Huntington – The early edge at the 2023 W.Va. Junior Amateur Tournament played at Guyan Golf & Country Club goes to a pair of local players.
Jack Michael from Huntington and Taylor Sargent from Milton hold the lead on the boys and girls side, respectively, at the conclusion of day one.
The final round will be played Tuesday.
Sargent holds a two-shot advantage over Kerri-Anne Cook from Oceana, while Michael was one stroke better than Adam Gill from Wheeling and Scott Depot’s Jackson Woodburn.
Birdies on holes 14 and 16, her second and third of the round, helped Sargent shoot a 73 for the day.
Cook played solid making 14 pars, but could not get a birdie to drop on day one and finished with a round of 75.
Defending champion Savannah Hawkins is in third place after shooting 81 and Marra Johnson is fourth after an round of 84.
Playing on his home course, Michael shot even par with two birdies off-setting two bogeys. Gill tallied three birdies, but four bogeys resulted in a 72 for the Wheeling native.
Woodburn had the most birdies on day one with five, but a spectacular round was cut short by a double bogey on hole No. 11 and four bogeys.
Woodrow Wilson rising senior Jonah Willson leads the local golfers after day one with a round 78, seven shots back of the lead.
Ben Marsh from Nicholas County and former Shady Spring standout Tanner Vest shot 80 Monday morning.
