Final Results

Asheboro, NCJames Sugg of Pinehurst, NC battled a bulky putter and a tough opponent in AJ Beechler of Pinehurst, NC in winning the 15th NC Junior Boys 13 and Under Championship hosted by the Donald Ross designed Asheboro Golf Club in Asheboro, NC.  Sugg, a 13 year old rising eight grader, got off to an early two up lead after three holes, but Beechler, an 11 year old rising sixth grader, fought back and squared the match after nine holes.  On the seventeenth hole, Sugg needed a two putt to win the hole, but four putted the tricky green to give Beechler the hole and a one up lead.  Beechler bogeyed the eighteenth hole and a Sugg par sent the match to extra holes.  Sugg won the 19th hole to secure his first Carolinas Golf Association championship.
