Blumberg shines

I covered the Brewster vs. Harrison match today and one person ended up stealing the show: Danny Blumberg.
The Brewster junior was spectacular, firing a 2-under-par 34 on the South Course at Westchester Country Club. Blumberg told me afterwards that he was just so excited to play the course for the first time that he didn’t even care about his score. Whatever he was thinking, it certainly worked.
He eagled the par 5 third, made birdie on No. 5 then made an incredible up-and-down from 90 yards to save par on No. 6. His only blemish came at No. 8 when his tee shot just went through the green. He wound up making a double bogey, but bounced back to birdie No. 9.
Teammate Mike Miller had a tough time on the greens with 19 putts, but still managed a 38. Mark Delzio added a 41 as the Bears stayed undefeated at 10-0 with a 217 to 221 win.
Both teams were missing players due to Spring Break, but the match turned out how it probably would if both teams were at full strength.
Eighth-grader Michael Ditursi led Harrison (5-3) with a 39 and Andrew Lichtenauer tossed in a roller-coaster 41. The senior had three birdies and no pars.
Brewster will now head into a huge tri-match with Rye and Horace Greeley at Mount Kisco Country Club Monday. Rye defeated Brewster and Harrison in last year’s Section 1 Championship so it should be a good one.
I will be in attendance so check back for details.
