Idaho Junior - Round 3
The wind. Oh my goodness, the wind.
The final day of the Idaho Junior State Am saw Pinecrest Golf Course in its natural habitat. With a steady 25+ mile per hour breeze, the 13-14 year olds, and the 15-18 year olds took to the course to brave the elements. The results will blow you away.
The 13-14 year old girls were first off, and the first and second round leader was your leader at the end of round number three as well. Braylyn Bayer (2024) posted a third round 83 (+13) to take the title by two, and finished the tournament with a three day total of 242 (+32). Chloe Singpraseuth (2025) made a late round charge, making some clutch numbers coming in to shoot 79 (+9), and finish with a tournament total of 244 (+34). Avery Bayer (2024) rounded out the top three, posting an 81 (+11) for a three day total of 245 (+35).
The wire-to-wire finishes weren’t done yet. Wheaton Ennis (2024) tied the low round of the day, posting a rock solid 69 (-1) to bring his three day total fo 206 (-4). Teigen Brill (2026) and Reid Piron (2025) found themselves in the same spot that they started the day in, T-2. They matched one another with rounds of 74 (+4) on the day, which gave them a final tally of 215 (+5) for the championship.
In the 15-18 year old girls division, well, 2018 Champion Carly Carter (2021) came to play. Taking 74 (+4) strokes to get around, she finished the championship at 218 (+8), which was good enough for a two stroke victory. Elle McCord (2020) posted the round of the day on the girls side of things, an even par 70 for a tournament total of 220 (+10), finishing in solo second. Kelli Ann Strand (2022) completed the trio at the top after posting a 76 (+6) for a three day total of 223 (+13), and a solo third finish.
Keeping in step with the trend from the day, the boys 15-18 year old division finished with the same leader that it started round three with, Lucas Rynearson (2021). It was the tale of two nines for Rynearson, shooting a comfortable 34 on the outward side, and then managed to hang on on the way in to shoot 37 on the back. It was more than enough though, securing a two shot victory walking off the 18 green and into the week’s largest gallery. Zach Martin (2020) made a run, shooting 69 (-1) finishing at 213 (+3) in solo second. Carter Sheets (2021) shot 71 (+1) for the second straight day to finish in third at 214 (+4) for the week.
