Will Cross says it’s his putting.
“I’ve been on the range, working with different clubs,” he said, “but my putting has been really good lately.”
An incoming junior at San Benito High School, Cross has shed several strokes off his game recently. During a round earlier this week at the Salinas Golf and Country Club, where he was competing in the 54th Annual Charles Culver Memorial Junior Masters, Cross recorded just seven putts through his first five holes.
“I’ve been making putts like crazy,” he said.
And his short game seems to be paying off in the long run.
Cross carded a two-round score of 144 (68-76) to take second place at the Junior Masters earlier this week – he finished runner-up in a playoff after completing his round tied for first. Last week, the junior golfer shot a 4-under 68 (34-34) at the Fourth Annual Bill Dougherty Memorial Junior Golf Tournament, held at the Yolo Fliers Golf and Country Club in Woodland on July 10.
