Georgia Tech junior and reigning Porter Cup champion Richy Werenski is among the most accomplished players in the field. Werenski opens play at Palm-Aire on Tuesday. Also at Palm- Aire will be Alex Carpenter, the 2010 Southern Amateur champion, aiming for a second marquee victory on the national stage. The top juniors include: Zachary Bachou, an accomplished tournament player on the AJGA circuits with a win and five Top 10 finishes in 2012; Eric Hallberg, the son of Champions Tour player Gary Hallberg, who boasts a T-4 at the 2012 St. Augustine Amateur; Matthew Marquez, the 2012 Caribbean Junior Amateur winner.
