16 year old Austin Romeo of the Kahkwa Club is the champion of the 89th EDGA Amateur Championship. Romeo followed up a brilliant round of 68 on Saturday with an equally as brilliant 68 on Sunday for a 3 round total of 207.

Romeo’s three round total of 9 under par bettered the 54 hole record by 5 shots. The previous record was established by Tom Amendola in 2002 at Lake View. Additionally, both Tim Dunlavey (1989) and Brett Kieffer (1980) shot 4 under when the event was conducted at 3 different courses.

Although the final margin was 4 strokes the contest was closer than that. Runner up Drew Deimel trailed by just one shot with three holes to play. A birdie on 16 by Romeo and two closing bogies for Deimel accounted for the final margin. Deimel closed with an even par 72 and a three round total of 5-under 211. Mike Wolfe fashioned a final round 70 and finished 3rd at 213.

Three players tied for fourth, Cameron Zbrzeznj (77-218), Rick Carlotti (71-218) and Bob Paris (71-218). Ted Grassi III was alone in 7th with 71-219 and Dave Spitzer was solo 8th with 73-220. Troy Hassenplug (75-222) and Cory Smith (73-222) rounded out the top 10.
