Aug 5, 2004 MJT members had strong showings at the Callaway Golf Junior World Championships.
MJT members Richard Lee and Jonnie Motomochi had terrific performances in the 13-14 age division over the 54 holes held on the Par 72 Ivanhoe Course at Cottonwood GC. Motomochi had a share of the lead with Thailand's Anujit Hirunatankorn carding a 65 in round one. Lee shot 69 in round one and backed it up with a smooth 66 in round 2 to sit at -9. Hirunatankorn shot 67 in round two to go to -12 while Motomochi shot 70 to tie Lee in second at -9. The young man from Thailand took a 3 shot lead over both Motomochi and Lee into the final round.
