Hoping to make a trip out to Lancaster Country Club
Wednesday and assess the state of women’s golf (I don’t think the women’s game
has ever been more compelling than it is right now, if you must know) in
advance of the U.S. Women’s Open for a story in Thursday’s Daily Times, but
there doesn’t seem to be any reason to sit on the latest Philadelphia Section
PGA Junior Tour results, so here we go.
I’m not certain if Jake Calamaro is following big sister
Jackie’s footsteps and going to Radnor, but if he is, he displayed a pretty good
handle on the Turtle Creek Golf Club layout that is annually the site of the
District One Tournament in an Elite Tour stop at the Turtle that finished up
Friday.
Calamaro had a pair of 75s over the 6,518-yard, par-72
Turtle Creek layout to finish third in the 13-to-15 division. He finished two
shots back of Drew Steinmetz of Gilbertsville, who followed up an opening-round
of even-par 72 with a 76 for a 4-over 148 total. Benjamin Pochet (75-74—149) of Royersford
finished second.
This is an educated guess, but a guess nonetheless, but I
would not be surprised if Drew Steinmetz is the son of Spring-Ford Country Club
head pro Rich Steinmetz, whom I covered as a high school standout at Perkiomen
Valley in a previous lifetime at The Mercury in Pottstown.
D.J. Colleran of Radnor had rounds of 78 and 84 for a 162
total that left him in a tie for 13th.
The Elite Tour events also crown an overall 13-to-18 winner
and recent Spring-Ford graduate John Foley had rounds of 68 and 74 to claim
that title at 2-under 142. Foley was the runnerup in Class AAA in the 2013
District One Tournament at the Turtle, so he knows his way around the layout
pretty well.
Morgan Frazier of Mechanicsburg won the overall girls title
with rounds of 72 and 74 and a 146 total. Maddie Sager, a two-time state
qualifier at Owen J. Roberts, finished second with a pair of 76s and a 152
total. Theresa Luu of Mullica Hill, N.J. won honors in the 13-to-15 division
with rounds of 86 and 80 for a 166 total.
