The AJGA also announced the Rolex Junior All-Americans
“When I outlined my goals at the beginning of the year, I listed two: to be the Rolex Junior Player of the Year and to be on the United States’ Junior Ryder Cup team,” Goodwin said. “I am proud to have accomplished both of these goals.”
Goodwin was the runner-up at the U.S. Junior Amateur while also picking up his fourth AJGA title at Bishops Gate Golf Academy Junior. The U.S. Junior Amateur wasn't the only USGA event Goodwin had success in as he made it to the Round of 64 at August's U.S. Amateur.
At the AJGA's Ping Invitational the 2018 SMU commit set a new single round scoring record by firing a second round 9-under 63. The round included 10 birdies and just one bogey. Goodwin ended up finishing second, one of three top-five finishes in 2016 AJGA invitational events.
Goodwin and USA Junior Ryder Cup team were victorious over Europe 15.5-8.5.
UCLA commit Paphangkorn Tavatanakit was the winner of two AJGA events over the past season and also made two deep runs in USGA events, making it to the Round of 16 in both the U.S. Junior Girls' and U.S. Women's Amateur.
“This award defines the best player in junior golf and I didn’t dare to dream about receiving it because of the many talented golfers capable of winning this award,” Tavatanakit said. “Winning this award means the world to me.”
Her most recent AJGA win came at the Ping Invitational were she finished with a record setting 12- under 204 that put her an impressive eight-strokes clear of the field.
Tavatanakit became the first native of Thailand to win the award since LPGA Tour standout Ariya Jutanugarn won in consecutive seasons, 2011 and 2012.
