Rocky River’s Julian Dugan and Westlake’s Cara Heisterkamp rallied over the final round on Tuesday to win the Junior PGA Section Championships at Alliance Country Club. While Dugan coasted to a 5-stroke victory, Heisterkamp needed a playoff to complete her comeback.
Dugan, a recent graduate of St. Ignatius and headed to Purdue University-Ft. Wayne, shot a final round one-under 69 for a 36-hole total of one-over 141 for a 5-shot victory over Akron’s Ryan Dinan (71-75=146) and North Benton’s James Morgan (72-74=146), who tied for second.
Dinan, who will attend Cleveland State in the fall, made a birdie on the second playoff hole to earn the runner-up spot and a trip to Maryland at the end of July. The top two boys and girls qualify for the national PGA Junior Championship, which will be played at Congressional Country Club. The next five finishers earned spots as alternates.
After an opening 72, Dugan trailed first-round leader Mick Ambrose by three shots but made four birdies and six pars over his last 12 holes while others were unable to deal with the swirling winds that swept over Alliance’s challenging greens.
Things were a little more tense for Heisterkamp, a recent Magnificat graduate headed to Indiana University. She began the day five shots behind first-round leader Serena Wu but shot a final-round 74 to pull into a tie with Wu, forcing a playoff with both at 148. Heisterkamp made par to Wu’s bogey on the first playoff hole, the 186-yard 10th.
Wu, who began the day with a 4-shot lead over North Canton’s Ava Kemp, stumbled to 9-over 79 to fall into the playoff.
