The International Junior Golf Tour recently made a stop in Long Island with a tournament at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow.
Several local players participated and did well, led by Brewster junior Mike Miller, who finished in second place in the boys 16-19 division. Miller fired rounds of 69 and 70 to finish at 5-under-par and three shots behind Jim Liu of Smithtown. Miller finished three shots clear of Dillon Corbo (Montville, N.J.) in third place.
Scarsdale’s Robert Gelber finished in a tie for fourth at 1-under with scores of 71 and 72.
White Plains’ Aaron Klimchuk, who plays at Rye Country Day, finished 12th.
In the 13-15 division, Max Christiana, a sophomore at Fox Lane, came in 3rd with rounds of 75-70. That final round included a 3-under 33 on the back nine. John Morrissey (White Plains) came in 7th and Mike DiTursi (Harrison) came in 9th.
Wow Miller looks very dominant, perhaps one of the best players to ever play in section 1. Also great promise can be found in Ditursi, Christiana, and Morrissey. I think all three of them make it to the second round of sectionals as underclassmen and were the only freshman and younger to make it to sectionals. By the time Christiana is a senior ( i think he is the oldest because i’ve watched all three play), dont be suprised to see these 3 as the top ti-er players in section 1
