WINTERNATIONAL
JUNIOR SERIES COMPETES ON HISTORIC PINEHURST No. 2
VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, NORTH CAROLINA -- December 18, 2005
On
a weekend, which found temperatures ranging from the mid-30s
to mid-40s, 21 members of the Winternational Junior Series
contested the third tournament of the season. The venue for
this Championship included Saturday’s 1st Round on the
Donald Ross designed No. 2 Course which served as the venue
for the 2005 United States Open Championship. On Sunday, the
field moved to the original Pinehurst No. 1 Course, which
opened in 1899.
In the Freshman/Sophomore Division, Michael McGowan of Southern
Pines, NC made it back-to-back victories with a three shot
win over hard charging runner-up Justin Evans. McGowan had
the low round in Saturday’s first round on the No. 2
Course, with a 5-over par 76. His 76 on Sunday held off Evans
who birdied three of the last five holes for his second round
73. Not to be outdone, McGowan also birdied three of the last
five holes to secure the victory. In third place, from Florence,
SC, with scores of 79-78, for a 157, was Taylor Sharber.
The Junior/Senior Division saw an extremely tight finish.
Chason Trahan of Charlotte, NC trailed overnight leader Rob
Allen, also from Charlotte, by six shots. On the final nine
holes, Trahan strung together eight consecutive fours and
a final Par 3 for an incoming nine of 35. This, coupled with
his 38 on the front nine, gave him a 73 and a 157 total. The
leaders, playing two groups back, faltered in the end to give
Trahan the victory. Joint runners-up were Jake Williams of
Midlothian, VA and Matt Stasiak of Clarence, NY with totals
of 158. Stasiak had his problems on the par-3 finishing hole
when he scored a double bogey, and Williams made 6 on the
relatively easy par-5 17th hole. Both fell one shot short
of a playoff for the Championship. In fourth place was Andrew
Kay of Pittsford, NY with an 83-76, 159 total. With his victory
this weekend, Trahan, who is a past All-American team member
of the Winternational Junior Series, recorded his first win.
The Winternational Junior Series will continue on January
7th when the Fourth Event will be contested on the recently
redesigned and renovated, Tom and George Fazio No. 6 Course
at Pinehurst Resort. For further information contact Peter
