Heinz captures Junior Tour 12-and-under crown wtih an 80 at Flourtown

   Mark Heinz of Huntingdon Valley had nine pars on his way to an 80 at Flourtown Country Club as he claimed the title in the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour’s 12-and-under Championship Friday.

   The younger set had the stage to itself for this event and Heinz won a BagBoy push cart with his solid round over the 5,427-yard, par-70 Flourtown layout.

   Hank Kancher of Philadelphia had a birdie on the sixth hole and two pars on the front nine and held a one-shot lead after the first tour of the nine-hole Flourtown layout before finishing with an 82 that earned him runnerup honors.

   Joey McGinty of Lititz was another shot behind Kancher in third place with an 83. McGinty had birdies on the ninth, 16^th and 17^th holes and carded a solid 3-over 38 for his last nine holes.

   Hunter Probst of Bear Creek and Jax Puskar of Kennett Square shared fourth place, each carding an 89, and Ethan Martin of North Wales and Jake Grossman of Elkins Park finished in a tie for sixth place, each posting a 90.

   A couple of Coopersburg entries, Frankie Boensch and Colin Samoski accounted for the next two spots on the leaderboard as Boensch took eighth place with a 94 and Samoski was ninth with a 96.

   Sean Curran of Newtown Square rounded out the top 10 as he posted a 103 to finish alone in 10^th place. Curran was the runnerup up to Jack Homer in the recent Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Junior-Junior Boys’ Championship over the same Flourtown layout.

   Benjamin Boyanoski of Scranton finished 11^th with a 104 and J.P. Klock of Oreland was 12^th with a 107.
