Brillance in the Lone Star State

Located in Bryan, about 90 minutes from Houston, Miramont is regarded as one of the elite private facilities in Texas.

A great challenge awaits competitors in the 39th Junior PGA Championship

> > > HOST CLUB

Opened in 2005 and designed by world-class golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., Miramont Country

Club is a true Texas gem.Located in Bryan, about 90

minutes from Houston, Miramont is regarded as one of the elite private facilities in Texas. Currently, it holds the 13th spot in the Golf Digest “Best-In-State Rankings” for Texas and was a Golfweek “Top 100 Residential Course” in 2010. Yet, Miramont’s aura goes well beyond its awards.

Holding true to his philosophy of incorporating golf into the character of the site, Jones was able to trans-form a plot of rolling, central Texas land into a challenging and stunning layout. A par 71 playing 7,174 yards from the back tees, Miramont offers plenty of means to make good scores with numerous hole and tee place-ments. Like many of Jones’s designs, there are numerous risk/reward opportunities that could provide a much-needed birdie or a painful dou-ble bogey.

Take the dramatic eighth hole, for instance. This par 4 is a classic, bold design that will undoubtedly tempt the field in the 39th Junior PGA Championship to take a chance at a great reward. Measuring only 325 yards, the hole features a marshy area that runs along the left side of the fairway, providing plenty of chal-lenges for the risk-takers. Those who choose to take a more conservative route deal with narrow fairway land-ing areas and treacherous bunkers. The eighth requires skillful execution and will prove to be a hole filled with drama throughout the Championship.

The ninth is a long par 4, measuring 490 yards from the back tees. It’s built for bold decision making because while the landing area is generous, bunkers and the

winding creek from the eighth hole come into play if a tee shot is way-ward, making par a tough score. However, with a second shot into a receptive green, there will be oppor-tunities for eagles and birdies.

Although eight and nine are two of the highlights, each hole at Mira-mont offers unique challenges that will surely test the competitors.

As host to the 2014 and 2015 Junior PGA Championship, Miramont Country Club will surely be a memorable venue for one of the premier events in junior golf.

Both Tyler McDaniel of Manches-ter, Ky., and Amy Lee of Brea, Calif., captured titles in thrilling fashion at the 38th Junior PGA

Championship presented by Under Armour and Hotel Fitness.

McDaniel and Lee each made Championship-clinching putts on the 72nd hole at Trump National Golf Club-Washington, D.C., to capture the Jack Nicklaus Trophy in the boys’ division and the Patty Berg Trophy in the girls’ division, respectively.

McDaniel shot 2-under-par 69 in the final round for a 10-under-par 274 total to win by one stroke over Sam Burns of Shreveport, La.

Lee, who was three shots back with three holes to play in the final round, made a dra-matic 15-foot par putt on the

18th hole to shoot 69 and win by a sin-gle stroke. Abbey Carlson of Lake Mary, Fla., the 54-hole co-leader, finished second at 280.

McDaniel, who finished eighth in the 2012 Junior PGA Championship, was overwhelmed by the victory.

“This means a lot to me after not quite getting the job done last year in this event,” said McDaniel. “This is my

first big-time, national win and it feels so good right now.”

Lee, who tied the female com-petitive course record with 67 in the third round to put herself in position to win, was equally

thrilled with the victory.“I’m excited and happy right

now,” said Lee. “This is the big-gest accomplishment I have had yet in golf and I feel honored to win this Championship. I’m a fighter and I knew I could do it.”

Showcasing Tomorrow’s StarsOne of golf’s major championships for juniors, the Junior PGA Championship is where the best in the world get their start.

Beginning in 1976 at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., the Junior PGA Championship has been a

popular stop on the national junior circuit for many of today’s PGA and LPGA touring professionals.

The Junior PGA Championship moved to Callaway Gardens in Georgia in 1978, and two years later was contested at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., which would eventually host 19 Championships over the next two decades.

The Championship also visited Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Mo., in 1988 and Pinehurst (N.C.)

