That's a wrap on Day 1 @ the BJO 2015!

Team USA went through a mixture of emotions on Day 1 of the BJO 2015. After a 13-0 start at Hallamshire, the players began to realize why the British Junior Open is held with such prestige and considered a kind of age groups world championships.

The presence of Team USA definitely seems to be adding to the event, something that we hope to make more consistent in years to come. When the team begins to get behind one of our players, the noise levels rise considerably and the buzz around the venue spreads that there could be a potential upset on the cards.

Still in the main draw is Timmy Brownell, Sean Hughes, Dana Santry, Conner Stolz, Andrew Barr, Douglas Conigliaro, Marina Stefanoni and Emily Schuster. On Saturday they will be vying for a place in the last 16.

There were some incredible performances from the team on Day 1 and those not in the main draw will re-group and go again on Day 2 to finish as high as possible in the standings.
