Justin Gums/Sam Sommerhauser and George McNeely/Brian Stark. The SCJT got a win from the tandem of Guy Clauss/Tyler Schafer.

In the afternoon matches, the JTNC again racked up four points, getting a win from the tandem of Sabrina Iqbal and Yealimi Noh. Iqbal is the all-time leader in JTNC wins with 25.

For the players, the Cup is 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,” Jin said. “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 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.

Last year, the JTNC evened the series at one win apiece following a 15-9 victory.

Grauman, who hails from Alamo, did his best to keep up, carding a front-nine 33 to stay within two of the leader.

16-18After making the turn, Grauman tied Stark following a birdie on the par-3 12th. But Stark went on to regain a one-stroke lead following a birdie on the 15th. Grauman lost another stroke following a bogey on the par-4 16th. The pair would both play the final two holes at even-par, leaving Grauman with a 69 and three-round score of 210.

She’d close the door or her pursuers, however, by bouncing back with a 1-under 35 on the back-nine thanks to back-to-back birdies on holes No.16 and No.17.

Among those trying to catch Noh was two-time defending champion Sabrina Iqbal of San Jose. Iqabl had a 73 to come in at 149, tying for second with Quynn Duong of San Jose and Caris Kim of Los Altos.
