Team BC Leads First Round Of Junior America's Cup

(July 27, 2010)
Coquitlam's Bryan Jung tied a course-record with his 7-under par 64 to lead Team British Columbia into first place after the opening round of the 38th Annual Junior America's Cup Tuseday in Albuquedrque, New Mexico.

Playing at the popular Isleta Eagle Golf Club, Jung holds a four stroke lead on the rest of the field while Team BC has a 5-under par total of 208, three strokes in front of Team Oregon. Alberta is another stroke back in third place.

A field of 17 teams, representing two Canadian provinces and 14 U.S. States - including North and South California -- are entered and the best three scores out of four each round comprise the team totals.

There were 13 players among the 68 teenagers entered that posted numbers in the red in an event that has featured such players as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Five of the 17 golf associations finished at even par or better as a team.

Last year the BC team, led by Charlie Hughes' five-under par 65 and Sally Pini Medalist Justin Shin's two-under 68, cruised to a tournament low round of five-under 205 to take home the team title.
