The Ike

June
24

The second day of the Ike, one of the Metropolitan Golf Association’s three major championships, is well underway at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, N.J.

Nehansic Valley’s Kevin Foley, who just finished an All-American sophomore season at Penn State University, was the overnight leader after firing a 6-under-par 65 to tie a tournament record.

Several local players, including Russell Giglio (Sprain Lake), Max Buckley (Westchester Hills), Brian Bartow (Wykagyl) and Michael Quagliano (GlenArbor) made the cut and are in the hunt, though Foley will be tough to catch.

Golfers will play 36 holes today.

Here’s fellow Journal News team member Mike Dougherty’s story on day one that ran in today’s paper.

A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
