HINES COMPLETES UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Lawnin victorious in rain-shortened event

BOERNE, TEXAS - On a day in which Mother Nature wreaked havoc in the skies above Tapatio Springs Golf Resort, Caney Hines of nearby San Antonio, Texas came back from a 2-shot deficit to win the Randall Parker San Antonio Shootout presented by Parker's Express.

Carter Lawnin of Kingwood, Texas was declared the winner after the boys portion of the third round was canceled because of a wave of violent thunderstorms that drenched the golf course and sent competitors and spectators fleeing for shelter. As the final pairing completed the 15th hole, a second wave of storms reared their ugly head, causing the suspension of play.

Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Randall Parker San Antonio Shootout presented by Parker's Express consisted of 120 players from 10 states, including 103 from Texas. The tournament was contested at the Lakes and Valley courses at Tapatio Springs Golf Resort. The course played to a par-71 for the boys and par-72 for the girls. Past winners of the event include Tiger Woods, who won in 1992.

Hines, who finished second in this event last year fired a 2-under-par 70 to catapult her above good friend Lauren Espinosa of Irving, Texas, who led after the second round. Espinosa carded a final-round 75, finishing three off the pace. Carling Coffing of Middletown, Ohio, shot a final-round 77, finishing in third place, 13 shots off the pace.

After struggling in the second round, Hines clawed her way back into a tie for the lead with Espinosa before catching fire on the back nine. Back-to-back birdies on the par-5 10th and par-3 11th left her three shots clear of Espinosa, and she never looked back.

"I just got ahead of myself (Thursday) so today I just tried to focus on each shot," Hines said shortly after finishing in style by making a birdie on the final hole.

After lasering a 6-iron to five feet from the hole on the par-3 11th and sinking the birdie putt, the momentum had changed for good.

"I just tried to stay focused on everything and try to finish up," Hines said. "(The tournament) is really important. I've been wanting this for a really long time so now that I finally have it, it feels great."

In the Boys Division, a potentially thrilling finish was beginning to take shape when it was determined that the violent weather and darkness would force the cancellation of the entire third round. Lawnin, as well as Dos Goldsmith of McAllen, Texas, and Ryan Kornmann of Kingwood, Texas, were deadlocked in a three-way tie for the lead when the sirens sounded.

As it became apparent that play would not resume, Lawnin was declared the winner. Although happy to earn his first AJGA title, Lawnin felt mixed emotions at the end of the day.

"It could have been anybody's tournament," Lawnin said. "It's kind of bittersweet."

As it stood, Lawnin's two-day total of 139 was good enough for a one shot victory over Goldsmith and Kornmann. Chad Follet of El Paso, Texas, finished fourth with a two-day total of 141. Tom Guillebeau of Hockessin, Del., rounded out the top five, three shots behind Lawnin.
