A 17-year-old Goodyear golfer will head to Pebble Beach this September, along with three other Valley teens, to represent First Tee Phoenix when they compete in the 2022 PURE Insurance Championship.
Isabelle Junio will begin her senior year at Millennium High School this fall, where she is a member of the varsity golf team, the Lady Tigers.
Junio joined First Tee Phoenix 10 years ago, and has since participated in a number of junior golf tournaments including JGAA, US Kids Tour, Ping Junior Interclub and LPGA-USGA Girls Golf of Phoenix.
She was one of 24 First Tee participants selected for the John Deere Drive Your Future Academy last year in Detroit, which was an opportunity to learn about volunteerism and building a strong network.
Outside of golf, Junio is involved with the color guard and likes to draw, bake and play badminton.
She also has an impressive academic record, boasting a 4.58 GPA.
The 2022 PURE Insurance Championship will bring teens from First Tee chapters all over the country to the PGA TOUR Champions tournament, Sept. 20-25. The annual event is in its 19th year and will be nationally televised on the Golf Channel.
Junio will be joined by three other Valley golfers: Caden Clark, Lena Durette and Jack Layman.
