The More, the Merrier

Three more Coloradans qualified Friday for the IMG Academy Junior World Championships, bringing the number from the Centennial State who have punched their tickets to the prestigious junior event to a dozen.

Maxwell Lange of Golden shot an even-par 72 at Indian Tree Golf Club in Arvada, while Matthew Wilkinson of Centennial posted a 73 to gain the two available berths in the boys 13-14 competition.

And advancing at the same site in the boys 11-12 division were Californian Timothy Kelley (1-under-par 71) and Austin Barry of Fort Collins (76).

The Junior Worlds are scheduled for July 10-13 in the San Diego area.
