4th Annual Under Armour/Vicky Hurst Championship
Last week I was fortunate enough that my schedule allowed me to attend the 4th Annual Under Armour/Vicky Hurst Championship. Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, this tournament was a 54-hole stroke play competition played on the par-72 Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, AZ.
This year was amazing! We had 57 boys and 21 girls compete. I was able to drive around in a golf cart with the tournament director, Blair Thompson, and watch some great golf on the course. I watched Tyler Moore of Escondido, Calif. make is final putt to shoot an amazing 6-under final round to win by one stroke. Rong Ji of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. shot a final round 68 to take home the win in the girls division.
