AJGA LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES BOYS JUNIOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
Lakewood Country Club
Dallas, Texas
July 30 - August 3, 2001
RECORDS FALL AS ROSENFELD CRUISES
TO VICTORY AT AJGA LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES BOYS JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
2000 Polo Golf Junior Player of the Year sets AJGA
72-hole scoring record at 268
DALLAS - Matthew Rosenfeld of Plano, Texas,
showed why he is the reigning Polo Golf Junior Player
of the Year Friday, firing a final-round, 3-under-par
68 to win the AJGA Lucent Technologies Boys Junior Championship
by four strokes while scorching the course for a record-setting
72-hole total of 16-under-par 268.
The 72-hole event, conducted by the American Junior
Golf Association, was held at the par-71 Lakewood Country
Club. The field featured 132 players representing 28
states, Canada, Germany and Japan. Past champions include
Tiger Woods, David Duval, Jim Furyk and Ty Tryon. Sixty-six
players survived the 36-hole cut and played in the final
two rounds.
Rosenfeld, who tied the AJGA 18-hole record with an
8-under-par 63 in Thursday's third round, added another
chapter to the record book on Friday, breaking the all-time
AJGA 72-hole scoring record which was previously set
at 272.
Rosenfeld entered the day with a six-shot lead over
Benjamin Spitz of Norwell, Mass., Kevin Larsen of Santa
Barbara, Calif., and Anthony Kim of La Quinta, Calif.
He quickly picked up where he left off with birdies
on Nos. 4 and 5 to further distance himself from the
pack before carding his third eagle of the tournament
on the par-5, 523-yard ninth hole to extend his lead
to 10 strokes.
"I still had nine holes to play, but my eagle
on No. 9 definitely gave me a pretty big comfort zone,"
Rosenfeld said.
After playing the front nine in 4-under-par fashion,
the 17-year-old carded a birdie on No. 17 to make up
for a double bogey on No. 16 en route to a 3-under-par
68 and a 72-hole total of 71-66-63-68-268.
Rosenfeld finished the week at 6-under-par on the par-5,
491-yard 17th hole, which included a pair of both eagles
and birdies.
"Everything went as planned today," Rosenfeld
said. "I wanted to come in and play conservatively
and I felt like I played solid all day.
"This means a lot to me," Rosenfeld said
about winning his first major championship. "I've
come so close the last few years, and to finally win
Lucent feels great. And being so close to my home town
really makes this even more special."
Rosenfeld tied for fourth at this event last year at
Dallas Athletic Club and took second in 1999 on his
home course of Gleneagles Country Club. The win marked
his first AJGA victory of the year and sixth of his
career.
Kim, who closed Rosenfeld's lead to four strokes with
two holes to play, fired a final-round, 4-under-par
67 that included four birdies on the back nine to finish
in second at 69-68-69-67-273. Jeff Bell of Plano, Texas,
was third at 69-69-71-67-277, while Ryan Cochran of
Paducah, Ky., finished fourth at 277. Robert Stone of
Dallas, Kevin Silva of New Bedford, Mass., and Spitz
finished in a three-way tie for fifth at 6-under-par
278.
