Scott Robertson Memorial: James, Ganne cruise for big victories

Roanoke, Virginia, provided spectacular golf weather this weekend at the 37th Scott Robertson Memorial at Roanoke Country Club.

The junior championship kicked off Friday, and University of Virginia commit Ben James (Milford, Conn.) headlined the Boys 15-18 division with an opening-round 66 (-5) and didn’t look back.

It was a similar story for the Girls 15-18 division. Megha Ganne, a Stanford commit from Holmdel, New Jersey, opened with a 66 and continued to dominate through the weekend. She shot 70-71 to close out a seven-shot victory.
