MIDDLEBURY — In a busy recent stretch for Ralph Myhre Golf Course and its members, the highlight was member Lucas Politano’s participation in the New England Junior PGA Championship held at Shaker Hills Country Club in Harvard, Mass., on July 1 and 2.

Course officials said he was on fire, dominating the leaderboards of some of the biggest junior golf events in the Northeast. During the first round in Harvard, Politano dazzled everyone with an impressive performance, scoring seven birdies. He maintained his stellar play throughout the tournament, ultimately winning the prestigious two-day event by three strokes. His 141 was 3 under par.

This victory qualifies him for the National Junior PGA Championship at Congressional in Maryland at the end of July.
