Roman Junior Golfer
Cards His First Eagle!
  Jonathan
Bryan scored his first eagle yesterday in
tournament play at the Georgia National Golf
Club in McDonough, Ga.
The Model
Middle School seventh grader did so on the par 5
12th hole. Playing off the red tee at 383
yards, Jonathan's drive landed in the left side
of the fairway, offering a relatively clear shot
to the green 180 yards away. For his
second shot, his chose his hybrid and brought it
just shy of the bunker laying in wait in front
of the green about 15 yards from the hole.
He grabbed his sand wedge, took a couple of
practice swings, and took his shot. It
landed about five feet inside the green, and
rolled the rest of the way to the hole!
"That was
exciting," said Jonathan. "I chipped in my
first birdie at
Stonebridge
Golf Club and today I've chipped in for
eagle. Now my goal is to make a
hole-in-one!"
The eagle
helped him on his way to an 83, giving him the
win. Jonathan was playing against eight
other 10 and 11-year-old golfers in the
Canongate Junior Tour. Yesterday's win
was the third in a row for him on the Tour.
Last month,
Jonathan also earned Tournament Champion in the
10-11-year-old division in the
2011 Rome Junior Golf Tournament.
