On Saturday, August 1, Lunden Esterline carded an even-par 71 in the final round of the Junior PGA Championship to lift the title. The 13-year-old Andover native finished at 19-under to post a whopping six-stroke win over Giuseppe Puebla and Tyler Mawhinney.
Esterline entered the Ackerman-Allen for the final round with a commanding seven-stroke lead. It looked all but confirmed that he would seal the title, as it would have taken both a slump on his part and a heroic effort from others to dethrone him.
Lunden Esterline played his worst round at the Junior PGA Championship this week, with three birdies and three bogeys. However, the closest players, like Charlie Woods and Pennson Badgett, also failed to do anything impressive. While Badgett tied for 4th at 12-under, Woods finished at T9.
Speaking of the girls' section, Asterisk Talley carded an even-par 71 to claim the Junior PGA Championship. Following the final round, she finished at 12-under and posted a one-shot win over Zoe Cusack, who shot 70. Ying Xu, Cienna Lee, and Anna Fang tied for third at 9-under.
