Brayden Casolari won the East Tennessee Junior Tour Tournament at the Patriot Hills Golf Club in Jefferson City, Tenn.

A strong finish helped Brayden Casolari win his first tournament of the summer as he shot nine-over par 81 to capture the East Tennessee Junior Tour Tournament at the Patriot Hills Golf Club in Jefferson City, Tenn.
Casolari was tied for second after the first day of play and fell five strokes behind after a slow start Tuesday before closing with a flurry, winning on the final hole.
Casolari, 12, is heading into the seventh grade at Cumberland Elementary School and has been busy this summer playing in junior tournaments across Tenneseee and Kentucky. He has finished second, third and fifth in the Sneds Tour Tournament for ages 10-13.
He is currently ranked 11th in points on the Champions Tour, which is for players up to age 15. He has finished as high as fifth before this week and placed in the top 10 in tournaments. He will resume tournament play in August.
Casolari plans to play on the Harlan County High School team in the fall.
