Steinmetz breezes to Junior Tour victory with 69 at North Hills



   Drew Steinmetz of Gilbertsville had four birdies in posting a 2-under-par 69 that gave him a victory in the 16-to-18 division in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stop at North Hills Country Club in Glenside Monday.
   Steinmetz had the day’s best score by a whopping eight shots as the 6,450-yard, par-71 North Hills layout proved to be a tough challenge for the Junior Tour players.
   The Hill School’s Jack Murray and Jack Marvin of Ambler shared second place in the 16-to-18 division as each carded a 77. Ben Wiseman of New Hope finished fourth with an 83.
   Joseph Dugery of Haverford and James Donnelly V of Sewell, N.J. finished tied for fifth, each posting an 86. Jerry Haftmann of Springfield finished seventh with an 87, Davis McCourt of Philadelphia was eighth with an 89 and Jason Swartz of Maple Glen was ninth with a 93.
   Jared Berger of Blue Bell and Grant Molloy of Ambler shared 10th place at 94 and Joseph Monaghan of Fort Washington was 12th with a 95.
   Win Thomas of Unionville had two birdies, one on each side, to capture top honors in the 13-to-15 division with a 6-over 77.  Luke Corcoran of Lansdale was the runnerup with an 80.
Darren Nolan of Glenside finished third with an 81, Benjamin Saggers of West Chester, moving up from the ranks of the nine-holers, was  fourth with an 83 and Jack Romeo of Ambler and Jack Davis of Newtown Square shared fifth place at 85.
   Chase Stephano of Radnor finished seventh with an 86 and Kevin Deng of Devon was eighth with an 88. Rounding out the top 10 were three players tied for ninth at 91, including Kevin Lafond of Blue Bell, Luke Marvin of the Ambler Marvins and Connor Cunningham of Dresher.
   Sydney Yermish of Wynnewood moved up from the nine-holers and right into the winner’s circle, taking the top spot in the girls 13-to-15 division with an 87. Molly Gregor of North Wales was the runnerup with a 96 and Nora Blatney of Wyndmoor was third with a 105.
   Ethan Martin of North Wales finished strong with pars on three of his last four holes to card an 8-over 44 and best the field of nine-holers. Scott Hughes of Ambler was the runnerup, just a shot behind Martin with a 45.
   Colin Broderick of Huntingdon Valley and Daniel Shin of Horsham finished tied for third, each carding a 46. William Huntley of Lansdale finished fifth with a 49.
   The first of what looks like two pairs of siblings that came in with the same score came at 50 as Fiona Gooneratne and Rhianna Gooneratne of the Plymouth Meeting Gooneratnes finished tied for sixth.
   Brandan Burke of Churchville finished eighth with a 52 and Gavin Michener of Plymouth Meeting was ninth with a 54. Rounding out the top 10 in what looks like another pair of siblings are Emma Reilly and Brendan Reilly of the Warrington Reillys, who finished tied for the 10th at 56.
