Episcopal Academy product Joe Chambers got a share of eighth
place and Chichester junior Caprian Kan was ninth as a field of the top players
from the Philadelphia Section PGA’s Junior Tour and the New Jersey Section PGA’s
Junior Tour gathered at the Old York Country Club over the weekend for the
Bustard Memorial Junior Invitational.
The event is named for Paul L. Bustard, a long-time Old York
Country Club member who wanted to give back to the game by hosting a tournament
for the promising young players in the two sections.
Byron Chin of Princeton Junction, N.J. took top honors among
the boys with rounds of 73 and 76 over the 6,377-yard, par-71 Gary Player
