Incoming Auburn freshman Max Johnson won the 75th Alabama State Junior Championship Thursday at Goose Pond Colony Resort.
Johnson fired a 14-under (66-69-67–202) and won the annual amateur event by four strokes. He was the only golfer in the field of 123 to shoot each round in the 60s.
The Fairhope, Alabama, native rattled off 15 birdies, including nine on the front nine, and one eagle across three rounds at the par-72 Lake Course.
Johnson’s first and third rounds of 66 and 67 tied for the third lowest and eighth lowest cards of the tournament, respectively.
