he SCPGA Junior Tour’s mission is to grow the game of golf for juniors in Southern California by giving them the opportunity to learn, compete, and grow through the great game of golf. This mission is accomplished through our popular Junior Development Tour (JDT) program. The 2017 JDT program saw its best year with over 700 members competing in 75 different events across Southern California.

In addition, more than 155 players qualified to participate on the Players Tour.

The JDT program gives kids the opportunity to play and compete in a more relaxed tournament environment, but the real goal of this unique platform is for the SCPGA Staff to teach these new players the what, when, where, how, and why of tournament golf so that they will all have the same opportunity to learn at their own pace and prepare themselves for their future on the Junior Tour.

All JDT events are held on the weekends and this year an additional three tournaments have been added to the calendar, totaling 78 in 2018. Four new golf courses have been introduced to

the rotation this season: Glen Oaks Golf Course in Glendora, River View Golf Course in Santa Ana, Arroyo Seco Golf Course in South Pasadena, and Ben Brown’s Golf Course at The Ranch Resort in Laguna Beach.

This year, the JDT will also be providing new playing opportunities by adding divisions to allow five to seven year-olds to compete with parent caddies assisting on the course. Having these younger players on the JDT with their parents will go far to teach kids about golf at an early age and instill the core values of the game. The addition of these

new divisions has changed the age groups in the JDT for the 2018 season.

in the JDT and the SCPGA Junior Tour program.

There is no cost to families for these clinics as they are made possible through our partner, Friends of Golf (FOG). The clinic programming has been expanded to now include high school teams, to assist coaches in helping their team members attain a better understanding of competitive golf at that level. Areas of instruction include pre-tournament warm up, course management skills, basic rules, and scoring. High school coaches in the region are encouraged to contact the Junior Tour office for more information and schedule a no-cost clinic.

lmost a year after SCPGA Junior Tour members Carter Gaede, Liam Hartling, Lucy Yuan, and Kristine Xu claimed medals at the 2017 Drive, Chip, & Putt National Finals, a new batch of players prepare to embark on the journey of a lifetime.

In April, three new Junior Tour members will be representing the SCPGA at Augusta National Golf Club, the same week as the Masters Tournament. Those three players advancing to Augusta are Cole Kim, Kai Hirayama, and Elkim Bumacod! Having already won a local and sub-regional qualifier within the Southern California Section, each player and a parent will receive airfare plus lodging accommodations to attend the Drive, Chip, & Putt National Final, at Augusta National. In addition, each player will receive Monday Practice Round tickets for their immediate family at the 2018 Masters Tournament.

A few months shy of his graduation, with multiple trophies and accolades to confirm his skill, making the cut at the Australian Open months prior, and with well known teacher Dave Stockton Junior as his caddy, Charles Reiter played in his first ever PGA TOUR event. Did I mention he is just shy of his high school graduation?

PROGRAM MAGAZINE - YEAR IN REVIEW

harles Reiter has been an SCPGA Junior Tour Member since 2009, and his first year alone saw five wins. In 2013, he participated in the Toyota Tour Cup Qualifying School, placing third, and he never looked back.

The 2016 Toyota Tour Cup Champion teed off in the Emirates Australian Open in November of 2017, shooting a 75. With the cut lingering at a two-day total of 145, Charles needed to pull out all of the stops. Carding five birdies and only three bogeys, he would live to see the weekend by one-stroke, a feat that rarely happens for an amateur player. Charles would ultimately finish off the tournament shooting back to back 75’s, leaving him tied for 65th place in a tournament where only four Americans made the cut.

His stellar showing, along with his strong local following, allowed him to receive a sponsor exemption into the 2018 CareerBuilder Challenge that was hosted in La Quinta on January 18th21st. Instead of being 16-hours away by flight in Australia, Charles will now get to face off against some of the PGA TOUR greats on his own turf.

