Top 50 Junior Tour Pays a Visit to Mystic Creek

   If absense makes the heart grow fonder than it speaks volumes at the Top 50 Junior Tour held at Mystic Creek in Milford. The tour is coming down to its final events of the 2011 season and none of the top players on the points list appeared in both the 16 to 18 and 12 to 15 age divisions. For those that participated it was a chance to earn a tour title and for Dooley Preston of Novi, Michigan he led the 16 to 18 age division with a one over par 71 at the 6196 yard layout on Sunday, September 11th. Preston fired a three over 39 on the front nine with bogeys on each of the first four holes before making par on the 211 yard par three 6th where he made birdie and parred out. While Preston started out the front nine with less than a stellar three over par start, he made par after par and sprinkled in two birdies on holes 13 and 18 which is a par three and five respectively. The major competition for Preston came from Tyler Lewis of Ortonville. Lewis also started off his front nine poorly with bogeys on four of the first six holes but his double bogey on the 355 yard par four 8th gave him a 42 on the front, six over for the round. Preston made birdie on the 11th hole but parred out for a one under 35 on the backside. He hoped for a combination of more birdies and perhaps a faltering round from Dooley but it was not to be. The top players on the 16 to age 18 tour will set their sites on later competition. Jamie Cattran of Troy leads all golfers in the age 16 to 18 tour with a wide 136 point lead over Patrick Miller of Howell and James Van Noord  of Rochester Hills. The Top 50 Junior Tour meets next tour meets next at Twin Lakes in Oakland Township.    <>
