McGolf Learning Center Student, Justin Peters, won his first ever Gateway Tour event after firing rounds of 68-70-70, an 8 under par total, and making 16 birdies along the way. “Justin’s really playing some awesome golf,” said Justin’s coach, Bill McInerney Jr. “He’s swinging the club beautifully right now, so we’ve really been focusing our attention on shots around the green, and developing his mental game… he’s come an incredibly long way in such a short period of time. Justin’s very driven and passionate about his game, and learning as much as he can… I don’t think I could ask for a better student!”
Justin followed up his win with a 3rd place finish in the very next Gateway Tour series event… making another 16 birdies in his three rounds (that’s 32 birdies and 19 under par in his last 6 competitive rounds), this time finishing at 11 under par, with scores of 67-66-72.
Ironically enough, Justin won the first ever Big Break competition. Susan Choi and Justin had an opportunity to play some golf together over the winter months.
