In one final tuneup for the District One Class AAA Championship, Boyertown senior Chase Dillman posted a solid 1-over 73 at Iron Valley Golf Club near Lebanon to claim a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour victory in the 16-to-18 division July 13th.
Dillman made an early birdie at the seventh hole and then finished strong, rattling off birdies at 16, 17 and 18. He also had nine pars on his scorecard on his way to recording his 10th Philly Junior Tour victory of 2024.
Dillman would struggle the next day in the opening round of the district tournament at Turtle Creek Golf Course with an 82 in high winds and chilly temperatures, but bounced back the following day with a 1-over 73 that left him in a tie for seventh place and, more importantly, punched his ticket to the PIAA Class AAA Championship.
Dillman struggled a little at the state tournament, finishing in a tie for 53rd place with an 11-over 155 total at Penn State’s White Course. But he got there.
