Plenty of Birdies at Purdue
Elijah Lemmon captured his first win in the 13U division on the Golfweek Jr Tour this past weekend at Purdue University. Elijah carded an impressive 10 birdies over 36 holes. His rounds of 69-71 were good enough for a one stroke, wire to wire victory. Macaulay Myers also recorded 10 birdies and posted rounds of 70-71, good for his second runner-up in two events this season. Third place finisher Brycen Tisch keeps his impressive summer rolling with two wins and a third in three events.
Silas Haarer captured his second win of the summer, with both wins coming at the Ackerman-Allen course at Purdue University. Silas's rounds of 66-73 were enough to secure not only the Boys 14-15 division, but also the overall Boys 14-19 competition. Silas entered Round 2 with a 3 shot cushion and cruised his way to three shot victory. Silas recorded 10 birdies over two rounds, following the trend set by the 13U winner, Elijah Lemmon. Ryan Parker's rounds of 72-70 secured his Runner-Up finish.
