Stow’s Jack Vojtko and Ajay Morris of Avondale, AZ, formerly from Cortland, shot rounds of 4-under par 68 to share co-medalist honors at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship Qualifier today at Avon Oaks Country Club.
“I played really well today,” said Vojtko, a rising senior at Hoban who is committed to play collegiate golf at The Ohio State University. “I just wanted to play the par-5’s as best I can, stay even on the par-3’s and play the par-4’s however they come. I executed that exactly and it was a fun round out there.”
Morris had a similar approach. “I played pretty solid,” he said. “I had a good plan coming in. Just hit in the fairway and the birdies will come. I hit it in the center of the green and made the putts so it was just a clean round of golf.”
The pair moves on to Daniel Island Club in Charleston, SC for the U.S. Junior Am on July 24-29, 2023.
Chris Pollak shot 70 to earn first alternate, while Davis Ovard won in a playoff to earn second alternate.
