3rd VSGA YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP
AT INDEPENDENCE GOLF CLUB A SUCCESS
MIDLOTHIAN –– Forest’s Zachary Bauchou, 13, shot a final round 3-under-par 69 to win the 12-13 year-old boys division as the 3rd Virginia State Golf Association Youth Championship concluded today at Independence Golf Club. The event included boys and girls, ages 13-and-under.
After firing a first day score of 8-under 144, Bauchou completed play at 11-under 133 to win the 12-13 age division by six shots.
Bauchou was the only participant to shoot two rounds in the 60s. Twelve-year-old central Virginian Mark Lawrence Jr. of Richmond finished second at 5-under 139 following a final round score of even-par 72 in the rainy conditions. Roanoke’s Drew Lagan had a second day 2-under 70 and placed third (141, -3).
The scores shot by Bauchou and Lawrence were best-ever 36-hole scoring marks in the brief history of the event.
The 12-13 age division was also highlighted by 13-year-old Gunar Frazier (Pearisburg) scoring a hole-in-one at the par-3 147-yard seventh hole using a hybrid-4. Frazier, an eighth grader at Giles High, scored his first hole-in-one.
