He fi n- ished the season by winning the all-Val- ley tournament by three strokes, shooting a one-over 72 at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis. According to Kessel, Sullivan’s com- posure and competitive edge is what sets him apart from the competition. “He feeds on the competition and loves the pressure being on him. I have seen the kid bogey two holes in a row and then rattle off four birdies in fi ve holes to respond,” Kessel said. It could be easy for someone like Sullivan to be complacent with where he is at in his golf game, but the 16-year old is still hungry and is constantly looking at ways he can improve — specifi cally with his short game. “Anytime I practice, the majority of what I work on is putting. But I am grow- ing in confi dence in that area and I feel like that will help me produce lower scores,” Sullivan said.

He shot a 76 on day one, then recorded the lowest score of the tournament on day two (70). Most recently, Sullivan won the Peter Demarco McNary Memorial of McNary Golf Club last week, shooting a four-un- der 67. Even though he still has two more years of high school golf, Sullivan already has his sights set on the next level, and aspires to be a professional golfer one day — just like his father. “My dream is to go to the U of O. I have always wanted to play there,” Sullivan said. “Even if I don’t get to play there, I am shooting to play at the Division I level. “The ultimate goal is to do exactly what my dad did and get my PGA Tour card.” happy and well-cared for.
