LUNDY’S CONSISTENCY EARNS THE VICTORY
Miller Takes Top Honors for First Time
MYRTLE BEACH, SC— This week the International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) traveled to Myrtle Beach,
which is unofficially regarded as the golf capital of the world. The 36-hole stroke play event was played on
Myrtlewood Golf Club’s PineHills Course, which played as a great location for families to be on the Easter
weekend. The participants had to face windy conditions on both days, but were still able to post some quality
scores.
In the Boys 13-19 Division, Patrick Lundy of Little River, SC recorded an even par tournament total of 144 to
take home top honors. After Saturday Lundy held a share of the lead, while seven others were within three
strokes of his opening round 72. On Sunday, Lundy started off hot on the front nine, while others made their
own attempts to catch him. Lasse Sonne Nielson of Oelstykke, Denmark fired a one-under round of 71 to
post an early tournament total of 145, but it wouldn’t be enough to take the top honors. Lundy would finish
Sunday with another round of 72, to earn the one stroke victory. Nielson placed second, while Martin
Walrath of Alberta, Canada carded rounds of 75 and 74 to round out the top three.
In the Boys 12 & Under Division JJ Qualkenbush of Lahaina, HI kept his hot streak going, taking top honors
for the fourth time in the last six weeks. Qualkenbush carded an opening round 81 to lead Sam Scott of
Hinsdale, IL by three strokes. On Sunday, Qualkenbush posted another 81 for a tournament total 162. Scott
kept his second place honors for the tournament, and Jackson Prince of New Canaan, CT took home third
place.
After several second place finishes in her career, Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy (HH IJGA)
student Kelly Miller of Ceredigion, United Kingdom was able to breakthrough for her first IJGT victory in the
Girls 19 & Under Division. Miller carded an opening round 79 to take the clubhouse lead by one stroke over
Lynda Kwon of North Wales, PA. On Sunday, Miller was able to improve upon her first round by recording a
76 to post a 155 tournament total, and win by six strokes. Simone Strauss of Rancho Mirage, CA shot rounds
of 81 and 80 to earn second place honors. Kwon and Christina Koerbs (HH IJGA) of Seelze, Germany
finished in a tie for third place, posting tournament totals of 166.
