Max Herendeen, who is entering his senior year at Bishop Blanchet this fall, won the Boys Junior PGA Championship on Friday with a five shot win at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont, Ill. FOX13
Herendeen, a Bellevue native that is committed to play at the University of Illinois, posted a 16-under par total to earn a five shot victory over Ethan Gao of Alpharetta, Ga."I didn’t putt as well as I probably could have. I struck the ball well. I left a lot of shots out there with the putter. I just knew if I kept giving myself opportunities, I’d have good chances.
Herendeen opened the championship with a 4-under par 68 on the Dubsdread course to put him in third place after day one. A 6-under par 66 on the Ravines course vaulted him into a tie at the top of the leaderboard at 10-under with Nicholas Gross of Downingtown, Pa. A third round 2-under 70 on Dubsdread moved him to 12-under par and into a three-shot lead over Gao and seven clear of Gross.
Herendeen nearly qualified for the U.S. Open earlier this summer. He was leading the 36-hole qualifier at Pronghorn Resort in Bend, Ore. for much of the day before a late stumble dropped him from qualifying position. He finished at 4-under, two shots out of a playoff for the final qualifying spot.
