The first-team Rolex Junior All-American adds these championships to three prior victories at the Thunderbird International Junior, 2003 FootJoy Boys Invitational and the U.S. Junior Amateur. He recently competed with a sponsor’s exemption in his first PGA TOUR event at the MCI Heritage.

Patton Kizzire of Tuscaloosa, Ala., seized the second-place position with 605 points. The first-team Rolex Junior All-American has cleared victories at the 2004 TaylorMade-adidas Golf Junior at Chateau Elan and at the 2003 Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Junior Classic. This will be Kizzire’s last season with the AJGA as he leaves to play for Auburn University in the fall.

Coasting into the third slot at 493 points is Webb Simpson of Raleigh, N.C. The first-team Rolex Junior All-American tied for second at this season’s Thunderbird International Junior and finished in a tie for fourth at MCI Junior Heritage. The Wake Forest signee claimed his first victory with the AJGA at the prestigious Rolex Tournament of Champions in 2001; he shadowed the win with a victory at the Scott Robertson Memorial the following season.

Consistency has been the name of the game for Jon McLean of Weston, Fla., this year as he holds the fourth position on the Canon Cup East Team. With instructions coming from his father, Jim McLean, one of three top golf instructors in the world, young McLean is primed to end this season with a bang after ties for second place at FootJoy Boys Invitational, third place at the Dunlop Carolina Junior and fourth at the Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship.

Holding down the fifth slot is George Gandranata of Bradenton, Fla. The third-team Rolex Junior All-American tied for second place at the Thunderbird International Junior with his teammates, McLean and Robert Gates Jr. of Gainsville, Fla. Gandranata has earned 10 top-10 finishes in his AJGA career with three second-place finishes in 2003 at the First American Title Avila Junior, HP Boys Junior Championship and at the Greater Hartford Jaycees Junior.

David May of Auburn, N.Y., honed in on sixth place with 320 points. The honorable mention Rolex Junior All-American has done well this season, nailing a victory at the Randall Parker Shootout at Fieldstone and arriving at the quarterfinals of the Polo Golf Junior Classic before losing to Philip Francis of Scottsdale, Ariz. May won his first event last season at the AJGA Jeffery M. Isner Memorial Junior at New Seabury.

Seven may turn out to be Pinehurst, N.C., native Robert Riesen’s lucky number as he retains the seventh seat on the team with 318 points. However, four has been Riesen’s consistent number this season finishing in fourth place at both the PING Junior at Mirasol and PING Indianapolis Junior. Last season he claimed his first victory at the Polo Golf Junior Classic declaring to the junior golf world that he has what it takes to become number one.

Following Riesen at 285 points is Noah Goldman of Longwood, Fla. The honorable mention Rolex Junior All-American earned his first victory with the AJGA last season at the Abacoa Junior Classic. In 2004 he consistently rounded out the top-20 standings and took a fourth-place finish at the Subaru Open at Andover.

Trailing Goldman is Robert Gates Jr. of Gainesville, Fla., as one of two captain’s picks. The second-team Rolex Junior All-American tied for second at this year’s Thunderbird International Junior with two of his fellow East teammates. Gates finished in the quarterfinals of the Polo Golf Junior Classic before losing to Christopher Anderson of Lake Mary, Fla.

Filling out the ranks with the second captain’s pick, Jarred Texter of Millersville, Pa. Texter placed second at this year’s Rolex Tournament of Champions and tied for 10th at FootJoy Boys Invitational. Last season he tied for second-place at Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior and finished with a tie for tenth at the FootJoy Boys Invitational.
