Chris Scialo shot rounds of 68 and 70 to finish with a 6-under-par total of 138 at Arcola Country Club in Paramus, N.J., and capture the 2008 Arcola Cup.
Scialo, who will be a junior at Towson University this fall, got a last minute invite to this event which features a field of some of the top amateurs in the country. White Plains resident Michael Quagliano, who plays at Duke and competed in the U.S. Open earlier this summer, shot rounds of 74 and 67 to finish third.
Ironically, this is the same course that younger brother Stephen Scialo (a recent Clarkstown North graduate headed for Delaware) shot a career-best 65 on to tie a course record two weeks ago at a qualifier for the Met Amateur (Chris shot a 72 that day to also qualify for the event). I can just hear Stephen taunting Chris with “You couldn’t even get to 7-under in two rounds!”
The Scialos may play out of Dellwood, but Arcola has clearly become a second home course. With all of the brothers’ success, we’ll see if the people there even want to invite either of them back next year!
