Lobo shows why she's a rising star with a solid showing in a Philly Junior Tour stop at Regents' Glan

 

   Trisha Lobo, the talented 10-year-old from Collegeville, was the only entry in the girls 12-and-under division when the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stopped at Regents’ Glen Country Club in York Sept. 13^th.

   All the kid did, though, was finish her round with a birdie on the ninth hole and post five pars on her scorecard for a 2-over-par 38.

   Lobo finished in third place in the Girls 7-9 Division in the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals at the Augusta National Golf Club in April of 2024, topping the field in the putting discipline.

   Lobo’s been very competitive among the girls 12-and-under nine-holers in 2025 and figures to be on her way to a lot of success in the junior ranks for years to come. After all, it sounds like she’s already got the putting thing figured out.

   Rylan Foust of Exton matched Lobo’s 2-over 38 on the front nine at Regents’ Glen to best the field of boys 12-and-under nine-holers. Foust made a birdie on the eighth hole and had five pars on his scorecard, including a string of four straight pars from four through eight.

   Rounding out the field in the boys 12-and-under division was Kash Gray of Eagleville, who finished in ninth place with a 56.

   Miles McGinty, a sophomore on the Warwick golf team, and Gabriel Boone of Camp Hill each signed for a 3-over 75 to claim the top spots in the boys 16-to-18 and 13-to-15 divisions, respectively.
