Henry Do is Named Second Team AJGA All American

    

     All I know is that if Henry Do of Ypsilanti  is only a second team All American the other golfers on the list must be out of this world. Do is the repeat winner of the Randy Wise Junior Open at Warwick Hills and still has more golf to play on the AJGA. The list of honors for Do is impressive as he was invited to play in The Junior Player Championship at TPC Sawgrass at Ponte Verde Florida and his list of accomplishments this year are impressive. Do can be mentioned in the same sentence as Phil Mickelson as he is the first Champion to repeat as a defending champion since the lefty did the trick in 1987 and 1988.The Ypsilanti native also won the Division 4 MHSAA State Championships, achieved a win at the Michigan Junior Amateur, and a runner-up finish at the AJGA’s Rolex Tournament of Champions. Henry is a junior at Ann Arbor Greenhills, and finished this season No. 21 in the Polo Golf Rankings. The ranking are compiled from teams  made up of 96 junior golfers, ages 13-19, from 24 states and eight foreign countries (Argentina, Colombia, China, France, Japan, Mexico, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago).

The prestigous honor has been paved by players currently on the PGA and LPGA Tours. Of the top 10 players in the PGA TOUR’s FedEx Cup, Bill Haas, Webb Simpson, Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, Brandt Snedeker and Chez Reavie each earned Rolex Junior All-America honors during their junior golf careers, while Mahan was Rolex Junior Player of the Year in 1999.

On the LPGA Tour, Paula Creamer, Brittany Lincicome and Cristie Kerr were named Rolex Junior All-Americans as junior golfers before working their way to the top of the pay-for-play ranks. Other notable AJGA alumni who help make up the list of past Rolex Junior All-Americans include Phil Mickelson, Trevor Immelman, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Bubba Watson, Morgan Pressel, In-Bee Park, Brittany Lang, Alexis Thompson and Vicky Hurst.
