Andrew Tan fired a 5-over 76 at the Ben Crenshaw Junior.
Less than two weeks after the best amateur players in the area took on “Muny” for the 72nd annual Firecracker Open, some of the area’s top juniors got their chance to do so in the Ben Crenshaw Junior.
The highlight of the day on Wednesday at Lions Municipal Golf Course was Andrew Tan, who fired an impressive 5-over 76 to win the boys’ 13-15 division by four shots. Tan was the only one in the flight to break 80, and he made his lone birdie of the day at the par-4 10th.
