Notre Dame's Marmorstein a shore thing at Avalon

   Havertown’s Brianna Marmorstein, a sophomore on Notre Dame’s Inter-Ac League powerhouse, fired an 86 at Avalon Golf Club Thursday to top the 13-to-15 age group for her first Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour victory.

   Marmorstein finished three shots ahead of Casey Oppenheimer of Conshohocken. A thunderstorm early in the day delayed play before the junior golfers headed out for a 2 p.m. shotgun start.

   In the boys 13-to-15 division, D.J. Colleran of Radnor posted a 4-over 75 over the 6,272-yard, par-71 Avalon layout to finish in a tie for third. Austin Barbin had a 1-under 70 to top the division.

   Also in the division, Tyler Zimmer of Bryn Mawr finished in a tie for fifth with a 78, Cortie Fischer of Villanova and Stephen Anthony Schreder of Radnor finished in a tie for 15^th with 85s, Joseph Dugery of Haverford was alone in 19^th place with an 88, James Quinn of Radnor was in a tie for 20^th with an 89 and Joe Hayden of Havertown finished in a tie for 22^nd with a 92.

   Davis Rosato of Villanova went 1-under on the back nine at Avalon on his way to a 2-over 73 that gave him the top spot in the 16-to-18 division.

   Luke Shevlin of Thornton and Conor Rinehart of Radnor shared third place at 76, Jimmy Murray of Springfield finished in a tie for seventh with an 82, Ryan Brennan of Media was another shot back in 10^th with an 83 and Joseph Dougherty of Drexel Hill finished in a tie for 12^th with an 85.

   Among the nine-holers, Darren Nolan of Glenside was the medalist with a 42. Charlie Bastian of Media finished in a tie for third with a 48, Ryan Garvey of Media finished in a tie for fifth with a 54 and Charlie and Matthew Hurchalla (I’m going to go ahead and guess that they’re brothers) of Wallingford finished eighth and ninth with a 55 and 61, respectively.

   Camille O’Halloran of Northfield, N.J. won the girls 16-to-18 division in a match of cards with Marybelle Daclan of Galloway, N.J. after both carded 4-over 75s.
