What a day yesterday for West Shamokin’s Alex Talmadge, the District 6 champion who fired a four under par 68 at the Penn State Blue Course and surged from twelfth to a fifth place finish in the individual PIAA 2A championship.
Nick Werner of Wyoming Seminar won the championship with a two-round total of six under par. There was a three-way tie for second at four under, then Talmadge, in fifth at two under. He bogeyed the first and third holes but then drew even with birdies on 4 and 5. He dropped a shot at 11, but picked it back up with birdies on 12, 13, and 16, and finished in spectacular fashion with an eagle 3 on 18, his second eagle in two days.
River Valley’s Jake Pynos finished in a five-way tie for 18th at six over par. River Valley’s Jeremy Reed and West Shamokin’s Gunnar Shoop finished in a tie for 64th at 29 over and West Shamokin’s Logan Geist was in 68th at 31 over.
West Shamokin is back on the Blue Course today for the team championship. Talmadge will lead off for them with a 9 AM tee time.
