William Mirams of Stroudsburg won a scorecard playoff after
finishing tied for the top spot in the 16-to-18 age group with Jack Habeeb of
Scranton in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stop at Mahoning Valley
Country Club in Lehighton Thursday.
Mirams and Habeeb both toured the 6,562-yard, par-73
Mahoning Valley layout in 5-over 78. Mirams’ back-nine 39 proved to be decisive
in the match of cards.
Nikita Romanov of Wilmington, Del. and Ben Wiseman, a junior
on New Hope’s District One Class AA championship last fall, shared third place
at 80. Grant Gronka of Bloomsburg and Troy Kelleher of Clarks Summit finished
tied for fifth at 81.
Connor Kelleher – probably Troy’s brother since both are
from Clarks Summit and possibly twins since both are Class of 2019 – and
Michael Festa of Ambler finished tied for seventh, each posting an 82. Brandon
Gregg of North Wales finished ninth with an 83 and Simon Asadoorian of Richboro
rounded out the top 10 with an 86.
Win Thomas of Unionville rattled off nine straight pars from
holes six through 14 on his way to a 7-over 80 that gave him a victory in the
13-to-15 division. It was the second win of the week for Thomas, who prevailed
in a scorecard playoff Tuesday at Kennett Square Golf & Country Club.
Brett Ostroski of Shavertown was the runnerup with an 81, a
steady round that included 13 pars. James Ulsh of Carlisle finished third with
an 83, William Pabst of Roaring Brook Township was fourth with an 86 and Bobby
Lugiano of Shavertown was fifth with an 88.
Sean Kelly of Lewisburg and John Peters of Carlisle shared
sixth place, each posting a 94, and James DiDomenico of Downingtown was eighth
with a 109.
Olivia Patrow of East Stroudsburg captured the girls
16-to-18 division title with an 89 that included a pair of birdies on the front
nine. Jessica McClellan of Freeland was the runnerup with a 100.
Isabella McCloskey was the only competitor in the 13-to-15
division and carded a solid 84 that featured a birdie on the par-3 13th
hole.
Hunter Probst of Bear Creek bested the field of nine-holers
with an 8-over 43. Probst’s round was highlighted by a birdie on the par-4
fifth. John Keba was the runnerup with a 47 and Griffin Walizer of McElhattan
took third with a 48.
