Robert Munley, a Glen Oak Country Club member from Clarks Summit, shot a nine-hole score of 47 June 24 at Frosty Valley Resort in Danville to win the Division II boys title in the AGA/GAP Lawler Junior Tour event.

The first events of the season were conducted in Division II.

Lorenzo Domiano from the Country Club of Scranton tied for third place with other Abington golfers in boys in each of the first two events. He matched Munley with a 45 at Honesdale Golf Club June 17, then tied Luke Morgan, another Glen Oak member, with 46s two days later at Buck Hill Falls.

Ben Boyanoski from the Country Club of Scranton shot a 54 to finish fifth at Buck Hill Falls.

Chloe Lynch from the Country Club of Scranton shot 61 to place second out of three girls at Honesdale.

The Division I season opener was attempted at Scranton Municipal Golf Club June 20. Play was suspended because of inclement weather and the tournament was canceled.

James Flickinger Jr. and Daniel Flickinger from Country Club of Scranton were tied with Lucas Flederbach were each at 1-over to share the lead in the 41-player field when the event was halted. James Flickinger Jr. had played 14 holes while the other two had played 13 holes.

The first Division I event to be completed was at Frosty Valley where both divisions played June 24.

Will Brown was Waverly was part of a six-way tie for the second-best score in Division 2 boys with an 83.
