Michelle Goes Bang at Wentworth Falls
(2:45pm - Sunday 12th December 2021)
Michelle Bang (Concord) has run away with the Girls Division of the 2021 Blue Mountains Junior Masters, firing an incredible second round seven under 67.
After starting on the 11th hole in Sunday's 2-Tee start, Bang made five birdies in her first eight holes to take charge of the tournament. The 15 Year Old from Concord kept the foot down, making another birdie as well as her second eagle of the tournament on the front nine to defeat recent NSW Junior Champion Ann Jang (Toukley) by five shots.
Amy Squires (Horizons) finished five shots back in third position with Grace Lee (Concord) rounding out the top four. Camilla Casafus (12 & 13 Years) and Camilla Kim (11 Years & Under) claimed the age division titles, Kim winning by a record 43 shots.
Overnight leader Max Fischer (Bonnie Doon) secured his first JNJG Masters title, making a birdie on the second playoff hole to defeat Coopar Nianios (Wollongong) in the Boys Division.
Fischer had a chance to win in regulation, his birdie putt sliding right by the edge. But the impressive 15 year old re-grouped, getting up and down from over the back of the green on the first playoff hole before almost driving the green on the 18th and getting up and down for birdie and the title. Nianios picked up the Boys 16 Years and Over Division, with Ian Kim (12 & 13 Years) and Harrison Preece (11 Years and Under) also claiming age divisional victories.

(10:00am - Saturday 11th December 2021)
One could be forgiven for thinking it was the middle of winter with how cold the conditions were but that didn’t slow almost 100 juniors down with some impressive scoring on the tight and tricky Wentworth Falls layout.
The course was in fantastic condition given almost 75mm of rain has fallen on the course in the last week, with Max Fischer (Bonnie Doon GC) leading the Boys Division after an opening round of 69 (-1). His round consisted of three birdies and two bogies giving him a three shot lead over Kade Webber (Stonecutters Ridge GC), Cooper Nianios (Wollongong GC) and Ian Kim (Ryde Parramatta GC) who fired matching rounds of 72 (+2). The lead boys group will tee off at 10:00am on Sunday morning.
The Girls Division is extremely close after four standout performances on Saturday afternoon. Concord pair Grace Lee and Michelle Bang share the lead after impressive rounds of even par 74 in the difficult conditions. Lee will be beaming with confidence heading into the final round after just this week becoming the 16 Years JNJG State Age Champion, though talented duo Amy Squires (Horizons GC) and recently crowned NSW Junior Champion Ann Jang (Toukley GC) sit only one shot back at one over par. The lead girls group will tee off at 10:09am on Sunday morning.
Harrison Preece (The Vintage) and Camilla Kim (Lynwood) lead the 11 Years and Under Division, with Leonardo Gozzo (Beverely Park GC) also impressing on the opening day to lead the Boys 11 Years and Under Nett division with a 67.