Starting off the tournament at the La Quinta Course, Charles made five birdies and an eagle to shoot a four-under 68. Moving to round two and inching closer to making the cut, he played the Nicklaus Tournament Course, one of the courses he is used to playing. Charles made another five birdies, but a bogey and a double would prevent him from shooting lower than a two-under on a day his longest drive was 350 yards. At six-under par after two rounds, and as the only amateur in the field, Charles needed at least another twounder round to meet the cut requirements.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. A few double bogeys early in the third round was a difficult challenge to come back from and Charles missed the cut along with other notables like Brandt Snedeker, Patrick Reed, and fellow SCPGA Junior Tour Alumni Phil Mickelson.

Although it wasn’t a fairytale ending, Charles Reiter’s story is just beginning. We can all learn a few lessons from this 18-year-old and will see him shine in the spotlight again. Stay tuned for his next chapter, USC golf, this fall.

he Players Tour had a fantastic year in 2017. With over 150 tournaments completed during the season, there was certainly a place for every player to compete. With many single day tournaments, Toyota Tour Cup qualifiers, Toyota Tour Cup Qualifying School, the Players Tour 2-Day Series, Bridgestone Tournament of Champions, memorial events, match play, and many others, we catered to a variety of junior golfers.

T H E P L AY E R S TO U R

The Players Tour is perfect for the golfer who is looking to expand their tournament experience at single day events, and even better for the seasoned Players Tour veterans who are grinding week in and week out to gain one of the coveted Toyota Tour Cup exemptions. There will be a tournament for you nearly every weekend throughout the 2018 season, with additional opportunities during the week in the summertime! With over 1,500 members on the Players Tour, there will always be great competition. Most tournaments are booked well in advance which allows parents and players to map out and plan their golfer’s playing schedule.

The 2018 season will be no different, with many opportunities for players of a variety of skill levels from beginner to advanced. There is a tournament experience for everyone, whether trying to break into the Toyota Tour Cup, or just wanting to play in a fun, competitive atmosphere with your friends, the Players Tour has it all.

ALUMNI HIGHLIGHT

Q&A

SCPGA JUNIOR TOUR ALUMNI: SAHITH THEEGALA B Y : A M B E R LY N N D O R S E Y SCPGA JUNIOR GOLF MANAGER ADORSE Y@PGAHQ .COM

Only in his junior year at Pepperdine University, Sahith Theegala already has a massive golf resume. The Diamond Bar High School Alum was an avid player on the Toyota Tour Cup, racking up 12 wins in his six years on the circuit. Moving on to his freshman year in college, Sahith was named the WCC Freshman of the Year and was placed on both the PING All-West Region Team and All-WCC First Team. After two seasons, he has the best scoring average in Pepperdine history and beyond college events, he made the cut at the 2017 Genesis Open and made it to the 2016 US Amateur quarterfinals.

You already have attained quite the list of accolades, including the best scoring average in school history with a 71 for two seasons, what’s next on your to-do list?

I definitely want to focus in on winning more in college. I am happy with the way I’ve progressed as a golfer, maturing through college, but winning is something that I’d like to make a priority, because I feel like my game is in the right place to do so. It’s just a matter of fitting all the pieces together, and I think that is going to help me in the longrun, in terms of professional golf as well. And obviously winning a national championship as a team, because that is something that I will for sure never forget and it’s something special that you do with the whole team, who are like a second family to me.

You had 12 wins on the Toyota Tour Cup, do you think these junior golf experiences helped you prepare for college golf?

Absolutely, because knowing I can play well against the best junior golfers in Southern California gave me tons of confidence moving into college golf. The correlation is pretty direct because you end up

12

PROGRAM MAGAZINE - YEAR IN REVIEW

seeing all the good junior golfers you battle with in tournaments such as Toyota Tour Cups, and you see that progression from junior golf star to college golf star.

I think feeling comfortable one way or another is key in terms of competing at a high level.

If you could give advice to yourself back when you were on the SCPGA Junior Tour what would it be?

I would say just to have more fun.

