Recovering
from an opening round 74, Gibsonia’s Mike VanSickle, then fired
69-68—for a two-under par total of 211 at Bethlehem’s Saucon
Valley CC’s Old Course. VanSickle edged Pittsburgh’s Nathan
Smith, who recorded 212 on 71-71-70. Smith, who has won this
year’s West Penn Amateur and Open, has two straight runner-up
finishes, losing last year to Pittsburgh’s Adam Hofmann at
Longue Vue in Verona on the final hole. VanSickle won the 2007
Pennsylvania Open, and thus joins a select group of golfers who
have won both titles.
Other area
golfers in the top ten are Robert Rohanna, Waynesburg, t-4; Adam
Hofmann, Pittsburgh, t-6; plus Dan Obremski, Hannastown and
Frank Fairman, Punxsutawney, t-10.
