CIMARRON
Cimarron Golf Club
Cathedral City, Calif.
June 4-6, 2001
PUNTAWONG OUTLASTS BACA IN SUDDEN-DEATH
PLAYOFF TO WIN BOYS DIVISION
Jennie Lee takes home first career AJGA title in
Girls Division
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - Chanin Puntawong of Bradenton,
Fla., defeated Michael Baca of Fresno, Calif., on the
second hole of a sudden-death playoff Wednesday to claim
the title at the AJGA Compaq Junior All-Star Classic
at Cimarron. Jennie Lee of Huntington Beach, Calif.,
closed the tournament with a two-round total of 6-under-par
136 to win the Girls Division.
The event is one of seven Compaq/David Leadbetter Junior
All-Star Series events conducted by the American Junior
Golf Association in 2001. The Junior All-Star events,
created in 1998, are limited to players ages 13 to 15
in order to give younger AJGA members more playing opportunities.
The tournament at Cimarron Golf Club featured a total
of 73 boys and girls representing 17 states and Canada.
Competing in just his second AJGA event, the 14-year-old
Puntawong won his first title. He and Baca both stood
at 4-under-par heading into the final hole of regulation.
Both players drained birdie putts on the 18th hole to
finish the tournament at 5-under-par with totals of
137.
On the first playoff hole, a 170-yard par-3, Baca nailed
his tee shot to within 20 feet of the hole. Puntawong
chipped onto the green and saved par, forcing another
playoff hole after Baca two-putted. On the par-5 18th
hole, he sank his second putt to make birdie and claim
the title.
"With so many people watching, there was a lot
of pressure," Puntawong commented. "It was
a scary par-3. He was on the green, so there was definitely
a lot of pressure. But I'm perfectly confident in my
chipping."
Three golfers tied for third with identical scores.
Tim Cha of Chino Hills, Calif.; Kyung Min of Fullerton,
Calif.; and Kenny Kim of Cerritos, Calif., each carded
final-round 69s to wrap up the tournament at 3-under-par
139.
The 14-year-old Lee earned her first AJGA title with
a 6-under-par performance. Lee, who will be a freshman
at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., in
the fall, sank three consecutive birdies on holes 16,
17 and 18 to hang on to the lead she built after carding
an opening-round 65 Tuesday.
"I just tried to make par and then the birdies
came and I started sticking shots and making my putts,"
Lee said about her final-round performance.
Finishing second was Sommer Scholl of Riverside, Calif.,
at 2-under-par 140 after carding a final round 69 Wednesday.
Tiffany Joh of San Diego fired the low score of the
day in the Girls Division with a 68 to close the tournament
at even-par 142 and finish in third place.
