• Julianee Lee First IJGT Tournament Win

   Julianne Lee of York, Pa., and Charlotte Simpson of Towson, Md., finished tied with tournament scores of 156. The playoff started on hole No. 16 at Hershey Country Club, where Lee and Simpson tied with bogeys. On the second playoff hole, Lee was able to get up and down for par to secure the victory, the first of her IJGT career. Lee started the final round only one stroke back of Simpson after an opening round of 78. Lee put some pressure on Simpson early making two birdies in her front nine. At the turn Lee and Simpson were tied. Simpson grabbed control of the lead with a birdie on hole No. 14, but Lee was resilient and stayed calm making a par on her last hole to send it to the playoff.The greens at Hershey Country Club were rolling very fast and troubled many of the competitors including Lee.“My putting was not very good this week, but my iron play and driver made up for it,” said Lee.
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Lancaster County Junior Golf Tour Hat trick sparks Will Riva to LCJGT win at Hawk Valley

  Will Riva, a rising junior at Lancaster Catholic, opened the current Lancaster County Junior Golf Tour season with a victory at Overlook.After that tournament, he thanked his “lucky charm” — a white bucket hat that protects his pale skin, blonde hair and blue eyes from the sun.Riva, however, recently slept over at a friend’s house. But with Tuesday’s Golf, Etc., Lusk & Associates Junior at Hawk Valley drawing near, he realized there was something missing — his lucky charm.“I called him (and said), ‘Hey, I need you to bring that bucket hat. I need it,’ ” Riva said.When his friend arrived at Hawk Valley on Tuesday, Riva charged up to him and urgently asked, “Dude, you have my hat? I need it.”The exchange was made, and Riva was reunited with his lucky charm.Good thing, too. With the hat came Riva’s second LCJGT championship of the summer.After playing a stellar round of 36-37—73, Riva finished four strokes ahead of Ethan Cairns (39-38—77) and Patrick Neslund (36-41—77) for the crown.“To be honest, tee to green was the best I’ve ever played,” Riva said. “I hit 17 greens.”

• Jacob Maciinanti Junior Tournament Win

  I played very well and
  shot a -1 70 today. I ended up winning the tournament today. I think i could've
  have shot in the 60's today, however my putting stroke was kinda garbage. I
  worked on it on the putting green and its back to normal now. What I did  do
  well was hit my driver today. I hit many fairways, making it easy for me to
  stop the ball on the green and get opportunities to score. Overall i am very
  happy with my performance and think my putting could've been better. Thanks, Jake
