Event Recap:

Spring Break in the Austin area was a busy one as the TJGT joined SXSW to invade the state capital for two days of good weather for golf.  With temperatures in the mid 70’s and overcast skies players were able to attack the one-time stop of the Senior and LPGA tour.  Foster Givens (Austin, TX) fired the round of the day on Day 1 bringing in a score of 71 to lead the older Boys division by 3 strokes overnight.  In the Girls division Caroline Zerbe (College Station) had the round of the day carding a 77 to take a 7-shot lead into day 2.  Colin Malloch (Chappell Hill) led the Boys 11-14 year old division with a 77 on day one.

Day 2 saw clouds overhead as the rain held off and the course played in great shape for the golfers.  Foster Given (Austin, TX) held on to capture the Boys 15-18 Title with a final round 77 holding off Tommy Parker (Argyle, TX) who had the round of day at 73 to finish just one shot back.  Caroline Zerbe also held on to the overall Girls title to take home the 4 AJGA stars that were up for grabs.