I know it sounds cliche, but that is something my dad has repeated to me a thousand times and I’m super grateful that he did so. When it comes down to it, if you’re not enjoying competing and playing golf, it’s very difficult to have any sort of success. You have to enjoy that great up-and-down for par or get pumped up for a clutch birdie or else this game will eat you up.

How do you balance golf and academics?

This definitely took some time to get used to. Academics, especially at a university like Pepperdine, are very challenging and balancing grades with golf is always difficult.

Again, might sound cliché, but it is all about time management.

If you manage your time well, and kind of fall into a routine in terms of practice hours versus study hours, it’ll all come to fruition. It’s also important to make time for other things, such as hanging out with friends or just taking a day off because if not, it could start to become a serious grind in the wrong direction, and that’s not what college should be about.

If you could have anyone caddie for you, who would it be?

I love having a caddie that I can talk to about stuff other than golf while I’m on the course. I really enjoy light chatter about random topics while striding down the fairways. It’s hard picking one but one of my favorite caddies I’ve had was my old assistant coach Armen.

He caddied for me in the 2016 US Amateur where I made it to the quarterfinals, and it was probably one of the most fun times I’ve ever had on the golf course. We joked our way through the whole week, but also focused in when we needed to.

How did it feel earning an exemption into the 2017 Genesis Open and even making the cut? Did you have a difficult time keeping the same mindset as you would at a collegiate tournament?

It was an unbelievable feeling qualifying for the Genesis Open last year. I was blessed enough to be the one that represented Pepperdine through one of our donors, Paul Porteous, and able to do that college showcase. To make it and have all my friends and family there to support me; that was the best part of it all. Making the cut was a bonus and it gave me two more free days playing a PGA Tour event, which was some of the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course. Once I got on the golf course, I was in the zone and it was pretty similar to playings college event, because I’m going out there with the mindset of trying to shoot the best I can on the golf course, not so much focusing on the competition.

You recently just won a Pepperdine Waves Challenge at Saticoy by a 16-shot margin, crushing the previous record of 9-under in 1989.

Does this give you more affirmation that you can make it on the PGA TOUR? 100%! Obviously I still have a long way to go before graduating and thinking about the Tour, but I’m very happy with the way my game is progressing. It was reassuring to see my mindset of playing the course and not the competition came to fruition, because even with a big lead I tried to focus on hitting quality shots. Definitely reinforces the confidence I have in my game and able to compete at a high level.

P L AY E R PAT H W AY BY: M AT T C H U DY FORMER GOLF IN SCHOOLS STUDENT

s a young boy, I tried playing baseball.

All of my friends played it too, and I was desperate to fit in. I played for about three years, but I was never able to find a true passion for the sport. I dreaded practices and did not pay any attention during the games. I was forcing myself to play, and I decided that I should begin to learn a different sport that I would be more interested in. One thing my coaches constantly told me when I played baseball was that my swing was way too low. I was swinging the bat almost like a golf club, and it gave me an idea.

I picked up on the game of golf and it was completely different. It was something that came to me naturally. I was confident in my swing and I felt passionate about the sport. I was never very competitive, so to find a sport where I could compete against myself was perfectly suited for me. I believed I was born to play golf. My father would take me to the driving range every weekend where we would hit balls until my hands blistered. He was impressed with what he had seen in me, and my parents worked to find the perfect class to help me improve at my new favorite game.

Eventually, every Saturday, I was going to a class taught by TGA instructors. It was different from any other classes that I had before. I looked forward to practicing golf every weekend and I was motivated to do better and better each class. TGA helped me to connect with other kids who shared a similar interest in golf as me and even learn from them as well. I went to that class for years and my coach could see that I was getting better every Saturday.

After practicing so long and learning how to master the game, I was given the opportunity to go to TGA summer camp. This meant that me and about three or four other children that were my age would go around the area for a week, playing through all of the local courses.

These are memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. If it were not for TGA, I would not be the golfer I am today.

