WALLACE NOTCHES SEVEN BIRDIES TO TAKE LEAD AT ABACOA
Fourteen-year-old Hetzel grabs lead in Girls Division
JUPITER, Fla. -- Adam Wallace of Ponte Vedra
Beach, Fla., carded seven birdies en route to a second-round,
5-under-par 67 and a two-shot lead heading into the
final round of the AJGA Henry-Griffitts Junior at Abacoa.
Mallory Hetzel of Summerville, S.C., shot a 73 to take
the lead in the Girls Division.
The 54-hole event, conducted by the American Junior
Golf Association, features 84 players representing 12
states and Japan. The 10th annual event is making its
debut at Abacoa Golf Club.
Wallace, who started on the back nine, got off to a
fast start with birdies on two of his first three holes.
After another birdie on the par-3, 159-yard 15th hole,
Wallace made the turn at 3-under-par 33 with another
birdie on No. 17. Wallace wasted no time on the front
nine, making up for a bogey on No. 18 with two more
birdies on Nos. 1 and 2. Wallace birdied No. 7 to move
to 3-under-par before a bogey on No. 8 gave him a 34
on the front nine and a two-day total of 72-67-139.
"My birdies on Nos. 1 and 2 really brought back
the momentum I had earlier in my round," the 17-year-old
Wallace said. "They really gave me the confidence
I needed down the stretch.
"I felt I got robbed on the greens yesterday,"
said Wallace, who has hit 32 of 36 greens the last two
days. "I couldn't make any putts, but today I was
able to convert. Tomorrow, I just need to go out and
not make any mistakes. I want to try and hit every green,
just like I've been doing."
Wallace, who finished sixth at the Joe Durant Southern
Junior, will be looking to bring home his first AJGA
title.
Joseph Sykora of Daphne, Ala., trails Wallace by two-shots
after carding a 2-under-par 70 to sit at 141. First-round
co-leader Robert Gates of Gainesville, Fla., is in third
at 70-72-142 while Chris Anderson of Lake Mary, Fla.,
and Joshua Flamm of Jacksonville, Fla., round out the
top five at 144 and 145 respectively.
In the Girls Division, the 14-year-old Hetzel, who
had 13 pars and two birdies in her round, played her
first five holes on the back nine in even-par fashion.
After a bogey on No. 15, she recovered with a birdie
on No. 17 to make the turn at even-par. After another
birdie on No. 2, Hetzel played her final seven holes
at 2-over-par to finish at 76-73-149 and stake claim
to a two-shot lead.
"I'm really starting to hit the ball well,"
Hetzel said. "It's been a while since I've hit
it this well. I didn't catch too many breaks out there
today, so hopefully tomorrow I can get some putts to
drop.
"I just need to go out there and play a normal
round of golf, not force things and be patient."
Hetzel, who is playing in only her second AJGA event,
will look for her second win in three weeks after winning
the South Carolina state tournament "The Blade"
two weeks ago.
First-round leader Yunny Cho of Bradenton, Fla., is
second at 73-78-151 while Theresa Paik of Silver Springs,
Md., sits in third at 74-78-152.
Final round tee times will run tomorrow from 7-9 a.m.
off the Nos. 1 and 10 tees.
