Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

Home cooking

Stephen Scialo doesn’t just play well in qualifiers, he dominates them. Scialo, a recent Clarkstown North graduate, won another qualifier, this time for the Met Open, this past Thursday at Dellwood Country Club.

Yes, Dellwood is his home course, but shooting a 2-under-par 68 (really 3-under, but one of the par 5s was played as a par 4) and defeating a field of 129 of the top amateurs and pros in the area and beyond is impressive no matter how you slice it.

Norwalk’s Cameron Wilson, who will be a junior at St. Luke’s this year, finished second place. The rising star recently made it to the match-play portion of the U.S. Junior Championship at Shoal Creek (Ala.) Golf Club.

The score capped another impressive week for Scialo, who on Monday won the Journal News Tournament of Champions in a playoff over Sleepy Hollow’s John Ervasti. I’ll see the University of Delaware-bound golfer at the Carter Cup (the MGA’s Junior stroke-play championship) at famed Baltusrol next Wednesday.
