North Coast Junior Tour – Sand Ridge Junior I
7/12-13/2021- Sand Ridge Golf Club
Par 72, 6330 Yards

Boys 16-19

Antonio Bodziony (Mentor) wins the Boys 16-19 division at Sand Ridge shooting 66-69–135 (-9). This was Antonio’s career low on tour and, he and the entire field had to play through some of the worst rain and wind we have seen on tour in years. Antonio, who plays for Lake Erie College, played two really solid rounds of golf, going bogey free for both days (even with a lost ball on #18 in round 1). He made a total of 9 birdies for the two days. Liam Ottaway (Pepper Pike) finished 2nd place shooting 69-72–141 (-3). Liam, who will be attending Rollins College this fall, kept the pressure on Antonio and cut the lead to 2 after making eagle on the par five 6th hole in round two. Antonio’s bogey-free march kept Liam at bay as he pulled away on the back 9. Jude Abbass (Aurora) finished 3rd place with a score of 74-71–145 (+1). Jude played well, making 4 birdies and a lot of pars.

Boys 15 & Under

Charlie Pollock (Chagrin Falls) wins the Boys 15 & Under division at Sand Ridge with a score of 74-81–155 (+11). Charlie didn’t make many mistakes throughout his rounds, which let him hold a steady lead over the rest of the field. He made a total of 4 birdies and that was enough to hold off Parker Barrett (Aurora) who finished 2nd place with a score of 83-76–159 (+15). Parker’s round of 83 included two holes with Wrong Scores which cost him 3 strokes in total. Both of the Wrong Scores signed for were higher than actually taken, and the higher score for the hole stands under Rule 3.3b. Reading off scores oppose to using your tab to visibly check scores was the cause of the error once again. We have had more than 100 Wrong Scores over the 30 year history of NCJT and 99% of the time ‘reading off scores to each other after the round has been the key link to making this mistake”. Parker is one of the few who survived Rule 3.3b, most sign for a lower score and they become Disqualified. Sven Nielson (Chagrin Falls) finished 3rd place with a score of 78-81–159 (+15).

Girls 19 & Under

Zoey Stern (Greenville,PA) wins the Girls 19 & Under division with a score of 83-87–170 (+26). Zoey had a good first day, making two birdies for her round and that was enough to hold a big lead and secure 1st place. Gracyn Vidovic (Reminderville) finished 2nd place with a score of 90-92–182 (+38).

Drew Torzok (Kirtland) was selected as the winner of the Denny Spaulding Golf Scholarship at the JR-4AM Scholarship Golf Classic at Sand Ridge on July 8th, 2021. Drew earned a $1,500 scholarship for being an outstanding student, a good tournament player and an all around great person. We are very proud of Drew and wish him well on his promising future.

The weather won the JR-4AM competition. The event started on time at 10 AM, but after 6 holes Sand Ridge was under thunderstorms and rain delays. At 1pm the chef had a great BBQ cookout ready for the field. After the delicious meal the field resumed play, but it was short lived… 2 holes later the sky’s were dark again and heavy rain washed out the remainder of the day. At the time the team leader was Team Stickler: Mike Stickler, Greg Eterovich, Thomas Wong, Ella Wong and Matt Blumenthal (JR), they were 7 under thru 8 holes. Three teams were at 6 under when it ended. The junior leader was Antonio Bodziony, who stood 1 under thru 8 holes. Dominik Cosic and Charlie Pollock were even par thru 8 holes too, so the competition in all divisions was lining up to be a good one.

Boys 16-19 Division

Antonio Bodziony defeated Jackson Stover (4&3) in the finals of the Boys 16-19 division. Antonio birdied #1 and Jackson birdie #2 to set the tone. On the fourth hole things started to unravel for Jackson, he three putted the 4th, hit OB on the #5, lost to a birdie on #6, three putted again on #7 and bogeyed #8 to lose five in a row to Antonio. Jackson won the next two holes to cut the lead to 3. They both birdied their 11th hole of the day. Antonio was able to move the lead back to 4 up with 5 to play. Jackson evenually ran out of holes and lost the match 4&3. This was Antonio’s second Match Play Championship.

Boys 15 & Under

Drew Torzok defeated Sven Nielsen (2&1) in the finals of the Boys 15 & Under division. This was a competitive match with plenty of fairways and greens hit by the two. Every hole came down to who can make their putt. Drew was 2 up with two to play and hit his second shot over the green on hole #8 (17th of the match), while Sven was eyeing a 10 foot birdie putt. Drew had a great chip from a tough spot over the green and sunk about a 3 foot putt to win the championship. That was a great performance by Drew!

Girls 19 & Under Division

Molly McGreal defeated Gracyn Vidovic (6&5) in the finals of the Girls 19 & Under division. Molly got off to a great start and a big lead in the final match. Gracyn fought hard to keep the match going, but it wasnt enough.
