Blair golfer Brody Deutschman leads the nine-hole tour standings of Nebraska Junior Golf's boys' 7-8 age division.
The youngster has won three of the four rounds he's played as of Thursday, scoring 195 points toward the standings. Max Nannen of Lincoln is second, winning two rounds on his own tour trips.
