HONORS AT HORSESHOE BAY Blackerby claims medalist honors in Girls Division
HORSESHOE BAY, Texas-Bryan Baker of Whitehouse,
Texas, fired a 3-under-par 69 to claim medalist honors
in the Boys Division of the AJGA Chrysler Junior Classic
Qualifer at the Horseshoe Bay Resort's Slick Rock Course.
Camille Blackerby of Breckenridge, Texas, shot an even-par
72 to lead the Girls Division
The 18-hole qualifier, conducted by the American Junior
Golf Association, included 99 players representing Texas,
California, Oklahoma and Switzerland. Twelve spots were
on the line in the Boys Division and three spots in
the Girls Division for entry into the AJGA Chrysler
Junior Classic to be held July 10-12 at Horseshoe Bay
Resort's Slick Rock Course.
The 16-year-old Baker carded five birdies on his way
to a 34-35--69, including back-to-back birdies on Nos.
3 and 4. Baker stuck a sand wedge within eight feet
of the hole and drained the birdie putt on the 394-yard,
par-4 fourth hole and then birdied No. 9 to move him
to 2-under-par for his round.
"I hit the ball well today and made a lot of putts,"
Baker said. "I had some confidence coming into
today and the birdie on my first hole really helped
calm me down."
Also qualifying in the Boys Division were Kevin Newman
of League City, Texas, with a 34-36--70, Tom Nied of
Duncanville, Texas, Mike Goldwater of Austin, Texas,
Rick Szirbik of Kingwood, Texas, and Raymond Cox of
San Antonio, Texas, with 71s. Filling the final spots
for the boys at even-par 72 were Zachary Reeves of Arlington,
Texas, Nathan Pillar of Duncanville, Texas, Hunter Payne
of Lubbock, Texas, Matt Burke of Mansfield, Texas, Marc
Campbell of Southlake, Texas, and Nathan Virdell of
Llano, Texas.
In the Girls Division, Blackerby shot an even-par 72
to take medalist honors and earn entry into the tournament
field.
"I hit my short irons well today, which gave me
a lot of short putts," Blackerby said. "I
qualified here last year, but didn't play well in the
tournament. Hopefully things will be different this
year."
The 16-year-old birdied Nos. 2 and 7 to get back to
even-par after bogeys on Nos. 2 and 6. Blackerby was
able to capatalize on her short game and distance herself
from the pack on Nos. 14 and 16, hitting a pair of wedges
inside of 10 feet and sinking both birdie putts.
Also qualifying in the Girls Division were Mayumi Kobayashi
of Santa Monica, Calif., with a 75 and Stephanie Godare
of Houston, Texas, with a 76.
