shared first place in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stop at Meadia
Heights Golf Club in Lancaster.
Leon and Fioravante, a PIAA Class AAA qualifier as a junior
at Berks Catholic last fall, each had multiple birdies on his scorecard while
Yenser’s steady round included only three holes that were worse than par all
day.
Eliajah Ruppert, who finished in a tie for third in the PIAA
Class AA Championship as a junior at Brandywine Heights last fall, shared
fourth place with Jake Shmonov of Harrisburg, each carding a 5-over 76, two
shots behind the top three, over the par-71 Meadia Heights layout.
Alex Gekas of York and Owen Wisner of Reading finished in a
tie for sixth place, each posting a 77.
Jack Novis of Lancaster took eighth place with an 82, Tanner
Cole of Lumberton, N.J. was ninth with an 83 and Tyler Swartz of Hummelstown
rounded out the top 10 as he was alone in 10th place with an 84.
Lucas Steinmetz, a sophomore at The Hill School, was very
consistent, making 11 pars on his way to an 8-over 79 that earned him top
honors in the 13-to-15 division.
Tyler Debusschere, who helped Strath Haven win the first
Central League title in program history as a freshman last fall, had a solid
front-nine 37 as he registered an 82 that gave him runnerup honors, three shots
behind Steinmetz. Luke Fazio of Schwenksville finished in third place with an
85 that included a birdie on the 12th hole.
Alec Thiele of Philadelphia took fourth place with an 87,
Jake Blackman of Pottstown was fifth with an 88 and Joey McGinty of Litiz was
sixth with a 90. A couple of Lancaster guys, Quinn Badger and Nicholas
Stramara, rounded out the 13-to-15 field as they finished in seventh and eighth
place with respective scores of 91 and 97.
The best score among the girls at Meadia Heights came out of
the 13-to-15 division as Avery McCrery of Wilmington, Del. had birdies at the
fourth, 10th and 16th holes on her way to a 78.
Silvana Gonzalez of Exton was the runnerup with a 97 that
included a birdie at the fifth hole and Emily Mayo of Boothwyn took third place
with a 105 that included a solid front-nine 49.
Keegan Dings of Lancaster had identical 45s on the two
Meadia Heights nines for a 90 that put her atop the leaderboard in the 16-to-18
division. Gwenaelle DeLeo of Lititz was the runnerup with a 98.
Davis Conaway of East Bradford continued his summer-long
roll in the coed 12-and-under division, making a birdie on the seventh hole on
his way to a 2-over 37 that gave him his 11th victory among the nine-holers
in the wraparound 2019-2020 season.
Lawson Leeper of York had four pars and nothing worse than a
bogey on his scorecard as he claimed runnerup honors with a 5-over 40. Ian Larsen
of Glenmoore matched Conaway’s birdie on the seventh hole as he finished alone in
third place with a 43.
Miles McGinty of Lititz’s Team McGinty took fourth place
with a 44 and Colby Komancheck of Royersford was another three shots behind
McGinty in fifth place with a 47.
