Jaxon Jolliff tied with Ridgemont’s Will Browning for third place in the 16-18 division.

They both carded scores of 75.

North Union’s Ethan Monroe was one stroke behind Jolliff and Browning with a 76.

Parker Steffani of Delaware Hayes won the age bracket with matching nine-hole scores of 35.

His overall score of 70 included 13 pars and a trio of birdies.

After five tournaments to date this summer, Jolliff stands in fourth place in the division.

Alex Jolliff of North Union finished with a score of 82 while competing in the 13-15 age bracket at Blues Creek.

Clay Rogers of Wynford shot a 76 to win the division, while Toby Holman of Upper Sandusky was the runner-up with a 77.
