HARGRAY JUNIOR CLASSIC AT INDIGO
RUN
Golden Bear Golf Club
Hilton Head Island, S.C.
June 26-29, 2001
HAGE SHOOTS CAREER-BEST FOR FIRST-ROUND
LEAD
Lewis fires 5-under-par 67 to lead Boys Division
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - When Nicole Hage
of Coral Springs, Fla., dropped her 10-foot putt on
No. 18 her reaction was more than just the first-round
lead in the Girls Division of the AJGA Hargray Junior
Classic at Indigo Run. Hage shot a career-best 5-under-par
67 to take a four-stroke lead after the first-round.
Rhett Lewis of Douglas, Ga., carded a 5-under-par 67
to lead the Boys Division.
The 54-hole event, conducted by the American Junior
Golf Association, at the Golden Bear Golf Club, features
84 players, ages 13-18, representing 19 states. Fifteen
juniors from South Carolina and four Polo Golf Junior
All-Americans are included in the field.
Hage carded nines of 34-33 for the first-round lead.
"I couldn't believe that was me out there playing,"
the emotional Hage said. "I've never shot a 67,
my best was a 69. Before my round, a friend told me
to shoot a 66 and I didn't think I would come close.
"There are still 36 holes to be played,"
Hage, 15, said. "You can't be too extreme until
that last putt drops on Friday, then you can watch my
reaction."
Chasing Hage is Lisa Tyler of Lighthouse Point, Fla.,
with a 71 and Ashley Hoagland of Palmetto, Fla., with
an even-par 72.
In the Boys Division, the 17-year-old Lewis hit 16
greens in regulation and carded six birdies, including
birdies on three of his first five holes, en route to
his first-round lead.
"Today I was hitting the ball well and putting
great," Lewis said. "If I continue to putt
like I did today, I will do well in the tournament."
Lewis, who is playing in his third AJGA event, knew
he was at the top of his game after No. 14.
"I hit a 6-iron within three or four feet of the
hole," Lewis said. "I knew I would be fine
if I stayed consistent."
Tied for second place with 3-under-par 69s is Colin
Floyd of Loris, S.C., Bill Roach, Jr. of Knoxville,
Tenn., Chris Robinson of Memphis, Tenn., Brian Duncan
of Greenville, S.C., Joel Gibbons of Ocala, Fla., and
Luke List of Riggold, Ga.
Second-round action begins Thursday at Golden Bear
Golf Club, with tee times running from 8:00-9:57 off
No. 1 and No. 10 tees.
