The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour got one more event
in for 2016 Sunday at Mainland Golf Club in Harleysville and Alec Ryden made
the most of the opportunity with a 6-over-par 76 to take top honors in the
16-to-18 division.
Ryden nearly drove the green at the short par-4 12th,
but still turned that into his only birdie of the day over the 6,146-yard, par-70
Mainland layout as he finished a shot ahead of Nikita Romanov of Wilmington,
Del., who had a 77.
As I mentioned in my post on Saturday’s stop at Foxchase
Golf Club, Romanov was recently named the Junior Tour Player of the Year in the
13-to-15 age group. I’ll wrap up the season award winners in a post later this
week.
Frankie Markiewicz of Middletown, Del. place third with a
79, David Shaffer of Warrington was fourth with an 81, Simon Asadoorian of
Richboro was fifth with an 84 and James Poot of Pottstown was sixth with a 92.
Rounding out the top 10 were four players – Radnor High
junior Daniel Bullock, Michael Festa of Ambler, Evan Kreiser of Telford and
Justin Panner of Harleysville – tied for seventh, each carding a 96.
Stephen Lorenzo of Lower Gwynedd had a birdie on his way to
a 77 that gave him the title in the 13-to-15 division. Darren Nolan of Glenside
and Dylan Gooneratne of Plymouth Meeting shared second place at 78, just a shot
back of Lorenzo.

Lindsey Forgarasi of Collegeville birdied the par-4 seventh
hole on her way to a 97 that gave her the victory in the girls’ 16-to-18
division. Savanna Haas was the runnerup with a 112.
Eden Richmond of Princeton, N.J. was the lone entry in the
13-to-15 division and her 99 earned her the victory.
Among the nine-holers, Ajeet Bagga of Blue Bell had seven
pars in a 2-over 37 that earned him the win. Nicholas Gross of Downingtown was
the runnerup with a 38, capping a strong weekend that saw him win the division
Saturday at Foxchase.
