Toyota Tour Cup Series Championship

The Toyota Tour Cup Series Championship was held at the beautiful SilverRock Resort in La Quinta, CA December 18th-20th, 2011. Players took advantage of three great days of weather and put up some great scores on the challenging course which was part of the Bob Hope Classic tournament rotation for five years.

Avery French of Laguna Niguel, a 2013 grad, captured her first Toyota Tour Cup title shooting 70-75-70=215, -1. French’s victory can be attributed to steady play, her three rounds featured 33 pars and 12 birdies. Close behind was Alice Jeong of Gardena, a 2013 grad. Jeong led after a first round 67 but struggled on the greens during her second round and finished 67-78-71=216, E. Third place went to Elisabeth Bernabe of Anaheim Hills, also a 2013 grad, shooting 76-73-73=222, +6.

Jonathan Sanders of Chatsworth, a 2012 grad, shot the low round of the tournament during the second round with a 65, -7. His tournament total featured a first round score of 70 and a final round 69 to finish at 204, -12 with 18 birdies. Two shots back was Rico Hoey of Rancho Cucamonga, a 2013 grad, with an equally impressive 17 birdies.  He shot 67-70-69=206, -10. In third place was Ryann Ree of Redondo Beach, a 2012 grad, shot 72-71-69=212, -4.

We would like to thank PGA General Manager Randy Duncan, PGA Head Professional James Saenz  and Tournament Coordinator John McCarthy for all their assistance in making the tournament a success.
