The
Winn Junior Cup Challenge will once again kick off the American Junior Golf
Association’s 2013 schedule, as the event returns to Rio Secco Golf Club in
Henderson, Nev., Jan. 11-13. The third-annual event will feature eight of the
nation’s top junior golfers competing with legendary swing coach Butch Harmon
and LPGA Tour player Natalie Gulbis. The East versus West battle pairs the top
two boys and girls from East of the Mississippi River against their
counterparts from West of the Mississippi.
The
two-day championship will be decided by number of accrued points. Last year,
the West squad, featuring four Rolex Junior All-Americans in Brad Dalke, Alison
Lee, AJ McInerney and Gabriella Then, pulled off a pair of late wins in the
singles matches to take home the title with a final score of 16-13.
The
competition will begin with a nine-hole, two-person scramble on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Saturday will also include nine holes of four-ball match play in addition to
chipping and putting challenges. Sunday, Jan. 13, will feature 18 holes of
singles match play. The team that accumulates the most points over the two-day
competition will be the champions and will be recognized at a 2:50 p.m. awards
ceremony.
