60 YOUNGSTERS TO COMPETE FOR TITLE IN 12TH N.C. BOYS 13 & UNDER CHAMPIONSHIP

WEST END, NC (7/14/08) -- A field of 60 youngsters will compete in the 12th North Carolina Boys 13 & Under Championship of the Carolinas Golf Association, which will be played July 14-15 at Asheboro Golf Course.

The youngsters will play an 18-hole stroke-play qualifying round on July 14 to determine match play flights and seedings. The top 16 scorers will qualify for the championship flight, which will have four rounds of match play -- the first three matches covering 9 holes and the championship match, 18 holes.

The Boys 13 & Under competition was previously part of the CGA's North Carolina Junior Championship, but because of an ever-increasing number of entries, the division for boys ages 14 through 17 was being cut back to make room for the younger players. The 13 & Under division was played as a stand-alone championship for the first time last summer at Asheboro GC.

Victor Wiggins of Gastonia, who lost to 2007 Davis Womble by a 2 & 1 margin in the title match, will be back this year to make another run at the championship.

The tournament will be played on a 73-year-old course designed by legendary architect Donald Ross. It will play at 5,520 yards with a par of 70 for the youngsters.
