Day two of the 84th Bob Norquist Oregon Junior Amateur Championship finished up on Tuesday, June 24 at Waverley Country Club in Portland, Ore.

Four divisions completed stroke play qualifying on Tuesday (Intermediate Boys, Intermediate Girls, Pee Wee Boys, Pee Wee Girls). Three other divisions (Juniors, Boys, Girls) began match play today.

The weather on Tuesday held up beautifully, with partly cloudy skies throughout the day and temperatures ranging from the low- to mid-70s. The course played tough for a second straight day, but conditions were once again impressive. The fairways and rough were in excellent condition, and the greens were rolling fast and smooth.

“Today was an excellent day for golf,” said Robyn Lorain, Director of Oregon Junior Golf. “Waverley Country Club is a wonderful host for this championship, and it’s a great test for some of the best junior golfers in the area. We are looking forward to all divisions beginning match play tomorrow.”

Her two-round total finished at 166 (86-80). Yesterday’s leader, Victoria Gailey (Tigard, Ore.) finished in second place, shooting 82 on Tuesday to end qualifying with a total of 167 (85-82)
