LAFAYETTE, La. – Louisiana golf signee Charlie Flynn became the fourth Ragin' Cajuns newcomer to claim the Southern Golf Association Junior Championship this past weekend at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant, La.
Â
Flynn joins Louisiana greats Rob McKelvey (1987), Michael Smith (2004) and Andrew Noto (2008) as Cajuns who have won the championship.
Â
"Very proud of Charlie to win the southern junior championship," head coach Theo Sliman said. "He joins a list of some very distinguished golfers who have won the event including three of our own. I was very fortunate to be on hand to watch him claim the championship and was very impressed with the maturity he displayed. I'm very anxious to get back to work this fall and see his maturity blossom."
Â
Flynn carded a 54-hole score of 4-under par to win the championship. The Alexandria, La. native notched two rounds in the 60s opening with a 67 in the first round and finished with a 68 in the final round.
Â
Flynn closed out the tournament with four birdies on holes 10, 11, 14 and 15 to win the tournament by two strokes ahead of Austin, Texas' Cole Sherwood (72-71-69-211) and Ringold, Georgia's Gavin Noble (70-72- 69-211).
Â
Notable past winners of the Southern Golf Association Junior Championship include Paul Ogelsby, Justin Leonard, Sean O'Hair and Charles Howell.
