2010 Wyoming Junior Championship Wraps up in Worland

For Bri Sweeny, it was déjà vu all over again as she successfully defended her Girls Junior Amateur Championship on her home turf, Green Hills Golf Club in Worland. With rounds of 76-78—156 she was able to finish ten strokes clear of the field. Haley Shackleford of Gillette (80-84—164) finished in second place and Madisen Price of Thermopolis (101-98—199) was in third.

In the boys overall division, the last player into the field ended up taking home the title. Kyle Fanning (73-68—141) made it into the Championship on Tuesday afternoon after a withdraw made room for him in the round one pairings. The senior-to-be from Cheyenne shot a four-under par 68 in the final round to overtake Cameron Lindell of Sheridan (68-74—142). Lindell had a 15 foot birdie putt from just off the edge of the green on the 36th hole, but it slipped by to give Fanning his first WSGA Title. Defending Champ, Kamrin Allen of Sheridan (72-71—143) finished two shots back.

Maier Successfully Defends at WSGA Amateur

With a birdie on the 54th hole of The Championship, Gabe Maier (65-69-71—205) completed his successful title defense in the 88th playing of the Wyoming State Golf Association’s Amateur Championship. Maier was able to hold off 2008 WSGA Amateur Champion, Steve White of Jackson (72-67-70—209), who evened up the Championship after a birdie three on the par-four tenth hole. Maierregained a one-shot edge after holing out from just off the front edge of the green par-five 11th for an eagle three. White missed his five foot eagle attempt to fall one shot back, which remained the margin as the two competitors traded pars for the next five holes. On the par-four 17th, White made an untimely double-bogey when he was forced to punch out after his tee shot found the left rough. Maier made par and took a three shot lead to the final hole where he made birdie to claim his second consecutive WSGA Amateur Title.
