The TJGT Cypresswood Junior Championship was played at the Cypresswood Golf Club on the Cypress Course November 19th-20th 2011.
The players teed it up under partly cloudy skies and near perfect scoring conditions at the Cypresswood - Cypress Course this weekend. While several players battled internal demons from inside 15-feet, others were forced to battle father time as the sun proved to be a formidable opponent for all the late tee times.
The Boys 16-18 played 6,906 yards; the Boys 12-15 played 6,238 yards; and all Girls 12-18 played 5,714 yards in this 36-hole, nationally-ranked event.
Coaches from Houston Baptist and Schreiner University were in attendance watching the players from Texas and Louisiana battle it out.
Barrett Hennington and Phillip Stewart had their own battle going on in the Boys 15-18 division as they were paired together for both rounds of the two-day event. Round 1 saw Barrett fire 68, while Phillip closed with a 33 on the back nine for a 69. Round 2 saw both players take a few steps back, but Phillip Stewart eventually held on for the 3-shot win over Barrett. Local favorite, Lonnie Smith was solid enough to claim 3rd place.
Patrick Rhodes claimed 1st place in the boys 12-14 division by firing a +3 147. Kyle Hogan took 2nd while Cole Hammer’s 33 on the front 9 of day two was enough to earn a scorecard playoff with Greg Bechtel for 3rd place with Cole eventually claiming the prize.
Madison Kidd was too much for Victoria Ramirez in the girls 12-14 division.
Bernice Leonard and Katie Cameron both put together two consistent days of golf. Bernice edged Katie by 3-strokes to take the girls 15-18 division. Bernice shot (78-77-155) and Katie shot (79-79-158). In 3rd place was a TJGT 1st timer, Brittany Bhaskar.
