Salpointe's Harris is one to watch 

My Tucson athlete of the week: Salpointe Catholic sophomore golfer Haylin Harris. One of 78 who qualified for the AJGA 2015 national championships, Harris shot a second-round 69 in Greenville, South Carolina, to jump into fourth place against a field of girls mostly two years her senior. Harris finished tied for 17th overall, caught a late flight back to Tucson on Monday night and was on the tee at Randolph North at 4 p.m. Tuesday, where she shot a 1-over 37 against rival Sahuaro. If Harris isn’t careful, she’ll soon expand the Big Four of Tucson girls golf history: Cindy RarickSara BrownVicki Suhocki and current UA sophomore Krystal Quihuis
