Delarosa, Givens Capture Boys and Girls 14 and Under Divisions at Texas Junior Amateur
KINGWOOD— Ben Delarosa of Dallas fired a 3-under par 69 in the final round to win the Boys 14 & Under Division. Austin’s Sydney Givens made six birdies in her final round to win the Girls 14 & Under Division by three strokes at 8-over for the tournament.
Frisco’s Henry Frizzell is leading the Boys Division at 6-under for the tournament. Nicole Vivier of Austin and Christine Wang of Houston are tied atop the leaderboard for the Girls Division at 4-over for the tournament.
Delarosa started the final round five strokes behind the leader, but closed the gap quickly. He was 3-under through 12 holes and despite making a bogey on his 13th hole, Delarosa was able to birdie the signature 18th hole to finish at 3-under for the day and 1-under for the tournament.
Aaron Pounds of The Woodlands finished three strokes back of Delarosa at 1-over par for the tournament. Pounds’ final round even-par 72 was steady and included two bogeys and two birdies. Daniel Zou of The Woodlands shot a final round 4-over 76 to finish in third place at 3-over for the tournament.
In the Girls 14 & Under Division Givens finished atop the leaderboard with a final round scorecard full of birdies. She was even through seven holes, but ran into trouble on holes 17 and 18 causing her to make the turn at 6-over par for the day. Givens never gave up and made four birdies on the front nine, her back nine, bringing her back to 2-over for the day and three strokes ahead of the field.
Katy’s Maye Huang shot a final round 5-over 77 to finish in second place. Avery Owen of Dallas and Rylie Cerny of Kingwood both finished tied for third with a tournament total of 17-over par.
The Texas Junior Amateur is a prestigious junior event with past champions in the Boys 14 & Under Division like 3-time major champion Jordan Spieth who won in 2007, Oklahoma State University stand-out Stratton Nolen who won in 2009, Oklahoma University Sooner Garrett Reband the 2013 champion, and University of Texas sophomore Parker Coody who won in 2014.
The Girls 14 & Under Division also has a list full of successful past champions, including the 2008 champion Grace Choi who went on to win the Women’s State Amateur in 2016, A&M University stand-out Courtney Dow who won in 2010, and the 2011 champion Kaitlyn Papp who was declared the 2018 Big 12 Freshman of the Year.
In the Boys Division Frizzell started the day two shots behind the leader, but soared up the leaderboard with a 3-under 69 in the second round. He had four birdies and a lone bogey, which put him at 6-under par for the tournament and one shot ahead of the field.
Richmond’s Stephen Campbell Jr. and Zach Heffernan of Fair Oaks Ranch are tied for second at 5-under, one shot behind the leader. Three players are tied for fourth at 3-under par.
In the Girls Division Vivier shot a 3-over 75 after starting out with a birdie on her third hole, bringing her to 4-over for the tournament. Wang is also at 4-over for the tournament after shooting a 2-over 74 with two birdies.
The Boys Division was cut to the low 45 players and ties, which was 49 total players. The Girls Division was cut to the low 27 players following the second round.
