O'Mahony, playing in his last AJGA event before he heads to the University of South Florida in the fall, lead wire-to-wire, carding rounds of 66-65-70-201. He entered the round with the goal of hitting fourteen fairways and eighteen greens and even though he did not do that, he still managed 4 birdies, including a 40-footer on No. 9. "Today I did not get ahead of myself and I just took it one swing at a time," the 17-year-old O'Mahony said. "I did not make any mental mistakes. "I really like this course and every tee shot sets up for me perfectly. The greens were in great shape and the golf course was unbelievable all week." |
The victory was the 1st national win for O'Mahony, who's previous best finish in an AJGA event was a tie for 17th at the PING Junior at Mirasol earlier this summer.
"This win gives me a lot of confidence going into my next event and starting college," O'Mahony said. "It's great to know that I can compete with the top juniors in the world."
Finishing in a tie for 2nd was Will Shambley of Cary, N.C., and Hayes Brown of Atlanta at 212. Rounding out the top 5 in a tie for fourth place at 213 was Peter Malnati of Dandridge, Tenn.; Michael Muscatell of Lake Wylie, S.C.; and David Holzworth of Chapel Hill, N.C.
In the Girls Division, Crawford carded 6 birdies en route to a five under par sixty-seven and a tournament total of 2-under-par 214. She birdied Nos. nine and ten and made a twenty footer for par on No. 11 to gain momentum on the back nine.
"I hit the ball pretty well to give myself birdie opportunities and I was able to make the putts," the 18-year-old Wake Forest signer said. "After Nos. 9-11, I just kept the momentum going from that and I tried to focus on making pars. This tournament showed me what I can do when I make putts, which will help in college."
Crawford's previous best finish was second at the Hargray Junior Classic earlier this month and she finished 3rd at the Golf Pride Junior Classic in 2003.
"This win feels good," Crawford said. "This is one of my last junior events and to shoot sixty-seven, my lowest tournament round, feels great."
Finishing 5 strokes back at 219 for 2nd place was Dori Carter of Valdosta, Ga., while Angela King of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., was third with a 221 total.