I went on to make my high school golf team as a freshman. This gave me the opportunity to play against other schools and meet new people who I now consider some of my closest friends. The coaches were amazing and helped me gain experience not only as a player but as a person as well. Golf has changed my life in so many ways and has even taught me life lessons about patience and never giving up. I will never regret my decision to play golf, no matter how truly frustrating it can be.

Q&A

SCPGA JUNIOR TOUR ALUMNI:

BRIGITTE DUNNE

B Y : A M B E R LY N N D O R S E Y SCPGA JUNIOR GOLF MANAGER ADORSE Y@PGAHQ .COM

Brigitte Dunne is a SCPGA Junior Tour Alumni now challenging herself at Southern Methodist University in Texas. The 20-year old graduated from Oaks Christian School in 2015 and played her freshman year at college with a 74.59 average. Now a junior, Brigitte has earned many accolades. During her Toyota Tour Cup years, she was crowned victor four times, including two championship titles. Beyond that, she was All-American Athletic Conference in 2016 and 2017 and American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year.

Camarillo to Texas, how has it been adjusting to the student-athlete lifestyle so far from home?

It was a big change for me. Well, the actually moving part was a crazy experience, but so fun and eye-opening.

I wanted to move somewhere and just have a new experience. I have lived in the same house my entire life, so I wanted to put myself in an uncomfortable situation and see how I could rise to the challenge. I believe that you should be comfortable while being uncomfortable, meaning that you should always welcome new opportunities and challenges that you are not used to. I love Camarillo, and I love when I get to come home because I get to surf, spend time with friends and family. But, in Dallas, I get to be a true student athlete and focus on golf, workouts, practices, and meetings. I’m pushed to become better by myself, my team and coaches, and the people around me. I’ve also created my own little family there, so wherever I am, I’m having a blast. That is why

16

PROGRAM MAGAZINE - YEAR IN REVIEW

I was able to adjust the way I did. I truly enjoy every opportunity to improve while spending time with such cool people.

You received four 1st place finishes, two of which were Toyota Tour Cup championship titles. Did these experiences prepare you for college?

My Toyota Tour Cup experience really prepared me for college. It was a stage in-between the VCGA and AJGA. It helped me grow as a player and allowed me to compete in great tournaments against the top players in California. Competition is the best way to practice and get better. The Toyota Tour Cup experience was perfect for me and helped shape me into the player I am today. In college, you are traveling and playing almost every week and you have to be ready to perform just like I had to be ready while playing in Toyota Tour Cup events.

Year by year you have decreased your scoring average, 74.59 as a freshman, 73.62 as a sophomore, and halfway through junior year, a 72.58. What practice routines do you believe contribute to your continued collegiate success?

Although I do believe that physical practice is important to become a championship golfer, I believe in the mental aspect of golf just as much, if not more. There are things I do during practice that consistently help me get better, like a lot of chipping and putting. But, physical practice can only go so far. I focus on the growth of my mind as a person and a player. I believe that is what has lead me to become a better player. You have to continually push yourself to become the better version of you. All those consistent efforts add up into you becoming a better player. I think the key to getting better is showing up to practice with a growth mindset, which means being ready to learn new things and be dedicated to the process.

Graduation day isn’t too far away, what is your declared major and plans for life after college?

Yes, it is coming soon! I wish I could stay longer!

I will be getting an Applied Physiology & Sports Management degree with a minor in Advertising.

My plan is to go pro after graduation and pursue my dreams to become the best golfer I possibly can.

What was your process for your college search?

What factors ultimately measured into your top choices and eventually in your decision?

Honestly, it is a crazy process. It is stressful and frustrating, but also exciting. When I was being recruited I traveled all over the US trying to find the perfect fit. When I came to SMU, I automatically felt comfortable. Even though it is an amazing academic and athletic school, the people truly shaped my

decision. For me, I looked for great academics, a great athletic program, and a place where I could play year-round. But, the things that really sold me on SMU were the coaches, the people, and the staff that I knew I was going to be around every single day. I truly believe that I have the best two coaches in the nation. They care for us as players but more importantly as people, and treat us like family. My team is amazing, and I love spending time with them. It makes traveling, practicing, and meetings that much better. So, to answer the question, the team and coaches are what made me fall in love with the program and the school.

