Each week, the AJGA honors one boy and one girl at every AJGA tournament who shoot the low final-round score. Below we hear from players at recent events as they recount the defining moment of their round.
"When I birdied Nos. 4 and 5, it got me going and I just kept making pars," said Noah West, who posted a 3-under-par 68. "The key part was my putting today."
I played very consistent today. I was straight off the tee and I birdied two of the three par-5s," said Janie Jackson after carding a 2-under-par 69 to finish in third place. "It was an overall good day. I made a bunch of pars and I was hitting good approach shots and one-putting a lot of them.

"I started off with birdies on my first
two holes which gave me a lot of confidence going in, said Boys Division
champion, Nicholas Scott. I felt pretty good about my swing and my game."
"I hit eight greens on the front and six or seven on the back
so those moments really helped me shoot a 71 today, said Connor Tendall after
his 1-under-par round.
"After I bogeyed the second hole I birdied the third and fifth hole, said Juliet Vongphoumy, who posted a 1-under-par 71 to claim her first AJGA title. On No. 3 my putt was uphill about 10 feet and made it. On No. 5 my second shot was in the rough, but I hit my next shot within 10 feet. It was good after I had a bad hole to bounce back."
