Western Pennsylvania claims the title as Keystone State dominates Williamson Cup


   Some of the top junior golfers from all over Pennsylvania did a pretty nice job representing the Keystone State in the Williamson Cup, featuring four-man teams of juniors from several golf associations, including a couple from Canada, Tuesday at St. Clair Country Club in western Pennsylvania’s Upper St. Clair Township.
   Western Pennsylvania captured the title with rounds of 219 and 224 for a 443 total. The top three scores from the four-man teams counted and the youngsters played 36 holes Tuesday.
   A solid foursome from the Golf Association of Philadelphia shared second place with Washington Metropolitan, five shots behind Western Pennsylvania at 448. Another overall Pennsylvania team was another shot behind GAP and Washington Metropolitan in fourth at 449.
   Metropolitan New York, which always fields a solid team in this event, finished fifth at 450 and Quebec was another six shots behind Metropolitan New York in sixth at 456.
   A solid Delaware entry shared seventh place with Syracuse at 456. Ontario finished ninth at 466, Rochester was 10th at 477 and Buffalo rounded out the 11-team field at 479.
   It was a true team effort for Western Pa. as it got off to a nice start Tuesday morning when Latrobe senior Brady Pevarnik, coming of a really solid tie for third in the Pennsylvania Amateur at Sunnehanna Golf Club in Johnstown, opened with the best round of the day, a 3-under 69.
   Jimmy Meyers and Neal Shipley, who were sophomores on Pittsburgh Central Catholic’s 2016 PIAA Class AAA championship team, added rounds of 73 and 77 to give Western Pa. the best team round of the day, a 219 total.
   Western Pa. was able to toss a 78 from Angus McHolme, an Elizabeth Forward senior who earned a trip to the U.S. Junior Amateur at Baltursol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. last month.
   In the afternoon, McHolme and Shipley each carded a 1-over 73 to lead Western Pa. to a 224 total. Meyers, who led the PIAA Class AAA Championship after the first round last fall before ending up tied  for fourth, was the final counter in the afternoon with a 78. Western Pa. tossed Pevarnik’s afternoon 82.
   The GAP team had a pair of Spring-Ford Country Club representatives on its squad, including GAP Junior Boys’ champion Ryan Tall, a Conestoga graduate who is headed for Lafayette, and Ben Pochet, a two-time District One Class AAA champion at Spring-Ford High who will join Ben Feld’s Drexel program later this month.
   Tall, who reached the BMW Philadelphia Amateur semifinals the week before he claimed the Junior Boys’ crown, led the way in the morning, matching par with a 72. Harriton junior Andrew Wallace, who plays out of Green Valley Country Club, added a 74 and Pochet, who was a repeat winner of the Christman Cup this summer, carded a solid 76 as the GAP team posted a 222 total and trailed Western Pa. by just three.
   Blue Bell Country Club’s Anthony Barr, a Souderton product who is headed for McDaniel College, carded an 81.
   But Barr, winner of the Jock MacKenzie Memorial and the Harry Hamond Award this summer, had the best round of the afternoon session, a 1-under 71 to lead the way for Team GAP.
   Tall added a 76 and Wallace posted a 79 as GAP put up a 226 in the afternoon round. Team GAP was able to throw out Pochet’s 85.
   In sharing second with Team GAP, Washington Metropolitan was led by the top individual performer for the day, Carlo Pizzano, who opened with an even-par 72 and added a 2-over 74 in the afternoon for a 2-over 146 total.
   Team Pennsylvania’s fourth-place finish was sparked by Central Bucks East senior Patrick Sheehan, who opened with a 3-over 75 in the morning and added a 1-over 73 in the afternoon. Sheehan, who qualified for match play in the Philly Am and the GAP Junior Boys only to see his match-play runs halted by Tall in both tournaments, finished tied for fifth in the individual scoring at 4-over 148.
   Team Pennsylvania’s other counters in the morning were a 76 by Benjamin Smith and a 77 by Jack Irons, who plays out Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia, as it carded a 228 total. St. Joseph’s Prep’s Joseph Morganti, who plays out of Llanerch Country Club, had an 85, which Team Pennsylvania was able to toss.
   Irons and Smith backed up Sheehan’s 73 in the afternoon by each carding a 2-over 74 as Team Pennsylvania’s 221 total was the best team score of the round. Morganti improved with a 77, but still couldn’t crack the top three for Pennsylvania.
   Delaware was led by Austin Barbin, a senior at Red Lion Christian School, who, like Tall and Sheehan, qualified for match play in the Philly Am and the GAP Junior Boys. Barbin had a 3-over 75 as Delaware posted a morning total of 230.
   The First State’s two other counters were Danny Dougherty, a Tower Hill product who is headed for Villanova and carded a 77, and Wilmington’s Nikita Romanov, who has been one of the busiest junior golfers in the region the last three summers and posted a 78. Delaware tossed an 85 from Kyle Stassle.
   Barbin had another solid round in the afternoon with a 4-over 76, a score matched by Romanov. Dougherty’s 82 was the final counter with Stassle carding a 86.
   Three players shared second place in the individual standings, a shot behind Pizzano at 3-over 147, including Brendan Hansen of Metropolitan New York, Laurent Desmarchais of Quebec and Barrett Ruby of Ontario.
  Tall shared fifth place with his familiar match-play rival this summer, Sheehan, at 4-over 148.
