Academy Juniors finish well in San Diego


Nicholas Smits and Monica Matsubara have recorded top 10 finishes in their respective divisions at the San Diego Junior Masters.

Nick opened with a one-over par 73 in the Boys 15-18yr division, before firing up the leaderboard in round 2 when he got it to 3-under through the first 6 holes. A bogey on the final hole of the tournament cost Nick what could have been a runner-up finish. His 2nd round 72 placed him in a tie for 5th.

13yr old Monica continued her good form, shooting two very steady rounds of 74,75 to finish in a tie for 10th place in the Girls 13-14yr category. Both golfers will now make their way to the Callaway Junior World Championships after Monica won the qualifying tournament for Girls 2 weeks back. Nicholas has a very good record of achievement in the Junior World Championships, so expect to see his name up on the leaderboard.

Best of luck to our juniors at the World Championships!!
