AJGA CLUBCORP JUNIOR PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Homestead Resort, Lower Cascades Course
Hot Springs, Virginia
July 30-August 2, 2001
TWO FIRST-TIMERS WIN CLUBCORP JUNIOR
PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
Peffley runs away with Boys Division; Myers hangs
on in Girls Division
HOT SPRINGS, Va.-- Blaine Peffley appeared to be just
feeling the waters in the first round of the AJGA ClubCorp
Junior Players Championship, then ran away from the
field in the final two rounds to claim his first AJGA
title with a three-day total of 6-under-par 210. Whitney
Myers of East Berlin, Pa., drained a 6-foot par putt
on the 18th hole to hang on for a one-shot victory in
the Girls Division.
The ClubCorp Junior Players Championship, conducted
by the American Junior Golf Association, was played
at the tradition-rich Homestead Resort and featured
120 players from 20 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada.
Included in the field were 20 players from Virginia.
Peffley carded a 1-under-par 71 in the final round
to cruise to his first AJGA title. After sharing the
lead with four other players at 71 in the first round,
Peffley fired a 4-under-par 68 in the second round.
Coming in the final round with a five-shot lead, Peffley
didn't want to change a thing.
"I came into the round, trying to forget that
I had a five-shot lead," Peffley said. "I
wanted to be a competitor and play the way I am capable
of playing."
Peffley recorded seven birdies and seven pars en route
to his 1-under-par final round. The 17-year-old was
3-under-par through his first three holes and made the
turn in 33.
"I was playing well through the front nine,"
the Lebanon, Pa., native said. "I got into trouble
on the back and I started to get a little worried."
Peffley may have been a bit more worried than most
players. He finished second in the AJGA Sand Barrens
Junior Championship, but held a three-shot lead with
nine holes to play. He learned from that experience
this week.
"It feels pretty good to get a win after what
happened at Sand Barrens," Peffley added. "I
wasn't going to let it happen here."
Finishing four shots back was Brant Stovall of Lawsonville,
N.C., on rounds of 74-71-69--214. Hunter Bendall of
Richmond, Va., placed third with a three-day total of
77-72-67--216. David Dankmyer of Gibsonia, Pa., and
Garrett Pike of Sterling, Va., tied for fifth at 1-over-par
217.
In the Girls Division, Whitney Myers' crucial putt
on No. 18 clinched her first AJGA victory.
Myers watched as Katie Miller of Jeannette, Pa., nearly
holed a birdie chip from off the green on the final
hole, then calmly stepped up and drained a bending 6-footer
for the victory. After the round, Myers didn't know
she needed that putt to win as Miller finished one shot
back.
"I didn't realize that if I had missed that putt,
we'd be in a playoff," Myers said. "I really
needed that putt just for my confidence."
Myers struggled after firing rounds of 76-74 in the
first two rounds. She held a 4-shot advantage over Miller,
but had to sweat it out in the end. Nonetheless, the
15-year-old was pleased to get her first AJGA victory.
"It feels pretty good to get a win, especially
with the way I had been playing," Myers said. "Everything
was a struggle today. I was very inconsistent. I would
have one good hole, but then play a bad one."
Myers, however, rode her play in the first two rounds
to win her first AJGA title.
"I was very pleased with the way I played the
first two rounds," Myers added. "It put me
in a position to get the win, and this gives me a lot
of confidence heading into fall tournaments."
Miller was one shot back at 232 on rounds of 78-76-78.
Erica Battle of Columbia, S.C., was third with a three-day
total of 237 on rounds of 76-79-83.
