THE RECORD
The 79th New Jersey Four-Ball Championship should provide greater intrigue thanks to a format change and the absence of the heavyweight defending champions.
Ridgewood’s Christina Paulsen should challenge for the Girls 16-18 title at this week’s New Jersey Junior PGA Championship.
There are many more teams — 45 — because the three-day tournament, which opens today at Knickerbocker Country Club in Tenafly, has added a stroke-play qualifier and the low 16 advance to Tuesday’s match play.
Defending champs Brian Komline and Mike Deo of Black Oak, among the state’s premier amateurs, will not defend their New Jersey State Golf Association title.
NJPGA Junior
Ridgewood’s Christina Paulsen should challenge for the Girls 16-18 title. The favorite is last year’s runner-up, Clark’s Noelle Maertz.
