Radnor freshman Gabby Kim remains a consistent force on the
Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour.
Saturday the Junior Tour visited Buena Vista Country Club in
New Jersey and Kim posted a steady 6-over 78 over the 5,438-yard (for girls),
par-72 layout to easily capture top honors in the 13-to-15 age group. Kim had
one birdie on the par-4 14th hole. Christine Shao of Green Brook,
N.J. was the runnerup with an 82.
Stephen Sul of Old Bridge, N.J. had the best score of the
day among the boys, his 77 giving him top honors in the 13-to-15 age group.
Also in that division, Jack McKnight (92) of Villanova
finished in a tie for 12th, Daniel Bullock (98) of Wayne finished 24th
and William Condran (101) of Radnor finished 25th.
Benjamin Hoeschel of Hockessin, Del. had the second-best
score among the boys, his 78 earning him the top spot in the 16-to-18 division.
Kelsey Patterson of Allentown topped the 16-to-18 division
among the girls with an 87. Bonner-Prendie senior Anna Haley, a Class AAA East
Regional qualifier last fall, finished sixth with a 105 and Radnor sophomore
Caitlin Bullock finished eighth with a 114.
Luke Farquhard of Haddon Heights, N.J. topped the
nine-holers with a 41. Joseph Morganti of Havertown was the runnerup with a 44.

Square finished in a tie for eighth, Jackson Fields (50) of Glen Mills and
Andrew Miller (50) of Bryn Mawr finished in a tie for 10th and Alec
Stern (51) of Bryn Mawr finished in a tie for 12th.
Lutz wins Warner Cup
Chip Lutz is fast becoming a legendary senior amateur golfer
-- nationally, internationally, you name it.
The 59-year-old Reading-area legend recently represented the
United States in the Concession Cup, a Walker Cup-style event that features
mid-amateurs, senior amateurs and super-senior amateurs from the United States
against Great Britain and Ireland.
But that doesn’t keep
the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s four-time reigning Senior Player of the
Year from teeing it up in the Francis B. Warner Cup Thursday at Talamore
Country Club.
Lutz fired a 1-under 70 over the 6,626-yard, par-71 layout
to take the Warner Cup by three shots over Overbrook Golf Club’s Chris Lange,
Byron Whiteman of Golden Oaks Golf Club and Ed Chylinski of Chester Valley Golf
Club, all of whom came in at 2-over 73.
Overbrook’s Ray Thompson, who lost to Lutz in the
quarterfinals of the U.S. Senior Amateur last fall, was another shot back of
that trio in a tie for fifth with a 74. Lange and Thompson were tuning up for
Saturday’s GAP Team Match playoff, which Overbrook won (more on that in a blog
post later this week as some of the details emerge, but how about this trio
representing Team Overbrook at Aronimink Golf Club: Michael Kania, Greg Jarmas
and Sean Fahey).
Jon Lavin of Rolling Green Golf Club posted a 4-over 75 to
finish in a tie for 10th.
Rich Thon of The Springhaven Club also had a strong showing
with a 78.
In the Super-Senior division, William Lawler of Fox Hill
Country Club emerged from a four-way playoff to take the title. Lawler, Carl
Everett of Merion Golf Club, Don Donatoni of White Manor Country Club, Jay
Howson Jr. of St. Davids Golf Club and Jon Mayberry of the Moorestown Field
Club all came in at 76, but par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff
game Lawler the title.
Among some of the other top Super-Senior finishers were
Gregory Gaul of Merion with a 79 and Rick Bunn of McCall Golf & Country
Club with an 80.
