McArthur Towel & Sports Future Legends
"I birdied Nos. 3, 4 and 5, which was good because I bogeyed the first hole," said Emily Tubert of Burbank, Calif., after an even-par 70. 'I made a really good putt on No. 4 and made a decent putt on No. 5. Those three holes got me to 2-under so that was good for my momentum."
"On No. 4, I made a six-footer for par and that put me at 2-under," said Jonathan Garrick of Atherton, Calif., champion of the McArthur Towel & Sports Future Legends with a tournament-total 8-under-par 212. "The next hole I hit a pitching wedge to about 30 feet and made the putt. After that I birdied the par-5 and made a few solid putts coming in."
AJGA New Jersey Junior
Basically, I did
everything I was supposed to do, said Peter Kim of Metuchen, N.J., after
capturing victory with a final-round 4-under-par 67. I hit a lot of greens,
made a lot of putts and had my irons going.
"It feels great to win, Kim said. I just can't explain it because I worked so hard for this. I practiced so many hours and it just feels so great.
My whole round was good in general, said Lauren Kim of Los Altos, Calif., who took home the trophy with a final-round 3-under-par 68. I only had one bogey. That's never happened before, so that was my highlight.

I hit the fairway, which was the key out here, said John Russo of Alpharetta, Ga., whose 3-under-par 68 helped him to a fifth place finish. I thought I was dead after No. 10, but after No. 13 when I used my 4-iron to make birdie I knew I was going to go low. I hit two 20-footers and made a birdie from a fairway bunker which was huge.
I am really excited to have broken 200, said Emma Talley, of Princeton, Ky., who broke two AJGA records and took home the title. I was hitting the ball really well, making a lot of putts left and right. I was really close on all of my birdie shots. I dont really know how I was hitting those approach shots so well; I think that God was with me because some of those were miracle shots. I havent played that well recently, like at Rolex, but to have this win especially with U.S. Juniors, Canon Cup and my other events this summer my confidence is high. Hopefully I can keep this up for the next few weeks.

This is my first time winning the Scotty Cameron, said local player Nick Tremps of San Antonio after carding a 2-under-par 71. When I saw it on the first tee, I said that I wanted that.
I was proud of my putting, said Girls Division champion Marijosse Navarro of San Antonio. It was good all three rounds and helped me a lot. The greens here allowed me to putt very well. I felt comfortable putting out there.
Aldila Junior All-Star
"Today was not my best round, but I scrambled well in tough situations," said Girls Division champion Katelyn Reynolds of Los Angeles. "It was a tough day mentally and physically with the heat, but I remained consistent and got a win."
"I kept consistent today, all aspects of my game combined to give me a good round," said Christopher Tuulik of San Diego, Calif., after a 2-under-par 70 and third-place finish. "I had an eagle on No. 4 that helped balance out my two bogeys on Nos. 1 and 2."
