Angel Three Shots Off Pace in Nevada Golf Tournament

Darren Angel of Northridge fired an even-par 72 Tuesday in the first round of the Las Vegas Founders’ Legacy Junior Championship at the Legacy Golf Club in Henderson, Nev.

Angel, who will be a senior at Granada Hills High in the fall, is in a five-way tie for third, three shots behind Charlie Woerner of Sunnyvale, Calif.

Ross Fulgentis of Westlake Village and Jason Semelsberger of Newhall are among a group of 10 players who shot 75 and are tied for 20th place. Art Weiner of Sherman Oaks shot 79.

The tournament, which concludes Thursday, is conducted by the American Junior Golf Assn., which last fall named Angel to its All-American team.
