More than 130 competitors took part in the latest two rounds of the Crunch&Sip Junior Tour during the April school holidays.
Perth’s Indian Summer ensured glorious playing conditions at both events, which were staged at Rockingham and Nedlands Golf Clubs respectively.
Rockingham hosted 72 competitors (44 boys and 28 girls), with juniors contesting four categories based on their level of skill and experience.
Serial winner Jenna Phoon landed the Stableford top prize, amassing 21 points from nine holes to lead home Lynn Suh and Sean Wu by three points. It was even closer in the Modified Stroke category, with Jonas Bobusic edging Max Beaton on a countback after both played nine holes in 49 shots.
In the shortened Tiger Tees format, Charlie Biddle won the nine-hole event, with Adem Dali winning the five-hole event on a countback from Evan Lee.
