Alec Ryden of Moorestown, N.J. had five birdies on his way
to victory in the 16-to-18 division with a 4-over 74 in a Philadelphia Section
PGA Junior Tour stop Sunday at The Bucks Club.
Clement Shao of Warren, N.J. was just a shot back in second
with a 75 over the 6,210-yard, par-70 Bucks Club layout.
Patrick Sheehan of Doylestown took third with a 76, Thomas
Butler of Telford was fourth with a 77, Andreas Aivazoglou, a sophomore at The
Haverford School, was fifth with a 78 and Alex VanScoy of Newark, Del. was
sixth with a 79.
Malvern Prep sophomore Andrew Curran of Media shared seventh
place with Neel Vidmans of West Chester, Brandon Cassidy of Doylestown and
Jaden Weisman of Malvern, each player carding an 80.
John Wang of Wilmington, Del. took top honors in the
13-to-15 division in a scorecard playoff with Ryan D’Ariano of West Chester
after both posted a 78. Wang’s back-nine 38 proved to be decisive.
Nicholas Hano of Warrington finished third with an 80, Dylan
Gooneratne of Plymouth Meeting was fourth with an 81, Matthew Lafond of Blue
Bell was fifth with an 84, Matthew Fleming of Richboro was sixth with an 85 and
Mario Ventresca III of Blue Bell was seventh with an 86.

of Wayne was ninth with a 91 and Sean Kearney of Hatfield rounded out the top
10, taking 10th with a 96.
April Xu of Southampton won the girls’ 16-to-18 division
with a 92, coming on strong on the back nine with a 43. Mackenzie Cassidy of
Hatboro was the runnerup with a 120.
Elizabeth Beek of Blue Bell carded an impressive 80 that
featured a birdie on the third hole to claim the 13-to-15 division. Beek is
listed in the results as being Class of 2023, which, by my calculation, would
make her a sixth-grader. Shooting 80 on a 5,377-yard course. So … whoa.
Maya Torpey of Malvern was the runnerup with a 90. Eden
Richmond of Princeton, N.J. finished third with a 91, Sarah Scarpill of
Warrington was fourth with a 92 and Caitlyn Hagerty of Glen Mills was fifth

nine-holers with Kristof Kopecky of Garnet Valley besting Benjamin Saggers of
West Chester after both carded a 6-over 42. Kopecky took 14 shots on the last
three holes to earn the victory.
Zachary Sandler of Gladwyne took third with a 44, Nicholas
Gross of Downingtown was fourth with a 45, Henry Stone of Kennett Square was
fifth with a 46 and Amit Limaye of Short Hills, N.J. was sixth with a 47.

at 52.