Do you have a lucky charm or a pre-tournament routine you follow?

Haha yeah, I have a lot of weird things that I do leading up to a tournament. I have chapters of books that I read, I have journal entries that I’ve written myself, and I have music that I like to listen to. The most important part for me is getting in the zone.

Getting in the zone is different for everyone, but for me, I get in the zone by remembering why I truly love golf and how lucky I am to get to play it every single day. That leads me to be relaxed so I can love and enjoy every moment on the golf course.

What’s your first memory of golf?

11 or 12. To be honest, I really did not want to play golf. I remember my dad telling me I should play and I freaked out at the thought of how bored I would be. I was really into soccer, tennis, and skateboarding so golf seemed like the most boring thing on the planet. But once I started playing, it was the most difficult sport I’ve ever played and it made me come back for more. I love the challenge and that it’s an individual sport in which you can determine your own destiny. I remember spending hours on the range because I was fascinated with the fact that it didn’t come easy.

What advice would you give yourself during your SCPGA Junior Tour years?

I would tell myself to chill out, but I think that was me as an athlete trying to get better at what I love.

Also, to take in the opportunities and enjoy the process. When you slow down and enjoy what you’re doing, it makes the world of a difference.

If you could pick anyone to caddy for you, who would it be?

Naturally I would choose one of my best friends from home. But, I would also love for Arnold Palmer to caddie for me. He was an athlete, people person, an icon and someone that always kept his chin up while performing with fearlessness and belief in himself. There was something special about Arnie.

JUNIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

ZHANG “ROSE” TO THE CHALLENGE

B Y : A M B E R LY N N D O R S E Y SCPGA JUNIOR GOLF MANAGER ADORSE Y@PGAHQ .COM

L

exi Thompson, D.A Points, Inbee Park, Cristie Kerr, Pat Perez, and Ariya Jutanugarn, and now, Rose Zhang.

These are the names that have been etched into the history books of the Junior PGA Championship. This major junior championship began in 1976 and has witnessed countless competitors and winners who went on to successful golfing careers. The 2017 year was the first time that the Championship would be split into two events, Boys and Girls. For the girls, it was held at the prestigious Country Club of St, Albans, Lewis and Clark Course. This fairly new course, which opened in 1992, boasts natural features that enhance and create a challenging game of golf. But for Rose, it ended up being a playground.

Competing in her first Junior PGA Championship, Rose “rose” to the challenge and turned in her first round scorecard of 69. Shooting under par for the first round might have players thinking about the championship title, but Rose was just thinking about the dreaded cut, “There were many low numbers on the board so I didn’t really get myself worked up over the leaderboard. I kept doing what I needed to do to finish my round as best as I could.” She did that and more, she tied the tournament second round record with a 65. With her best career round, she was sharing the 36-hole lead with Yealimi Noh and Hailee Cooper at 10-under par.

PROGRAM MAGAZINE - YEAR IN REVIEW

Zhang was not done with championship records. Her third round saw five birdies in her final eight holes to shoot a 66, smashing the previous 54-hole record of 202 set in 2014. However, her score could have been a few strokes worse. On the 16th green, Rose moved her ball marker out of the line of her playing competitor, but did not replace it.

The walking rules official luckily did and informed Rose before a stroke was made, saving her a two-stroke penalty from playing from the wrong position. Rose brushed off what could be a junior golfer’s worst nightmare, “I felt a lot more relaxed and composed since I passed a huge obstacle and from there, I completed my last two holes without thinking about it.”

Five birdies later, Rose claims the Junior PGA Championship with a 68, tying the lowest 72-hole record posted by Kristen Gillman in 2014.

