Koepka: How Junior Golf is Done!

Chase Koepka, playing in the last tournament of his junior career started the day three strokes back and two-over-par. Before he started he told his friend Ashlan Ramsey, “Let’s get it done.”

Chase posted the second lowest round of the day, a one-over-par 72. The key point in the round was a clutch up-and-down on Harbour Town’s waterfront 18th.

That was good enough to  join a three-way playoff that he won on the first extra hole with a par. Chase reflected, “How better way to go out? On top, winning one of the best junior tournaments in the country.”

We could not agree more.

Ashlan used blinders to claim the 2012 Ladies’ title!

Ashlan Ramsey, a Junior out of Milledgeville, GA, was eight strokes back with 10 holes left. The last time she looked at the leaderboard, first round leader Bryana Nguyen was three-under-par for the day and eight strokes ahead.

Ashlan turned to her back nine with one goal, just play well for herself. That she did with a one-under-par 35 on Harbour Town’s front nine; all pars with a lone birdie on the par-three forth.

She never looked at a leaderboard and did not know she won until she walked off the last hole. As she reflected, it was “an unexpected surprise.”
