Playing steady golf throughout, then rallying with a final
round 66, Pittsburgh's Nathan Smith finished the prestigious
Sunnehanna Amateur at 272, eight under par. It's annually
played at Sunnehanna CC, Johnstown. His 68-68-70-66 tied him
with Lee Bedford, Cary, NC, and Zac Blair, Ogden, UT. In the
aggregate playoff, Smith's one under produced his first
Sunnehanna Amateur title, a championship he has pursued for
sixteen years.
He is the first winner from this area in the Sunnehanna's
nearly sixty year history. Outstanding golfers such as Bob
Reilly, John Birmingham, Jim Simons, Jim Masserio, Frank
Fuhrer, III, and Sean Knapp have played well but none has
won.

Congratulations to Nathan Smith.
