Grant Leary of Crespi is ready to defend his 2025 championship as Southern Section individual golf champion.
Qualifying begins Wednesday for the Northern Regional at Los Robles Golf Course. The top 20 players from the three regionals advance to the individual finals May 21 at River Ridge Country Club.
Leary shot 66 last year to win. He’s been playing well. He won a playoff at a U.S. Open qualifying tournament in Brentwood to advance to the final stage, a tournament June 8 in Sacramento. The U.S. Open will be in New York this season.
He’s committed to San José State.
One top player who won’t be participating this year is sophomore Jaden Soong, the defending CIF state champion from St. Francis. His father, Chris, said Jaden has too many conflict dates this month on his schedule while trying to earn a spot to play in the Junior Presidents Cup in September at Medinah Country Club.
Soong is No. 10 in the standings. Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, is No. 7.

His approach should not come as a surprise.
Trippier admitted it will be “emotional” to leave Newcastle at the end of his contract, after spending longer at the club than anywhere else in his senior career.
He is determined to end his four-and-a-half-year spell on a high, and could even come back into the side for a final run following injuries to Lewis Miley and Tino Livramento.
There is likely to be a familiar look to the team which lines up against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, as a result.
Nick Pope, Trippier, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy could start. They all featured when Newcastle ended a 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy by winning the EFL Cup last season.
It was Trippier who set up Burn’s opener in the 2-1 win against Liverpool in the final, before he went on to lift the trophy alongside skipper Guimaraes and previous club captain Jamaal Lascelles at Wembley.
But that had not necessarily been part of Trippier’s “selfless” plan, as former team-mate Callum Wilson explained.
“He was not interested in lifting the trophy,” said the striker, who is now at West Ham.
“It took myself and a few other senior players to say, ‘Go on, get your hands on the trophy and lift it with everybody – all three of you do it together because it’s a team effort’.
“Ultimately, he played a big part in that as well so I felt like that moment really summed him up as a character.”
Such a prospect felt a long way off when the pair spoke on FaceTime to discuss relegation-threatened Newcastle‘s plight – several weeks before Trippier joined the club from Atletico Madrid in January 2022.
The right-back proved a catalyst, as the first signing in the aftermath of the club’s Saudi-led takeover, and convinced others like Guimaraes to follow in the mid-season window.
Yet Trippier’s decision to swap life in the Champions League for an immediate survival battle led to accusations of greed externally.
The reality was a little different.
The Bury native wanted to return to the north of England for personal reasons and took a pay cut to reunite with head coach Eddie Howe, who he previously worked with at Burnley.
There was not even a relegation release clause in his contract.
Rather than being a mercenary, the La Liga title winner’s standards, approach to training and desire to help lifted a group which had only recorded a single victory up to that point.
Trippier’s presence behind the scenes quickly struck former team-mate Jonjo Shelvey.
“He’s a natural leader,” the ex-Newcastle midfielder said.
“He made a move at a time when the club was struggling and came in with his know-how and knowledge, and helped us massively.”
MOLLY-MAE Hague just revealed that a fire broke out at her £5million mansion ahead of her giving birth to her second child.
The influencer and TV personality, 26, shared the scary ordeal over on her YouTube channel.
In a vlog posted to her page yesterday, Molly-Mae talked all things preparing for her baby shower.
However, the sweet anecdotes suddenly took a terrifying turn when she recounted her home security team contacting her about a fire at her property.
She shared: “The security company is calling me and are like, ‘Just to ask you a question, is the fire in your skip on purpose, is there meant to be a fire in your skip?’
“I’m like, ‘Give me a second’, run to my builder Glen and I’m like, ‘Glen, there’s a fire!’

“He was like, ‘Yep, we’ve got it under control’. Basically, the full skip set it on fire.
“Like, what? What the hell is going on this morning.
“All I’m trying to do is have a shower and find an outfit for this baby brunch tomorrow and instead I’m Fireman Sam over here.”
The fire news comes shortly after Molly-Mae revealed the latest renovations in her stunning home.
Earlier this month Molly-Mae showed off the gorgeous new bedroom the mansion, sharing a series of snaps to her dedicated home remodelling Instagram account.
Gone were the warm cream and brown tones, in favour for a more cool grey aesthetic.
Molly-Mae replaced the wooden four-poster bed with a standard double bed and giant leather headboard, behind which sat a wall-to-wall mirror.
She also replaced the shell inspired circular ceiling fixture with a more sleek metallic and glass version.
At the other end of the room, Molly-Mae removed the inset arched shelves and cabinets for two floor-to-ceiling mirrors which sat on either side of the new, darker fireplace.
Molly-Mae also removed the TV from above the cream and black veined marble fireplace and replaced it with a stunning piece of artwork.
Two grey chaise lounges sat on either side of the room, replacing the cream one-seater armchairs that were there before.
Even the old bedroom was gorgeous, Molly explained why she felt the need to overhaul it completely.
“There was absolutely nothing wrong with the space before but because we’re planning to be here for a long time, we really wanted to make it feel completely like us… you all know how much I love my neutral, calming spaces,” she wrote.
“I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out… I’m so excited to keep making more special updates to our new home.”
Molly-Mae and her partner Tommy Fury purchased the luxurious mansion back in 2024.
It’s a Victorian-style building located in Cheshire which reportedly features six bedrooms.
