Spring-Ford junior Luke Watson is certifiably hot.
After blitzing Union League National Golf Club with a
5-under-par 67 to claim a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour win at the
Jersey Shore last weekend, Watson was at it again Saturday.
This time, Watson only traveled across the Schuylkill River
from his Royersford home to Spring Hollow Golf Club and recorded a 4-under 66
to make it back-to-back 16-to-18 division Junior Tour wins.
Watson, a Class AAA East Regional qualifier last fall, made
an eagle on the par-5 sixth hole and had four birdies, including birdies on the
17th and 18th holes, in his sizzling round.
Christopher Waldmann of Malvern was the runnerup with a
2-over 72 and Eric Miller of West Chester took third place with a 78. Souderton
junior Stephen Butler, a PIAA Class AAA qualifier last fall, finished fourth
with a 79 and Kyle Bartholomew of Westampton, N.J. was fifth with an 80.
Luke Ciccarelli of Danville and Will Locovare of Warrington
shared sixth place, each carding an 81. Michael Walz of Berwyn finished eighth
with an 84.
Noah Kim made it a Royersford sweep of the boys divisions as
he had 10 pars in a solid 79 to take top honors in the 13-to-15 division.
Charles Ota of Blue Bell recorded a birdie at the 15th hole to take
second place with an 80.
Hunter Stetson of Newtown Square finished third with an 82
and Ryan Horenci of Lansdale and Daniel Shin of Horsham shared fourth place,
each posting an 83. Robert McNelly of Collegeville took sixth place with an 85
and Grady Hearn of Greentown was seventh with an 86.
Josh Baker of West Chester finished in eighth place with a
91, Tiger Li of Newtown was ninth with a 92 and Luke Fazio of Schwenksville
rounded out the top 10 as he ended up in 10th place with a 101.
Speaking of hot, Plymouth Meeting’s Rhianna Gooneratne made
it 6-for-6 since the Junior Tour turned the calendar to the wraparound 2019-2020
season as she carded a 7-over 77 to claim her sixth straight girls 13-to-15
division win. Gooneratne had four birdies, including three on the back nine,
where she recorded a 2-over 37.
Kate Roberts of Phoenixville and Emma Li of Newtown’s Team
Li shared runnerup honors, each carding a 91. Mia Pace of Exton took fourth
place with a 99 and Brynne Mushlin of Berwyn was fifth with a 118.
Alexandra Rasmussen of Lansdale was the lone entry in the
16-to-18 division and posted a 117 that included a par on the 11th
hole.
Nick Linkchorst of Glen Mills made three straight pars on
the second, third and fourth holes on his way to a 10-over 45 as he bested the
field of nine-holers. Chase Mitstifer of Sinking Spring was the runnerup with a
50.
Max Myers of Furlong finished third with a 55, Michael Liu
of Garnet Valley was fourth with a 57 and Joseph Gangemi Jr. of Downingtown was
fifth with a 69.
