Let’s dive into the action!

Carson Kittsley: A Junior with a Bright Future

Carson Kittsley, a talented junior and a proud Penn State recruit, showed all of his skills on the golf course by seizing the boys’ championship title. Kittsley dazzled spectators with an outstanding round of 6-under par 66, which helped him capture the boys’ championship with an impressive overall score of 8-under par.

His victory solidifies his position not only as a skilled golfer but also as one of the promising stars of the game!

Mya Morgan: Reigning Queen of the Greens

Now, let’s turn our eyes to Mya Morgan, who is proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the world of girls’ golf. The Central Michigan recruit claimed her second consecutive title at the PIAA 3A girls’ championship, ending the tournament with an overall score of 4-under par. She displayed remarkable consistency throughout her rounds, even finishing with an even par score of 72 for her final outing on Tuesday.

What’s even more jaw-dropping? Morgan was the only player in the 3A girls’ field to complete the tournament below par! This makes her the first WPIAL golfer to secure consecutive 3A titles since the division split in 2012. She has firmly established herself as an exceptional talent to watch moving forward.
