Estancia High freshman Ryan Knapp tied for fourth in Flight B (ages 13-15) at the L.A. City Junior Golf Championships, which concluded Monday.

Knapp fired an even-par 214 over the three-day tournament, playing in the final foursome on Sunday at Encino Golf Course.

He was one of only two players in the field under par for the first two rounds, making six birdies in the second round.

Chase Patten of Simi Valley won the Flight B title, firing a 208.
