PJ Maybank III of Cheboygan has some impressive golf credentials – winning the celebrated Drive, Chip and Putt at Augusta National at age 13, and previously winning Golf Association of Michigan junior tournaments and others on the traveling golf circuit.
He called winning the 42nd Michigan Junior State Amateur Championship at TPC Michigan, the biggest win so far.
“To be the number one junior in Michigan, that means a lot to me,” said the smiling 15-year-old who topped Evan McDermott of Spring Lake 5 and 4 in the championship match. This feels amazing. This was one of my big goals coming into the summer – to do well in this event and hopefully win it. I’m very happy I won.”
Robert Burns of Grand Blanc was the other big winner on the day. He won the 15-and-under Division Championship with a 6-and-5 triumph over Vibhav Alokam of Ypsilanti in the final match.
