Mohn, Peffel each match par at Regents' Glen to share top spot in a Philly Junior Tour stop

 

   Josh Mohn, a junior on the Saint Mark’s golf team, and Cameron Peffel, a junior on the Fleetwood golf team, each matched par with a 72 at Regents’ Glen Country Club in York to finish in a tie atop the leaderboard in the 16-to-18 division in a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour stop Saturday.

   Mohn, coming off a top-20 finish in the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) Championship at Baywood Greens earlier in the week, made an eagle on the par-5 ninth hole, added birdies at five and 15 and had 10 pars on his scorecard, including four straight pars to open his round.

   Peffel, who finished in a tie for second place in the PIAA Class AAA Championship as a sophomore with the Tigers in the fall of 2024, made birdies on the second and seventh holes and had 14 pars on his card, including a string of seven straight pars from eight through 14.

   The stop at Regents’ Glen was the first day of a Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS) York Series that concluded Sunday at Out Door Country Club. Points earned at JGS events can help players get status on some of the higher-profile junior circuits, most notably the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA).

   Holden Sparks, a PIAA Class AAA qualifier as a sophomore at Nazareth last fall, made birdies at the fourth, ninth and 16^th holes and had 11 pars on his card, including a run of six straight pars from 10 through 15, as he finished a shot behind Mohn and Peffel in third place with a 1-over 73.

   Luke Ladrido, a junior on the State College golf team, took fourth place with a 2-over 74, Onyu Park, a sophomore standout for Germantown Academy last fall, was fifth with a 75, and Charlie Ladrido, like Luke a junior on the State College golf team, was sixth with a 76.

   I’m guessing the Ladridos are brothers and probably twins, but I do know, for sure, they were members of the State College team that finished in a tie for second with Radnor, a shot behind Unionville in a tight battle for the PIAA Class AAA team crown last fall.

   Bryce Erwin, a PIAA Class AAA qualifier at Hershey last fall, and William Thorkelson, a Bryn Mawr resident and a freshman on the golf team at The Haverford School, finished in a tie for seventh place, each signing for a 77.

   Hayden Bartle of Coopersburg took ninth place with a 79 and Gus Stoltzfus, a PIAA Class AAA qualifier as a junior at Avon Grove last fall, rounded out the top 10 in the 16-to-18 division as he finished 10^th with an 80.

   Ian Lu took a road trip to York County from Edison, N.J. and earned a Philly Junior Tour victory in the 13-to-15 division with a solid 1-over 73.

   After making an early birdie at the third hole, Lu ripped off four consecutive birdies at seven, eight, nine and 10 and had six pars on his scorecard.

   Jason Leekley of Moorestown, N.J. made birdies on the seventh, 10^th and 14^th holes and had 12 pars on his card, including a string of four straight pars from three through six, as he finished a shot behind Lu in second place with a 2-over 74.

   Mason Kim of Blue Bell made birdies on the ninth, 11^th and 16^th holes and had 11 pars on his card, six of them on the incoming nine at Regents’ Glen, as he finished a shot behind Leekley in third place with a 4-over 75.

   Sebastian Leone, a freshman on the Radnor team that shared second place with State College in the PIAA Class AAA team competition last fall, and Sam Vinc, a PIAA Class AA qualifier as a freshman at Tamaqua last fall, shared fourth place, each registering a 4-over 76.

   Cole Miller of York took sixth place with a 77, Thomas Holt IV of Haddonfield, N.J. was seventh with a 79 and Chase Maurer of Lititz and Nathan Lobo of Collegeville finished in a tie for eighth place, each signing for an 81.

   Drew Gebhard, a freshman on the Cedar Crest golf team, and Brody Campbell of Plymouth Meeting rounded out the top 10 in the 13-to-15 division as they finished in a tie for 10^th place, each tallying an 82.

   Emma Bergey of Kennett Square made birdies on the third and 13^th holes and had nine pars on her scorecard with seven of those pars coming while touring the outgoing nine at Regents’ Glen in even-par 36 as she topped a short field in the girls 16-to-18 division with a solid 7-over 79.

   Emily Stauffer, who wrapped up her scholastic career at Warwick last fall, rounded out the field in the 16-to-18 division as she made a birdie on the third hole and had two pars on her card while finishing in second place with a 98.

   Raegan Young of Middletown made a birdie on the seventh hole and had seven pars on her scorecard, five of them on Regents’ Glen’s front side, as she claimed a Philly Junior Tour victory in the 13-to-15 division with an 88.

   Ella Buerhaus of Abingdon, Md. had six pars on her card as she earned runnerup honors with a 90 that left her two shots behind Young.

   Caroline Wallace of Chambersburg made birdies on the third and eighth holes and had three pars on her card as she finished in third place with a 95.

   Ella Barton of New Freedom took fourth place with a 96 and Sophia Carvalho of Downingtown rounded out the field in the 13-to-15 division as she finished fifth with a 108.

   Jace Collins of Spring Brook Township ripped off birdies at the third, seventh and ninth holes and had five pars on his scorecard as he bested the field of boys 12-and-under nine-holers with a sizzling 2-under 34.

   Connor Michaels of Lancaster and Damien Dollard, the reigning boys 12-and-under division Player of the Year from Cinnaminson, N.J., shared second place, each ending up three shots behind Collins with a 1-over 37.

   Michaels made birdies on the fourth and ninth holes and had four pars on his card. Dollard finished up his round with a birdie at the ninth hole and had six pars on his card.

   Talented 11-year-old Trisha Lobo, another member of Collegeville’s Team Lobo, made a birdie on the second hole and then ripped off seven straight pars to finish out her round as she topped a short field of girls 12-and-under nine-holers with a 1-over 37.
