Thorbjornsen will begin his freshman year Wellesley High School in the fall
Thorbjornsen, who will be entering his freshman year at Wellesley High School, needed only 26 putts on the perfectly manicured seaside links. He played the 6th through 9th holes in four-under.
In the Eddie Lowery (Senior) Division, Don Reycroft of LeBaron Hills Country Club, the 2015 MGA Senior Champ, looked to add another title with a two-under par 69 to lead by two. “I made every putt I had to make,” he summarized. Joe Walker, of Dennis Pines Golf Course, birdied the last two holes to post even-par 71. Walker was runner-up in 2013. Three were tied for third at 72. In that group are two-time defending champ Kevin Carey, of Dennis Pines Golf Course, who is looking to become the first to win the Ouimet senior three times, 2006 Ouimet Senior champ Doug Crawford of The International, and Dave Houghton of Captains Golf Course.
