Thomas Butler of Telford won a scorecard playoff with Caleb
Ryan of Norristown after both players carded a 3-over 73 to give Butler the
victory in the 16-to-18 division in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stop
Saturday at Spring Hollow Golf Club in East Vincent Township.
Butler had a birdie on the par-5 13th hole, which
helped him card a 36 on the back nine and that proved to be the difference in
the match of cards. Dan DeRita of Media was another shot back with a 74 over
the 6,006-yard, par-70 Spring Hollow layout to finish alone in third place.
Andrew Koh of Dresher took fourth with a 76, Alex Golland of
Wynnewood was fifth with a 77 and Matthew Law of Yardley placed sixth with an
80. Alexander Cloak of Oley and Jason Podgorski of Flemington, N.J. shared
seventh place, each carding an 81, Tyler Teague of Paoli was ninth with an 85
and Jerry Haftmann of Springfield rounded out the top 10 by finishing alone in
10th with an 86.
Ryan D’Ariano of West Chester matched the day’s lowest score
with a 3-over 73 that gave him the title in the 13-to-15 division. D’Ariano had
three birdies on his card. Matthew Lafond of Blue Bell and Joshua Ryan of
Norristown shared runnerup honors as they tied for second at 75. Pretty strong
showing for the Ryan family.
Jordan Pick of Sugarloaf took fourth with a 76, Dyan
Gooneratne of Plymouth Meeting was fifth with a 77, Patrick Laushell of
Morrisville was sixth with an 80 and Jack Cooley of Chadds Ford was seventh
with an 81.
James Quinn of Radnor and John Wang of Wilmington, Del.
shared eighth place, each carding an 84. Rounding out the top 10 were Kevin
Motil of Sewell, N.J., Peter Banfe of Moorestown, N.J. and Stephane de Brechard
of Brooklyn, N.Y., all of whom finished in a tie for 10th at 85.
Sera McClintock of West Chester was the only entrant in the girls
16-to-18 division, so her 117 was good for a win.
Maya Torpey of Malvern bested Eden Richmond of Princeton,
N.J. in a scorecard playoff to win the 13-to-15 division after both carded a
90. Torpey had a 44 on the back nine, which proved to be the difference in the
match of cards. Kate Green of Bryn Mawr finished third with a 108.
Benjamin Saggers of West Chester topped the field among the
nine-holers with a 4-over 39. A stretch of five straight pars on the front nine
at Spring Hollow helped Saggers claim the win. Aaron Skii, also of West
Chester, was the runnerup with a 42.
Nicholas Gross of Downingtown finished third with a 43,
Megan Adelman of Bryn Mawr and Ajeet Bagga of Blue Bell ended up in a tie for
fourth at 44, Sydney Yermish of Wynnewood was sixth with a 45 and Ryan Garvey
of Media was seventh with a 48.
