2015-2016 Season Back in Full Swing F


ollowing a lengthy winter break, the 2015-2016 JTNC


season got back into full swing with the start of the Spring Series on March 12-13 in Stockton. The Spring Series runs


through the end of May, and is followed by the Summer Series. Then, it’s on to the season-ending JTNC Tour Championship (August 1-2) at Poppy Hills, where both the Boys’ and Girls’ Players of the Year will be crowned. So how do the races stack up?

O’Sullivan Named to 2016 Curtis Cup USA’s Team


ormer JTNC member Hannah O’Sullivan was among eight play- ers named by the USGA to the USA Team for the 2016 Curtis Cup. The championship will be held June 10-12 at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club in Ireland. Ranked in the top 5 of the World


Amateur Golf Rankings, O’Sullivan won the 2015 U.S. Women’s Ama- teur at Portland (Ore.) Golf Club. Earlier in the year, she won the Symetra Tour’s Gateway Classic, becoming the tour’s first amateur winner since Kellee Booth in 1999 and the youngest since Cristie Kerr in 1995. Other 2015 O’Sullivan highlights


were wins at the Rolex Girls Junior Championship and Rolex Tourna- ment of Champions. She also had a runner-up finish at the inaugural U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship at Bandon Dunes playing with partner Robyn Ree. O’Sullivan, who lives in Arizona but is an NCGA member at the Olympic Club, will join the USC women’s golf team this fall.

As of press time, Palo Alto resi- dent Ahmed Ali led the Boys’ Player of the Year standings with 1,098 points. Along with a win at the Fall Series VIII Championship, Ali, who played in last year’s U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Champion- ship, also had a pair of second place finishes (Fall Series II, Fall Series IX). Right behind Ali at 985 points


is Danville’s Joshua McCarthy. The 2014 Boys’ Player of the Year, McCarthy is looking to join Justin Suh as the only players to have won two titles. Suh, now a fresh- man at USC, won Player of the Year crowns in 2013 and 2015.


In third place is two-time


winner (Fall Series II, Spring Series II) Ryan Grauman with 938 points. Peter Kuest of Fresno is in fourth place at 860. Over on the Girls’ side, San


Ramon’s Yoonhee Kim is still in first place with 1,993 points. Kim, a senior at Dougherty Valley High, won six times in 2015, tying former member Casie Cathrea (2012 and Sabrina Iqbal (2014) for most victories in a calendar year. Looming just behind Kim with


1,795 points is Pioneer High soph- omore Sabrina Iqbal. Should Iqbal, the two-time defending Girls’ Player of the Year, win this sea- son’s crown, she would tie Cathrea (2010, 2011, 2013) for most career titles at three. No player has ever won JTNC Player of the Year honors three straight years. In third place, and also a


threat to Kim, is Yealimi Noh. A freshman at Carondelet High in Concord, Noh is at 1,645 points thanks to wins at the Fall Series VI and Holiday Series III Championships. In fourth place at 1,360 is Emilee Hoffman of Folsom.
