The International Junior Golf Tour hosted the 5th Annual Hank Haney Invitational last weekend, a two-day, 36-hole event at Sea Pines Resort (Hilton Head Island, S.C.).
In the Boys Under 14 Division, William Thomson (Pittsford, NY) posted rounds of 70 and 79 to edge Hank Haney IJGA student Tennoshin Ogawa (Ichinomiya-shi, Japan) by two strokes. William has played in six IJGT events this fall with two wins and three second place finishes.
The IJGT offers close to 50 two-and three-day events throughout the U.S. each year for ages 9-19. IJGT members represent 45 U.S. states and 43 countries and alumni include Webb Simpson, Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan, Paula Creamer and other PGA and LPGA Tour players.
