The 2021 Summer Classic teed off July 14-15 with the Boys and Girls Championship divisions as well as 15-18 Boys and Girls divisions competing at Kierland Golf Club, while the 13-14 divisions were contested at Starfire Golf Club.
George Rubelsky of Phoenix held the first-round lead in the Boys Championship division after a 4-under 68. In the second round Chandler’s Wyatt Chapman shot the same score, 68, including two eagles, to pull ahead of Rubelsky for the one-stroke victory at -6. Carter Wilkes of Mesa came in third place thanks to his final-round, 5-under 67, which featured six birdies and one bogey.
Fresh from a runner-up finish days before at the Prescott City Jr Championship, Annie Dawson shot steady rounds of 71-71, one more birdie than bogey each day, to win the Girls Championship division by four strokes at -2. Makenna Cabardo of Scottsdale shot 74-74 to finish in second place at 4-over par, and Taylor Wilczek of Las Vegas shaved six strokes off her first round score to climb into third place at 6-over par (78-72).
Cody Bisetti (74-71) of Phoenix and Nicholas Lippe (75-70) of Chandler finished tied for first place in the Boys 15-18 division at 1-over-par 145, before Bisetti went on to break the tie on the fourth playoff hole. Lily Huether of Tucson won the Girls 15-18 division at +12 after rounds of 81-75.
Contested at Starfire Golf Club, Noah Kaoni of Phoenix won the Boys 13-14 at even par with rounds of 70-70. In the Girls 13-14 division, Cynthia Lang of Chandler finished at 2-over-par 142 (72-70) for the win.
