The Top 50 Junior Tour held their final singles event at Fieldstone Golf Club in Auburn Hills and a beautiful day with temperatures in the 70's resulted with only one golfer shooting a tournament best 79 which was good enough for the victory. Andrew Lange of Clarkston carded a seven over 79 based on the strength of two birdies mixed in with with nine bogeys on the Arthur Hills design which is both beautiful and demanding for golfers. Lange's birdies were on the severe dog leg par four 11th and the 330 yard par four 18th which many players can use as a dart board for their second shot. Lange's victory was one shot better than Anthony Jackson II's 80. Jackson carded twelve pars but two double bogeys on number three and number 18 swung the tournament back to the victor. Lange is now 6th in Tour points going into Best Ball play next weekend at Katke Cousins.
The boys twelve to 15 age division produced the low round of the day as Evan Chipman of XX pulled together a six over 78 at Fieldstone with a birdie on the 253 yard par four 16th with a long carry over the fescues. Chipman earned 11 pars and five bogeys and avoided a the big score. Kyle Melnick carded a one over 37 on the front nine and was leading the tournament in his age group at the turn. A double bogey on the par three 12th surrounded by woods to the left and right and water in front pushed Melnick back but his second double bogey on the 16th where Chipman birdied was the turnabout event of this tournament and left Chipman with two holes to recover but he sealed the event.
