WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Top junior golfers from around the country will take on the par-71 layout at Taconic Golf Club this week.
 
For the second straight year, the PGA Junior Series will make a stop in Williamstown.
 
Three Mount Greylock students will be among the dozens vying for an exemption to August's 40th annual Junior PGA Championship in Bryan, Texas.
 
Kyle Alvarez and Matt Wiseman, who competed in the event last year, will be joined by Ben Gilooly, a rising freshman at Mount Greylock.
 
Sixty-four boys and 13 girls are registered for the event.
 
Last year's boys winner, Daniel Martinez of Austin, Texas, went on to finish in the top half of the field, 13 strokes off the pace, at the four-round Junior PGA.
 
Martinez carded a 7-over 220 over three rounds at Taconic last year to win the title by seven strokes.
 
In the girls division, New Jersey's Lois Kaye Go finished at 227 to edge Virginia's Alex Wright by one stroke.
 
Neither Martinez nor Go is back to defend his or her title this summer.
 
But Maya Walton of Austin, Texas, who led after Day One and was tied for the lead with Go heading to the final round, is registered to compete again this year.
 
And Delmar, N.Y.'s, Austin Fox, who won the boys 12-14 age group with a 235 a year ago, is back to play in the 15-18 age bracket.
 
Action is scheduled to get under way each day at 7:30 a.m.
