Tournament Director Brian Morris said, “What an awesome day for Junior Golf and Ocean View Golf Course. We had many spectators encouraging the kids around the course which was long and hot. To their credit, they stuck it out and everyone managed to finish. What a lot of talent we have. These kids need to play more and get themselves in this environment a lot more. Then you will see the scores drop and the standard raise. Today was a lot of nerves as the majority of these kids haven't played that much competitive golf. I am going to do my best through Ocean View which they do. I am looking forward to tomorrow and encourage anyone to come up and cheer these kids on. Its gonna be exciting.”
