Junior Amateur Golfer of the Year Award (2009)

SAJEVIC IS JUNIOR AMATEUR GOLFER OF THE YEAR

Omaha, NE - The Nebraska Golf Association (NGA) is proud to select Andy Sajevic of Fremont as the 2009 Nebraska Junior Amateur Golfer of the Year.

Sajevic became the first golfer since Lincoln’s Steve Friesen (1995) to claim both the Nebraska Junior Match Play Championship and the Nebraska Junior Amateur Championship in the same season. In addition Sajevic won the Class A State High School Tournament in May, was runner-up at the 42nd Nebraska Match Play Championship in June and recognized as Low Junior Amateur at the 101st Nebraska Amateur Championship in July. He also claimed Nebraska's lone qualifying spot and competed in the U.S. Amateur in August at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa.

Sajevic represented the NGA this summer in both the Nebraska Cup Matches against the state’s top golf professionals and the Nebraska-Kansas Junior Cup Matches against a team representing the Kansas Golf Association. Most recently Sajevic was named captain of the 2009 Nebraska Junior Golf Tour’s annual All-Star Team.

A graduate of Fremont High School, Sajevic now competes for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte 49ers Men’s Golf Team. He previously won the Junior Amateur Golfer of the Year award in 2007.
