Zach Foushee and Gus Lundquist
Foushee fires a five under par to finish 2nd; Lundquist leads wire-to-wire for first win
On Sunday at the final round of the FCWT junior golf tournament at the Wigwam Golf Resort, Zach Foushee of West Linn, OR (2012) would probably have liked a round of golf to be 19 holes, instead of the standard 18. Foushee, who was the 2011 FCWT Tour Championship winner at the Boys 16-19 level last May, fired a final round of 5 under par 67 to finish one stroke short of the title at Wigwam. Foushee played the back nine at 5 under par, making birdie on four of the last five holes, including the 17th and 18th holes. But thankfully for Gus Lundquist of Parker, CO (2012), eighteen holes is a standard round of golf and Gus was able to capture his first FCWT junior golf tournament win. Gus, 17, was playing his first tournament of the 2011-2012 season, but has played in two previous junior golf seasons on the FCWT with some good finishes. Last season at the FCWT Tour Championship that Foushee won, Gus finished 15th. This time around Gus’s two consecutive rounds of one under par gave him the title. Gus led wire-to-wire and finished at 142 for the 36 hole tournament. Foushee’s final round earned him 2nd place at 143.
Chris Tedesco
Chris Tedesco of Gig Harbor, WA (2012) fired a final round of 2 under par to finish in 3rd place. Also moving up the leaderboard on Sunday with a final round under par was Koan Woon Rim of Seoul (2012). Rim came in at 1 under par (71) and finished in 4th place at 149. Foushee led this division in birdies with 10 for the tournament while Lundquist and Rim both posted 8 birdies to their respective scorecards.
Jeff Miller
Miller shoots 70 for 1st Boys 13-15 title
In the Boys 13-15 division, Jeffrey Miller of Phoenix, AZ (2017) fired a final round of 2 under par 70 to finish at 149 and win by 2 shots over Harrison Holetz of Incline Village, NV (2015). Thirteen year old Miller won twice last season at the 11-13 division: here at Wigwam and again at Mission Hills. This was his first FCWT junior golf tournament win at the 13-15 division. Fourteen year old Harrison earned his best finish of the season. The FCWT rookie entered this tournament with a tie for 7th finish at the FCWT Coyote Creek tournament and a tie for 4th finish at the FCWT Bayonet and Black tournament last weekend. A win should be coming in the near future for this young man. Three players finished tied for 3rd including the Round One co-leaders, Benjamin Albin of Santa Fe, NM (2015) and Eddie Wajda III of Brookfield, WI (2014). Also finishing tied for 3rd at 156 was Chris Korte of Highlands Ranch, CO (2014).
Sabrine Garrison
Garrison grabs girls title
In the Girls 13-18 division, Sabrine Garrison of Calgary, CANADA (2014) earned her first FCWT tournament win with a tournament total of 157. Previously this season, fifteen-year-old Sabrine finished in second place at the FCWT Mission Hills tournament in December. Seventeen year old Brittany Whatley of Las Vegas, NV (2012) finished in 2nd place followed by Sarah Thomas of Henderson, NV (2013) in third. Sabrine’s 21 pars led this division while Rachel Lewis of Gig Harbor, WA (2012) led the girls in birdies with 4.
