Tappen cruises to Junior Tour victory with a 74 at Foxchase

   The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour hasn’t dropped a roundup of Saturday’s stop at Foxchase Golf Club. But I did manage to jot down the results from the running scoreboard before it disappeared from the Junior Tour website. If a roundup does appear, I might be able to get back to this post and flesh it out with some details. For now, here’s what I have:

   Jackson Tappen of Lower Gwynedd carded a solid 3-over-par 74 to take top honors in the 16-to-18 division in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior stop at Foxchase Golf Club in glorious October weather Saturday in Stevens, Lancaster County.

   Unionville senior Will Hage carded a 6-over 77 over the par-71 Foxchase layout to claim runnerup honors. Kyle Bartholomew of Westampton, N.J. took third place with an 81.

   Grey Conta of Hummelstown and Connor Martin of West Chester shared fourth place, each posting an 82. Noah Kim of Royersford finished sixth with an 89, Michael Romano of Norristown was seventh with an 89, a couple of Wayne entries, Nathan Jones and Sean Maguire, were eighth and ninth with respective scores of 90 and 93 and Ryan Reed of Manheim rounded out the top 10 as he finished alone in 10^th place with a 104.

   Dante Billoni of Lancaster carded a 79 to finish ahead of the pack in the 13-to-15 division. Sachin Blake of Berwyn claimed runnerup honors with an 81.

   Another member of Phoenixville’s Team Roberts, Kayley Roberts, shared fourth place with   Samantha Loninger of Crosswicks, N.J., each carding a 92. Amelia Loninger of Crosswicks, N.J. came up a shot short in the battle for low Loninger as she finished in sixth place with a 93. Brynne Mushlin of Berwyn took seventh place with a 117.
