In the Junior Boys Division, Austin Brancaccio (Essex) edged out the competition by a single shot, firing an even par 72. Brancaccio was a model of consistency, with just two bogeys and two birdies to go along with 14 pars. Rylan Marontate (Kingsville) and Jax Sisson (Pointe West) finished in a tie for second with 73s.

The Collegiate Men’s division was also a tight race, with Alex Saroli (Wayne State/Essex) earning a one-shot victory over Robert McVinnie (Western/Beach Grove) and Alek Mauro (Detroit Mercy/Essex). Saroli’s card included five birdies on route to an even par 72.

The tour was at Maple City Country Club on Monday, July 26 for the sixth event of the season. The course was in phenomenal shape and winds were calm, but scorching temperatures made for a challenging day.

It was a close race in the Junior Girls Division, with Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) and Emily Young (Kingsville) duking it out for the victory. Young bested Charlebois by a shot on the front nine, but Charlebois had a strong back nine, and her 78 total eclipsed Young by a single stroke. The win was Charlebois’ fourth of the season.

In the Junior Boys Division, Pointe West’s Jax Sisson fired an even par 72 to earn the win. Sitting at four over par on the day through 13 holes, Sisson finished birdie, par, birdie, par, eagle to get back to even on the day, and edge out Max Gavric (Essex) by one shot.

In the Collegiate Division, Mathew Hawryluk (Maple City/Wayne State) used his homecourse knowledge to earn the victory with an impressive round of four-under-par 68.
