SCOTTSBORO, Ala. – Incoming Auburn freshman Max Johnson earned medalist honors at the 75th Alabama State Junior Championship Thursday at Goose Pond Colony Resort.
Johnson fired a 14-under (66-69-67--202) and won the annual amateur event by four strokes. He was the only golfer in the field of 123 to fire each round in the 60s.
The Fairhope, Ala. native rattled off 15 birdies, including nine on the front nine, and one eagle across three circuits of the par-72 Lake Course.
Johnson's first and third rounds of 66 and 67 tied for the third-lowest and eighth-lowest cards of the tournament, respectively.
