Singh on Song at Wagga Wagga
(6:00pm - 16th February 2019)
Ripudaman Singh (Castle Hill GC) has lit it up over his final holes to shoot a -5 par 67 and post a 4-shot lead in the first round of the Wagga Wagga Junior Masters. It was a solid round which only featured one bogey on Ripudaman’s 4th hole. A bogey free 4 under back nine was enough to open a comfortable over night lead over Ali Rachid (Kogorah GC) and Joshuaa Robards (Newcastle GC), who are tied at -1 par. Ali looked to be surging up the leader board himself, with 3 birdies on his back nine, but a bogey on his final hole slipped him back into a tie. Josh Robbards barely slipped up himself, with 14 pars highlighted by an eagle on the 3rd hole.
Enzo Moon (Strathfield GC) holds a 3 shot lead in the Under 11s heading into round 2. Enzo shot a solid 6 over par, made even more impressive considering he had 2 double bogeys during his round. Ryan Fletcher (Lynwood CC) leads the 12-13 years by 4 shots after his 2 over pay 74.
It is a close contest in the Girls Division, with Taylah Ellems (The Lakes GC) holding a slim 1 shot lead after the first round. At 2 over par, Taylah will be hoping to hold off a chasing pack of 5, who are all with 3 shots of her lead. Closest to her is Angelina Gong (Concord GC) after her opening round of 76.
JuEun Jang (Toukley GC) has picked up 2019 where she left off 2018 and holds a 5 shot lead over Nara Shin (Ryde Parramatta GC) with a 3 over 76. Ella Murray (Dubbo GC) has a 7 shot leading heading into Sunday in the girls 12-13 years, shooting 4 over 77. The 14-15 years is lead by Lili Kremmer, after her opening round of 78, 5 over par.
Round 2 will begin on Sunday morning with a 7.30am shotgun.

Bart shot rounds of 72 and 70 to secure a 1 shot victory in the 2018 event, and will be looking to start his 2019 off on the same note. But he will not have it all his way with a competitive field looking to snatch his title, including 2019 Harvey Norman Sydney Week of Golf Champion Ali Rachid.
JNJG State representatives Amber Thornton and 2019 Harvey Norman ACT Week of Golf Champion Yerin Kim will feature in the 32 strong Girls Division.
