Luterman's 77 gives him a Philly Junior Tour victory at Pennsauken

   Jack Luterman of Ardmore, playing out of the younger 13-to-15 division, had the best score of the day, a 7-over 77, as he claimed a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour victory at Pennsauken Country Club in Pennsauken, N.J. June 28^th.

   Luterman made back-to-back birdies at the eighth and ninth holes, added another at 18 and had seven pars on his scorecard to finish two shots clear of John Diamond of Philadelphia.

   Diamond made a birdie on the 17^th hole and had eight pars on his card to earn runnerup honors in the division with a 79.

   Trevor Sieben of Medford, N.J. had 10 pars on his card as he finished a shot behind Diamond in third place with an 80 on a par-70 Pennsauken layout that played tough on a sunny Wednesday.

   Jackson Lane of Cinnaminson, N.J. and Ben Mayer of Garnet Valley finished in a tie for fourth place, each posting an 81.

   Gus Stoltzfus of Lincoln University took sixth place with an 82, Benjamin Robbins of Holland was seventh with an 83 and Judd Fletcher of Moorestown, N.J. and Noah Taylor of Columbus, N.J. finished in a tie for eighth place, each recording an 84.

   Rounding out the top 10 in the 13-to-15 division was Chase Gillie of Newtown as he finished alone in 10^th place with an 86.

   Four players carded an 8-over 78 to finish atop the leaderboard in the 16-to-18 division and, when the tiebreakers were sorted out, the Philly Junior Tour victory went to Campbell Swart of Southampton. Swart made birdies at the third and 14^th holes and had eight pars on his scorecard.

   Runnerup honors went to Alex Henbest of Manahawkin, N.J. as he made back-to-back birdies at the eighth and ninth holes and had nine pars on his card.

   Recent Strath Haven graduate Tyler Debusschere finished in third place as his steady round featured a birdie on the 14^th hole and 10 pars, including a run of seven straight from the second through the eighth holes. Debusschere capped his scholastic career by earning a trip to the PIAA Class AAA Championship at Penn State last fall.

   Luke Canino of Sewell, N.J. settled for a fourth-place finish, although he had the most birdies of the group that carded 78s with birdies at the third, sixth, eighth and 17^th holes to go with four pars on his card.

   Jake Johnson of Wayne and Archbishop Carroll senior Matthew Hurchalla, like Debusschere a Wallingford resident, finished in a tie for fifth place, each recording a 79. That left six players separated by a shot in a competitive group of older guys.

   Hurchallla and Johnson went 1-2, respectively, in a Philly Junior Tour stop at Meadia Heights Golf Club two days earlier.

   Liam Shearn of Ardmore took seventh place with an 81 and Ethan Legarda of Voorhees, N.J. was eighth with an 82.

   The low score among the girls also emerged out of the 13-to-15 division as Katherine Liu of Moorestown, N.J. carded a solid 84 to finish three shots clear of Macai Klein, another Moorestown, N.J. entry.