Resort & Country Club in 1993.Among the great players and

achievements in the Junior PGA Championship are:

• In 1990, Vicki Goetze of Hull, Ga., became the first participant to win three Junior PGA Championships (1987, ‘89, ‘90).

• In 2002, former Junior PGA Champion Ty Tryon of Orlando, Fla., became the youngest player (age 17) to earn a PGA Tour fully exempt playing card.

• In 2005, former Junior PGA Champion Sean O’Hair (1998) and for-mer PGA Junior Series winner (1996) became the first ever to achieve PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors. There have been four LPGA Rookie of the Year honors to come from the Junior PGA Girls Champion or runner-up positions: 1985, Penny Hammel (1978 Champion); 1991, Brandi Burton (1988 Champion); 2000, Dorothy Delasin (1998 runner-up); and 2002, Beth Bauer (1997 Champion).

• David Toms, who won the 1984

Junior PGA Championship, also cap-tured the 2001 PGA Championship at The Atlanta Athletic Club in Duluth, Ga.

• Also, with her victory at the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open, In-Bee Park of Henderson, Nev., and South Korea, became the third girls’ division winner of the Junior PGA Championship to also earn a major championship. Park joined a select group that included Cristie Kerr of Scottsdale, Ariz., winner of the 1995 Junior PGA Championship and the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open; and Grace Park of Scottsdale, winner of the 1996 Junior PGA Championship and the 2004 Kraft Nabisco Champi-onship.

• In 2007, 12-year-old Lexi Thompson of Coral Springs, Fla., became the youngest champion in the history of the storied Championship.

• With his win at the 2008 Masters, Trevor Immelman became just the second boys’ division champion to also win a major championship. In addition, Immelman

(1996, from South Africa) became the second to achieve PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors.

• Thompson captured her second Junior PGA Championship, cruising to a 12-stroke triumph, one stroke off the all-time record, set by Debbie Hall in 1977.

Junior Ryder CupAn international

showcase of golf’s

next generation

Origins of the Junior Ryder Cup can be traced back to Sept. 20, 1995, when a series of exhibition matches were

conducted between Central New York PGA Section-area juniors and 12 leading European junior players. The Europeans, age 15 and younger, included Sergio Garcia. They toured three New York courses and dominated all the matches. No results were published. The inaugural Junior Ryder Cup was contested prior to the 1997 Ryder Cup in Sotogrande, Spain. The U.S. won, 7-5. In 1999, Europe returned to face the U.S. juniors, and dominated in the Boston area.

This marked the first of three straight outright Junior Ryder Cup victories for the Europeans. In 2006, however, the United States team was able to halve the Junior Ryder Cup, 6-6, when the matches were contested in Newport, Wales.

In 2012, the United States captured its third consecutive victory in the bien-nial event, at historic Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club. In 2008, the U.S. won in dominant fashion, 22-2, at The Club at Olde Stone in Bowling Green, Ky., and the Americans prevailed in 2010 after a hard-fought match at Gleneagles Resort in Scotland.

2012 Junior Ryder Cup Summary

Powered by a strong singles performance, the United States captured its third consecutive Junior Ryder Cup, 141/2 –91/2, at

Olympia Fields Country Club in sub-urban Chicago. The U.S. Team, which opened its final session with a two-point advantage, won seven of the 12 singles matches and halved another.

The United States battled to a 7-5 lead after the first day of foursomes and mixed four-balls, then sprinted out in singles on the second and final day by winning four of its first five matches.

U.S. Captain and PGA Past Presi-dent Roger Warren was overwhelmed by the entire experience of serving as the United States Captain and came away impressed with the performance of both teams.

“We are really fortunate to have won, because these teams are so evenly matched and each have such a wealth of talent,” said Warren. “We came because we wanted to com-pete and win. But in the end it was all about friendships and goodwill between the teams that made this a truly special experience.”

U.S. players Karen Chung, Esther Lee and Casie Cathrea won all three of their matches.

“It’s exciting to know that I was able to close out my first Junior Ryder Cup with three points and winning all three matches,” said Cathrea. “This whole experience has been incredible.”
