Playing a little catch-up on the Philadelphia Junior Tour
while concentrating on the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Junior Boys’
Championship. I’ll get to the Precision Pro Golf Open event at Turtle Creek
Golf Club at some point Friday … but first …
Pennridge senior Brendan Bauer and Drew Davenport of
Haverford each carded a solid 3-over-par 75 to share the top spot in the
16-to-18 division in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stop Tuesday at
Indian Valley Country Club in Telford.
Bauer and Davenport each made birdie on the par-3 sixth hole
as each earned a piece of the victory in the older age group.
Rocco Giannangeli of Oxford went 1-under on Indian Valley’s
front nine, the second nine of his round, to finish two shots behind the top
two in third place with a 77. Justin Pileggi of North Wales was another shot
behind Giannangeli in fourth place with a 78.
Nick DiPietro of Swedesboro, N.J. and a couple of Yardley
guys, Stephen Cain and Joshua Cicco, finished in a tie for fifth place, each signing
for an 81.
Rounding out the top 10 were four players tied for eighth
place at 82, including three more players who traveled to Indian Valley from
Yardley. Recent Pennsbury graduate Ethan Finkelstein and fellow Yardley
residents Ryan Rearden and Christopher Myers were in the group tied for eighth.
Rounding out that foursome was Luke Snyder of Exton.
There was another tie atop the 13-to-15 leaderboard as Will
Huntley of Lansdale and Scott Hughes of Ambler each posted a 4-over 76. Huntley
and Hughes each toured the incoming nine at Indian Valley in 1-over par.
Strath Haven sophomore Tyler Debusschere, who helped the
Panthers win the first Central League title in program history last fall, and
Kyle Mauro of Paoli shared third place, each carding a 79.
Connor Gherghel of Orwigsburg took fifth place with an 80,
Anthony Carson of Broomall was sixth with an 81, Joseph Halferty of Blue Bell
was seventh with an 82 and Nick Joyce of Quakertown was eighth with an 83.
Rounding out the top 10 in the 13-to-15 division was a
quintet tied for ninth place at 87, including Kyle Spirt of Dresher, Alec
Thiele of Philadelphia, Ethan Martin of North Wales, Brady Manning of
Downingtown and Evan Rosenstein of Plymouth Meeting.
The best score of the day among the girls came from the
winner of the 13-to-15 division as Avery McCrery of Wilmington, Del. had two
birdies in a three-hole stretch on her way to a 79.
Rachel Joyce of Quakertown’s Team Joyce was the runnerup to
McCrery with a solid 83 that included a 2-under run between the 11th
and 15th holes. Clarissa Leung of Villanova had nine pars in an 88
that gave her third place in the division.
Hannah Puc of Marlton, N.J. took fourth place with an 89,
Cierra Griffith of Pottstown was fifth with a 95 and Nina Harris of Furlong was
sixth with a 102.
There was another tie atop the leaderboard in the 16-to-18
division as Emma Shelby of Hellertown and Paige Cerminaro of Farmingdale, N.J.,
each signed for an 84. Shelby had birdies at the sixth and 12th
holes while Cerminaro matched Shelby’s birdie at the par-3 sixth and also
birdied the eighth hole.
Ashley Ea of Perkasie took third place with an 89, Suzie Ahn
of Paoli was fourth with a 99 and Skye Mada of Cherry Hill, N.J. was fifth with
a 106.
Lawson Leeper of York continued his recent domination among
the nine-holers as he made four pars to finish first in the coed 12-and-under
division with a 6-over 42.
Trevor Sieben of Medford, N.J. was the runnerup with a
steady 45 as he made no worse than bogey on eight of his nine holes. Declan
Conner of Swarthmore made no worse than bogey on seven of his nine holes as he
finished alone in third place with a 47.
Alaina Carson of Broomall’s Team Carson took fourth place
with a 49, Niklas Skjeveland of Jamison was fifth with a 50, Gus Stoltzfus of
Lincoln University was sixth with a 54 and Colin Burke of Wilmington, Del. was
seventh with a 57.
Brady Kelly of Warrington finished in eighth place with a 59
and Xinyun Zhou of Newtown rounded out the field of nine-holers as he finished
ninth with a 68.
