SHINODA AND LOPEZ CLAIM VICTORY AT QUAIL RANCH

Moreno Valley, Calif., - Blake Shinoda of Santa Ana, Calif., and Lee Lopez, Whittier, Calif., took first place honors at the JAGS Moreno Valley Junior Challenge held at the demanding Quail Ranch Golf Course in Moreno Valley, California. Shinoda battled the 90 degree heat, swirling winds and small tricky greens to defeat the field of 22 boys from three states and finished with a two day total of 147, 3 over par.

Day two, in the boys division, had Shinoda tied with Jeffrey Chen of Walnut, Calif., each at 74 with a two shot lead over Chris Gilman, Yorba Linda, Calif., and held a three shot advantage over Casey Murphy of Rathdrum, Idaho, all playing in the final foursome of the day. Shinoda played the front nine at even par and at the turn had a one shot advantage over Chen who was one over at the turn. Gilman was also one over while Murphy made the turn one under for the day. Despite a few stumbles on the back nine, Shinoda finished strong with a birdie, par, eagle to finish the day at 1-over 73 and won by 5 strokes over Gilman, who was 2nd and 6 over Murphy and Chen, who tied for 3^rd. Fifth place went to Bradley Wyatt, La Verne, Calif., and 6^th went to Gregory Chu, Chula Vista, Calif. Bodin Bhanaraksa, Chino, Calif., placed 7^th, Philip Chian, Covina, Calif., was 8^th, Con O’Connor, Burbank, Calif., was 9^th, and Jonathan Fidone, Laguna Niguel, Calif., placed 10^th .

In the girls division, Lopez poured in 6 birdies on day one to finish with a 2-under par 70 to lead Chaneng Joe, Poway, Calif., who finished at even par. Shannon Yocum, Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., trailed by 4 and Emily Mason, Highland, Calif., was 6 behind Lopez as the first round was completed.

Day two began with these leaders in the final foursome playing under slightly cooler conditions but a little breezier than day one. At the end of nine holes, Lopez’s lead over Joe was still two shots, but Mason was now only three back and had moved ahead of Yocum. Lopez continued her steady play but only got one birdie to drop on the final nine but managed to hold on to defeat Mason and Joe by one shot as ended the match posting a final score of 147, 5 over par. Lizette Salas, Azusa, Calif., moved up to 4^th place with a 153, while Yocum and Tiffany Lua, Rowland Heights, Calif., tied for 5^th. Mariko Makabe, Rancho Palos Verde, Calif., was 7^th, followed by Angela Villela, Santa Clarita, Calif., was 8^th and Stephanie Yocum, Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., finished 9^th. Madison Butler, Coto de Caza, Calif., and Sunkyung (Keaton) Kim, La Palma, Calif., tied for 10^th.
