Bryce Chalkley, a 16 year old golfer from Petersburg, CC. is the 2009 RGA Junior Champion. Bryce shot a final round five under par 67 on the 6500 yard Crossings Golf Course for a two day total of 6 under par 138 to beat out Tanner Foutz by three shots who shot a final round 70 for a two day total of 141.
On a beautiful sunny day, Bryce started off tied with Tanner, but quickly birdied the first two holes. Tanner responded by making three birdies of his own. Tanner turned in 3 under 33 and held a one shot lead over Bryce heading for the back side.
The back nine saw the lead exchange hands several times. The fifteenth turned out to be the pivotal hole when Bryce birdied and Tanner bogied for a two shot swing and a three shot lead. Bryce held on to his lead and finished with a back nine three under par 33 for a closing round of 67 and a three shot victory.
