In case you missed it …

August

Jake Thomases was at Huntington Country Club yesterday for the Women’s Met Open Championship while I was running around in search of items to check off our back-to-school list.

Nannette Hill finished second, while 14-year-old Nicole Morales finished seventh.

Keep an eye on both of them. Hill, who just graduated from Wake Forest and plays out of Pelham, is embarking on a professional career. Morales, who plays out of Centennial, appears to be the latest in a line that includes the likes of Meaghan Francella, Hill and Megan Grehan.

Does it seem like Westchester is producing more top female players than male players?

Here is Jake’s story.

None of the four locals made it to match play at the U.S. Amateur. Southern Hills took a toll on Max Buckley (+16), Chris Scialo (+18), Max Cahn (+20) and George Zahringer (+20) over two rounds of stroke play. Cameron Wilson, the 16-year-old Connecticut resident who won the Met Am, tied for 14th and is moving on.

I’m heading for the Met Open and will update the blog later today from there. Sam Bernstein, a 17-year-old from Century, fired a 4-under 67 yesterday at Ridgewood Country Club to grab the first-round lead. Stay tuned. You can follow along via the MGA website.
