Zach Heffernan becomes first player in 25 years to win consecutive Texas Junior Amateur tournaments

HORSESHOE BAY – Boerne Champion senior Zach Heffernan became the first golfer in 25 years and just the third in the Texas Junior Amateur’s 94-year history to win back-to-back titles. And how he did it is just as impressive: after leading the first day, Zach didn’t play quite as well day two and found himself with a challenge on the last day of competition. “After the first day playing good, being in the lead and then the second day – it’s nice being in the lead I guess after the first day but not really. “And then went from there.”By the 18th hole, Zach had not only drawn even, but was one stroke up. “When I have the confidence and feel like I’m going to win, I just always play good golf.”
