Following his first round of the 2018 Massachusetts Junior Amateur Championship on Monday, Brookline’s James Imai said that he felt really good about where his game was and felt the results were showing.
On Thursday, he had to use all his weapons, but the eventual result was the same – coming back from 3 down through 12 holes to square the match with Needham’s David Rogers before defeating him in 22 holes to capture the 100th Massachusetts Junior Amateur Championship.
With his victory, Imai becomes only the 10th competitor to win multiple state junior titles.
