Yao captures Philadelphia Girls Junior PGA Championship with 68 at Bellewood


  Recent Conestoga graduate Samantha Yao has been one of the best high school players in Pennsylvania for the last three years, twice winning the District One Class AAA title and posting three top-five finishes in the PIAA Class AAA Championship.
   So it’s only fitting that Yao will cap her career as a junior golfer by representing the Philadelphia area at the 44th Girls Junior PGA Championship, which tees off July 9 at the Keney Park Golf Course in Hartford, Conn.
   Yao fired a 3-under-par 68 at Bellewood Country Club in North Coventry Township to capture the title in the Philadelphia Girls Junior PGA Championship Thursday and grab one of just two tickets available to one of the biggest national events in junior golf.
   Yao, who plays out of White Manor Country Club, lost in a four-hole playoff to former Agnes Irwin standout Kaitlyn Lees for the final ticket to last year’s Girls Junior PGA Championship, which was played at the Kearney Hill Golf Links in Lexington, Ky. Last year’s Philadelphia Girls Junior PGA Championship was a 36-hole test. Not sure if the event was shortened to one round this year or if weather played a factor because there was certainly some weather around.
   Yao will join Lees, who had a solid freshman season, at Dartmouth at the end of the summer, which will give the Big Green two of Pennsylvania’s top junior players in the last five years.
   Yao beat a field that was filled with talented junior players in the Philadelphia region, some like Yao, nearing the end of their junior eligibility, and a host of others.
   Another veteran junior player, Esther Park of Wilmington, Del., who has been one of the top high school players in the First State, grabbed the other ticket to Keney Park as she matched par at Bellewood with a 71 to earn runnerup honors, three shots behind Yao.
   Park is a recent A.I. DuPont graduate who will join the Georgetown program later this summer. She was part of a teen threesome of standouts who joined forces to help the First State finish second in the final edition of the USGA Women’s State Team Championship at The Club at Las Campanas’ Sunrise Course in Santa Fe, N.M. in the fall of 2017.
   The first alternate was Park’s Delaware high school rival, Rylie Heflin, who finished a shot behind Park with a 1-over 72. Heflin, an Avondale resident, capped her sophomore season at Tower Hill by finishing second in the DIAA Tournament, Delaware’s state championship, at Cripple Creek Country Club last month.
   The second alternate was Elizabeth Beek of Blue Bell, who carded a 2-over 73. Not sure where Beek will play high school golf, but she just completed eighth grade and has been a solid performer in the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour events for the last few summers.
   Pennsbury junior Jade Gu, the Class AAA East Regional champion who finished seventh in the PIAA Championship last fall, shared fifth place with George School junior Natasha Kiel, a New Hope resident, as each carded a 3-over 74.
   Emmaus junior Michelle Cox, a PIAA Class AAA qualifier last fall, placed seventh with a 4-over 75. Jona Angela Magcalayo, a Philippines invader who is spending a second straight spring playing junior golf in our region, was a shot behind Cox in eighth place with a 5-over 76. Central Bucks East senior Sarah Scarpill, a Class AAA East Regional qualifier last fall, was alone in ninth place with a 6-over 77.
   Sydney Yermish, who earned a ticket to last summer’s U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship at Poppy Hills Golf Course on northern California’s Monterey Peninsula as a 12-year-old, shared 10th place with Kiera Bartholomew of Westampton, N.J. as each carded a 7-over 78.
   Like Beek, Yermish, who plays out of Rolling Green Golf Club, just completed eighth grade. Not sure where Yermish will play high school golf, but it would be the start of an interesting rivalry if Beek and Yermish both show up at the District One Championship in the fall.
   Yermish kicked off her spring by finishing fifth in the Girls 12-13 division in the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals at Augusta National Golf Club the Sunday of Masters week.
   Episcopal Academy junior Lauren Jones, who led the Churchwomen to their second straight Inter-Ac League championship this spring, headed a group of three players tied for 12th at 79. Jones, who plays out of Merion Golf Club, was the runnerup in the Inter-Ac League Championship last month at French Creek Golf Club.
   Joining Jones at 8-over were Strath Haven sophomore Grace Smith and another Delaware standout, Padua Academy senior Haley Quickel.
