MOULTON LEADS THE WAY AT AJGA FUTURELINKS
JUNIOR AT DEER CREEK Sadekar grabs lead in Girls Division
AJAX, Ontario - Brad Moulton of Orangeville,
Ontario, fired a 3-under-par 68 to sit atop the leaderboard
after the first round of the AJGA FutureLinks Junior
at Deer Creek. Seema Sadekar of Stouffville, Ontario,
carded a 3-over-par 74 to secure the lead in the Girls
Division.
The 54-hole event, conducted by the American Junior
Golf Association and FutureLinks, is being held at the
Deer Creek Golf & Country Estates, Ruby & Diamond
courses. This is the first year of partnership between
the AJGA - the United States' premier junior golf organization
- and FutureLinks - Canada's blossoming national junior
golf program. The field features 99 players from Canada,
the United States and Bermuda, including 65 players
from Ontario.
Moulton set the tone early with a birdie on No.1 and
a par on the difficult 209-yard, par-3 second hole.
"That's always a good start," Moulton said.
"Getting the par on No.2 was good because that's
a tough hole."
The 17-year-old continued to make par until he added
another birdie on No. 7 to move to 2-under-par on the
front side. Moulton negated a bogey on No. 12 with two
birdies on the back nine including one on the 531-yard,
par-5 18th hole to secure a three-shot lead heading
into the second round.
"I hope to play solid tomorrow," said Moulton,
who hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation. "I don't
want to waste this good round with a bad round. There
are lots of tough holes, so you can get in trouble easily."
Daniel Kreindler of Danville, Calif., is three shots
back at 34-37--71. Justin Bratkovich of Hamilton, Ontario;
Andrew Parr of London, Ontario; Andrew Gallo of Thornhill,
Ontario, and Jesse Dixon of Ann Arbor, Mich., are tied
in third place at 1-over-par 72.
In the Girls Division, Sadekar's strategy of smart
and safe paid off as she saved par on 15 of 18 holes
and rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 356-yard,
par-4 11th hole for a 38-36--74.
"I felt like I could do well today if I kept the
driver in the bag," Sadekar said. "I need
to keep making good decisions. Smart and consistent
can win on this course."
Erica Deschamps of Blind River, Ontario, holed an ace
on the 144-yard, par-3 fourth hole and is four strokes
back at 37-41--78. Erica Dahl of Fargo, N.D., and Eunice
Yum of Torrance, Calif., are in third place at 81.
Second-round action begins Thursday at 7 a.m. For more
