Greatest Golfer Juniors

Four more young golfers earned spots in the 2020 Greatest Golfer Joe Dickey Electric Juniors Division after the second qualifying event on Thursday at Squaw Creek-Avalon.

Division winners from each of the six qualifying events advance to the championship July 17-18 at Squaw Creek-Avalon and Avalon Lakes.

Finals qualifiers on Thursday were Leah Benson in girls U17, Michael Porter in boys U17, Bryce Daggett in boys U14 and Zoey Stern in girls U14. They join four who qualified on Tuesday at Pine Lakes: Luke Eyster in boys U17, Sophia Yurich in girls U17, Alexander Eckstein in boys U14 and Alexandra Petrochko in girls U14.

On Thursday, Porter won with a birdie in a one-hole playoff after he and Tyler Andersen tied with a round of 80. Eckstein and Daggett tied with a round of 82 in boys U14, but Daggett earned the qualifying spot since Eckstein already had clinched a finals spot.