When asked about any shots that could have broken the record, Rose was humble, “there was a 7-footer on 17 on the last day… but to balance it out, I had some really clutch shots at the right time.” This rising star is well on her way. She is eyeing Stanford, USC, and UCLA but still has plenty of time to decide on the perfect match.

The world will be watching her soon enough on the LPGA circuit. In the meantime, she offers a few words of wisdom regarding nerves, “when people get nervous, some of it is because they are worried about how they will perform. The results are just something to look at.” It’s apparent that this 14-year-old certainly knows how to handle her nerves.

he previous boys winner, Charles Reiter, recently competed in his first PGA TOUR event, the 2018 CarrerBuilder Challenge at the age of eighteen. Collegiate standout, Brigitte Dunne of SMU claimed back-to-back girls titles in 2013 & 14, and recently won the 2017 Joanne Winter Arizona Silver Belle. With each passing year, the competition gets tougher and tougher, but the fact remains that only two players will earn the right to have their names added to the list of champions. Those two names added last season were Angela Liu of Irvine for the girls and Mason Greene of Tustin for the boys.

Twelve-year-old Angela Liu is a name that you should get used to hearing. In her short career

TOURNAMENT PARTNERS:

as a Toyota Tour Cup member, Angela has already notched two Toyota Tour Cup victories, and although winning has become routine for Angela, her 2017 Tour Cup championship didn’t come easy. Forced into a sudden death playoff against Lauren Gomez, lasting four holes, it took a clutch birdie on the par three 16th for Angela to win. After claiming her title, Angela said, “It’s very exciting to have won this event, all of my shots were working for me, and I am honored to have won this tournament!”

Another name to remember is that of sixteen-year-old Mason Greene. Chasing his first Toyota Tour Cup victory, Mason was sitting three strokes off the lead after the first round. Unfazed by the large gathering of college

coaches in attendance, Mason rose to the occasion and separated himself from the pack by firing a final round of 67 to win the boys title by two strokes. Upon hosting the trophy, Mason said, “It was a really cool experience to get this win and I was focusing on staying in the moment.”

For both victors, winning the Toyota Tour Cup Championship is an experience that they soon won’t forget.

Special thanks to the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa for hosting.

Thank you Toyota for supporting the Toyota Tour Cup throughout the year! Also, we would like to recognize T-Link for donating the champion’s prizes of GPS watches.

Lastly, thank you to Taylormade & Adidas for their support!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

HAI LEY BORJA GOLF IN HER DNA

BY: TR AVI S CUTLE R SCPGA JUNIOR GOLF MANAGER TCUTLER@PGAHQ.COM

G

rowing up an only child, Hailey tried her hand at a few other sports including soccer, gymnastics and swimming.

However, she found a love for the game of golf at the age of five. She didn’t have a friend or parent that introduced her to the game like most of us, but rather discovered the game sitting at home with dad while it was on TV. Her reaction to watching it on TV was “Oh, I want to try that one!”

It didn’t take her long to progress because in only three short years, at the age of eight, she notched her first of two holes-in-one!

The second came during competition at a Toyota Tour Cup event in 2016.

26

Hailey has had a very successful career on the links gathering hardware and notoriety all over the country. She is an AJGA All-American honorable mention and has verbally committed to play golf at the University of Michigan. Throughout her travels she’s found Boone Valley Golf Club in Missouri to be the favorite course she’s played (so far), but hopes to one day get to play the illustrious Pebble Beach Golf Links.

When not playing golf, Hailey can be found lounging around at the beach with friends, or enjoying some peace and quiet with a good book. When at home she will enjoy the company of her dog Rory (inspired by the golfer).

However, her favorite golfer is none other than Jordan Spieth. Hailey hopes to one-day travel Europe and make a special stop to see the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. A trip out of the country could prove difficult on the taste buds as she is known to be a very picky eater. Her friends have a name for the ‘meat & bun only’ she gets: “The Hailey Burger.” Picky eater and all, Hailey has a bright future ahead of her.

It features the top boys and girls in the country based on their average points earned in AJGA nationally ranked events, with a minimum of six events played.
