AJGA FUTURELINKS JUNIOR AT WHISTLER
Whistler Golf Club
Whistler, British Columbia
August 20-23, 2001
TWO FIRST-TIMERS GRAB WINS AT FUTURELINKS
JUNIOR AT WHISTLER
Vallely and Svicarovich grab first AJGA victories
during rain-shortened 45-hole event
WHISTLER, B.C.--Ryan Vallely of
Lethbridge, Alberta carded an even-par 35 to cruise
to his first AJGA victory at the FutureLinks Junior
at Whistler. Kristen Svicarovich of Hillsboro, Ore.,
fired an even-par 71 second round and an even-par 36
front nine in the final round to win the title in the
Girls Division.
The AJGA FutureLinks Junior at Whistler featured 84
of the top junior golfers, ages 13-18, representing
10 states and four Canadian provinces. Thirty-three
juniors from Canada and three honorable mention Polo
Golf Junior All-Americans are included in the field.
Vallely, a member of the Canadian Junior Team and No.
4 ranked golfer in the Bank of Montreal Order of Merit,
tallied one birdie and one bogey during his even-par
35 round.
"I didn't hit the ball well yesterday," the
18-year-old said. "The (18 hour rain delay) gave
me an opportunity to call my coach and figure out how
to win this tournament."
Vallely's coach couldn't do anything about the continuous
down pours at the Whistler Golf Club, but that may have
been what helped Vallely through the tournament.
"I don't have a problem playing in these kind
of conditions," Vallely, who had tournament rounds
of 68-71-35--174, said. "The rain made the greens
run slower, but you were still getting a true roll which
allowed me to be more aggressive on birdie putts."
Vallely, who has not yet signed with a university,
is ecstatic about winning his first AJGA appearance.
"I felt good coming in and knew if my putts dropped
I would be fine and winning my first and last AJGA event
is awesome," Vallely said.
Dustin Frontis of Yakima, Wash., and Zack Miller of
San Rafael, Calif., tied for second-place, four strokes
back at 1-over-par 178. Ryan Keeney of Redmond, Wash.,
and Kyle Patterson of Mukilteo, Wash., tied for fourth
at 2-over-par 179.
In the Girls Division, Svicarovich, who was playing
in her first AJGA event, had rounds of 78-71-36-- 185
for her first victory.
"After my 71 round, I just wanted to stay mentally
strong," the 16-year-old said. "I wanted to
come out and hit fairways, greens and two-putt."
Svicarovich, who qualified for the AJGA FutureLinks
Junior at Whistler through an impressive resume that
included appearances in the US Girls Amateur and two
years with the Junior Girls American Cup, parred all
nine holes during the final round.
"It feels great to get a win like this,"
Svicarovich said. "I owe a lot to my golf coach
and my parents.
"My Dad taught me to play and it makes me feel
comfortable with him here."
Finishing in second-place of the Girls Division is
Eom Ji Park of Vancouver, B.C., with tournament rounds
of 77-78-35 for a three-day total of 190. Dannielle
Renner of Coaldale, Alberta, tallied rounds of 80-77-41
for a 198 total, good for third place.
