LATROBE — This time around, the competition was a little stiffer for Bailey Donahue. But the result was the same.

Battling through temperatures that reached the mid-90’s, Donahue shot an even-par score of 72, claiming the 15 & Under division of the 65th WPGA Boys Championship Tuesday at Latrobe Elks Golf Club.

“It’s good, especially since it was a long round and really hot,” said Donahue, a 15-year-old from Pittsburgh. I made a lot of two-putts. The greens were fast downhill, but my speed was good all day.”

SEWICKLEY — Chris Shipley was able to relive a childhood memory Monday. And he was able to do it surrounded by family.

Shipley teamed up with his son, Patrick, to win the 13th WPGA Parent & Child Tournament at Diamond Run Golf Club, spending the day in a playing group that also included his father, Calvin, and brother, Matthew, who formed a duo in the long-running WPGA family competition.

“It’s a full circle moment,” said Chris Shipley. “My dad and I won the Net division 30 years ago, in 1995. My brother lives in Michigan but was in for the weekend. So, he could play with my dad, and I could play with my son.

“It was really cool to be able to do that. It was special. Really special.”
