GGGA students Maxime Blandin and Emilio Maurer are five shots back from playing with the pros.
Blandin and Maurer, both of whom are students in the Full-Time Junior Program at the Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy, are tied for seventh at 3-over 147 at the AJGA Puerto Rico Junior Open with an exemption into the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico stop on the line.
Maurer, of Mexico, carded a 1-over 73 while Blandin, of France, turned in a 5-over 77 at Trump International Golf Club.
At the inaugural event last year, GGGA students swiped both the boy’s and girl’s divisions. Jason Roets, who is now a freshman at the University of North Texas, won the boy’s title, while Monifa Sealy, now a freshman at the University of Central Florida, took the girl’s division.
