JHS sophomore Kaylee Yuan wins Texas Junior Amateur Champion

Incoming Joshua High School sophomore Kaylee Yuan is the 97th Texas Junior Amateur Champion!

Yuan captured the title in storybook fashion after shooting a hole-in-one and a birdie in the final two holes of the tournament to earn a two-stroke victory. 

Trailing by one stroke entering the second to last hole, Yuan aced the 150-yard par three 17th to take the lead and then secured her win with a birdie on the tournament's final hole. 

She finished five under par, shooting rounds of 70, 70 and 71 at the White Bluff Resort in Whitney.
