Since he’s enjoyed so much success on the junior level already, it’s hard to call a playoff win at the Mittlemark Invitational a breakthrough for Mike Miller.
We’ll call it the most significant title in a blossoming career.
Miller posted a 3-under 137, then beat Tommy McDonagh, a 20-year-old from Shorehaven who was the 2006 Met Amateur champion, on the first extra hole. David Pastore was third with a 139 and Michael Quagliano, the defending champion, was fourth at 141.
The most interesting round of the day belonged to Fenway’s own David Weisfeld. He closed with a 69 that included a hole-in-one at the fourth and then a triple-bogey at the par-4 10th.
