Blaise Barnum (Dublin, 2029) won the Boys u13 division in the event at Yankee Trace. Barnum’s 27-hole total of 3-under-par was good enough for a five stroke win.
Also winning at Yankee Trace was Eva Emerson (Columbus, 2029) in the Girls u14 division.
In the Golfweek Junior Tour Elite Event, Dublin’s Elizabeth Ryu defeated Juanita Beatrix Tandoc in a four-hole playoff to win the Girls 15-19 division. Ryu, a Rutgers University commit, birdied the fourth hole in the playoff for the win.
St. Charles ’26 Mikey Pagnotto led the Boys 14-19 division at Denison after an opening round of three-under 68. Pagnotto’s second round of 74 saw him come up one shot short of a playoff with Ben Fauver for the overall win, however, Pagnotto did win the Boys 14-15 division. Four other Central Ohioans finished in a tie for third in Boys 14-19.
GWJT also hosted an event the same week at Blacklick Woods, which saw Canal Winchester’s Anna Machamer, an Ashland University commit, win the Girls 15-19 division
