riJ patel hunt vAlley, MArylAnD

SCOrinG averaGe: 77.82 LOw rOUnD: 71 Peaking at the right time is key for a victory at TOC and Patel could not be peaking at a better time. Having collected three championship trophies this season, he most recently won the Major Championship at Hershey Country Club. The large field at Hershey was great preparation for Patel coming into TOC as he looks to be in contention come Monday’s final round.

williS huynh SyOSSet, new yOrk

SCOrinG averaGe: 76.46 LOw rOUnD 72Willis has strung together a very impressive overall record

during the IJGT season. His participation in events in both the Northeast and Southeast will have prepared him for the tough

competition at the TOC. On the year, Huynh has one victory at the Bridgestone Series at Greate Bay as well as many high

finishes.

SCOrinG averaGe: 74 LOw rOUnD: 69 This year Dietrich has an impressive resume including one

victory, two T-2nd, a 3rd, and a tie for 4th. His impressive 69 in the first round at IJGT Saddlebrook in October secured him

the victory. When Dietrich enters an event, you can nearly guarantee to see him at the top of the leaderboard.

SCOrinG averaGe: 77.25 LOw rOUnD: 76The West Coast will be well represented as Burgess will travel

from California to compete with his peers from around the world. Burgess has a pretty good winning percentage; in the

two IJGT tournaments he competed in he has one victory and a 5th place finish. His victory came at La Costa Resort in

December where he put together rounds of 76 and 78.

moyu SaSaki tOkyO, JApAn

SCOrinG averaGe: 74.78 LOw rOUnD: 70Sasaki boasts an impressive resume that includes four victories on the year. One of her most impressive statistics is that her worst finish in her 13 tournaments was a tie for 8th. Sasaki is one of the IJGT’s most consistent players, and she certainly will be in contention come the final round.

anina ku bASking riDge, new JerSey SCOrinG averaGe: 78.25 LOw rOUnD: 76A relative newcomer to the IJGT, this will be Ku’s first Tournament of Champions. Ku has competed in two tournaments and, at the young age of 11, has won them both. TOC will present stiff competition for Ku. But, as she a mature competitor, we are sure she will be up to the challenge. olivia landino herMitAge, pennSylvAniA

SCOrinG averaGe: 81.33 LOw rOUnD: 78Landino is the defending IJGT Player of the Year and, although she does not have any victories this year, she is looking to fin-ish the 2011-2012 season just as strong. On the year she has played in three tournaments finishing high in all three. Lan-dino will certainly rely on her experience in looking to win at Grand Cypress.

SCOrinG averaGe: 70.50 LOw rOUnD: 70Wang has only played one tournament but what she lacks in experience she makes up for in ability. Playing against a very strong field at the Kentwool Socks Open at Oyster Reef, Wang shot rounds of 71 and 70 to claim the victory. Wang is a talented player and will be one of many to beat in the Girls division.
