Moments after turning in the winning scorecard, Carson Baez of Windermere, Florida, was signing a souvenir Press Thornton Future Masters flag that will hang on the wall of the Dothan
After winning the 15-18 age division of the prestigious junior golf tournament Saturday afternoon, this year held at Highland Oaks while the DCC course undergoes major renovations, the 17-year-old Baez tried to put into words how much it meant to him.
People are also reading… Baez stayed atop the leader board from wire-to-wire – shooting back-to-back scores of 4-under par 68 the first two rounds and finished it off with a 69 for an 11-under 205 total for the tournament. In what was a magical three days for Baez, he even had a hole-in-one Saturday on No. 4. He used a 7-iron on the par 3.
“Although I knew I had a seven-shot lead at one point, I knew that the job wasn’t finished, so I kept pursuing and kept doing as best as I can.”“I’m usually someone that doesn’t look at leader boards and I honestly started doing it a little bit more,” Baez said. “The first round, I looked at the scoreboard out there and I saw my friend was 4-under through 11 … it gave me motivation to say that I could do that, so I did that.
His younger brother, Cameron, who is 16, also played in the tournament and finished tied with nine others for 28th. He almost had a hole-in-one on the very same hole his brother did accomplish the feat. Cameron was playing in a few groups back.
