There is only feat that’s tougher to accomplish on a golf
course than a hole-in-one and that’s the double eagle.
Tyler Zimmer of Bryn Mawr got himself one of those
Wednesday, holing out his second shot on one of the par-5 holes at the Wildwood
Golf & Country Club, and it led to a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour
victory in the 13-to-15 age group.
Zimmer also had three birdies on his way to a sparkling
1-under-par 71 over the 6,319-yard, par-72 Wildwood layout that was seven shots
better than the next closest finisher in his age group. Michael Mitnick of
Linwood, N.J. was the runnerup with a 78.
Nicky Scarpone of Broomall finished third with a 79 and Luke
Watson of Royersford was fourth with an 81.
Jack Davis of Newtown Square and Ryan McCabe of Media
finished tied for fifth, each carding an 82, and David Fitzgerald Jr. of Bryn
Mawr and Kevin Motil of Sewell, N.J. shared seventh place at 83.
Jackson Putney of Egg Harbor Township, N.J. finished alone
in ninth place with an 84 and Chase Cohen of Villanova rounded out the top 10
with an 85.
Jack Sullivan of Petersburg, N.J. had three birdies to top
the field in the 16-to-18 division for his second career Junior Tour victory
with a 1-over 73. Christopher D’Alessandro of Waretown, N.J. was the runnerup
with a 4-over 76.
Jack McCarthy of Landenberg finished third with a 79 and
Nathan Potts of Wilmington, Del. and Matthew Fleming of Richboro finished tied
for fourth, each posting an 82. Joseph Dougherty of Drexel Hill finished alone
in sixth with an 83.
Christopher Colman of Wenonah, N.J. and Matthew Thomas of
Mount Laurel, N.J. shared seventh place at 84 and Joe Polidoro of Glassboro, N.J.
and Jackson Paradee of Dover, Del. rounded out the top 10 as they finished tied
for ninth at 85.
The winners of both the girls 16-to-18 and 13-to-15
divisions, Amanda Jones and Lauren Jones, both of Newtown Square and both of
whom play out of Merion Golf Club, teamed up to finish second in the girls
division in the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Francis X. Hussey Memorial
Monday at Rolling Green Golf Club. Pretty sure they’re sisters and pretty sure
their mom was a pretty good high school golfer at Haverford High back in the
day.
Amanda Jones claimed the top spot in the 16-to-18 division,
her first Junior Tour victory, with a 97. Olivia Morgan of Meadowbrook was the
runnerup with a 115.
Lauren Jones bested the field in the 13-to-15 division, her first
Junior Tour victory as well, with an 87.
Olivia Strigh of Hammonton, N.J. was the runnerup with a 90.
The next two spots were filled by the winning team in the
girls division at the Hussey, Riley Quartermain of Bryn Mawr and who plays out
of Llanerch Country Club and Kathleen Mark of Media and who plays out of
Rolling Green, finished third and fourth with respective scores of 92 and 97.
Sydney Yermish of Wynnewood has been knocking on the door
and finally gained her first Junior Tour win as she birdied the seventh hole on
her way to a 7-over 43 that gave her the top spot among the nine-holers.
Joseph Fargnoli of Laurel Springs, N.J. was the runnerup
with a 51. Ryan Murphy of Newtown and Gwendolyn Powell of Madison Township
shared third place, each carding a 52. Luca Gherardi of Hammonton, N.J.
finished fifth with a 54.
Santino Fargnoli of Hammonton, N.J., likely the younger
brother of runnerup Joseph Fargnoli, finished sixth with a 58 and Paul Reilly
of West Creek, N.J. took seventh with a 59.
