Pennson Badgett of Pilot Mountain and his coach, Brad Luebchow of Lewisville, shot 4-under-par 68 Sunday to win the CGA Pro-Junior Championship at Old North State Club by one stroke over four teams. Luebchow, the teaching professional at Maple Chase Country Club, is Badgett’s instructor.
Badgett, No. 5 in the American Junior Golf Association’s boys rankings, tied for fifth in July at the AJGA’s Wyndham Junior at Sedgefield Country Club before winning at Bethpage Black in the RLX Ralph Lauren Junior Classic, the AJGA’s only boys’ match play tournament.
In the modified alternate-shot format, teams played their partner’s tee shot then played alternate shot the rest of the hole.
Adam Stephenson and Hank Haselwood, a Winston-Salem team, was one of the teams to tie at 69.
