Connor Burgess is Virginia Tech's leading scorer. On Sunday, he got an early amateur win to start the summer
Burgess, the leading scorer at Virginia Tech, had rounds of 66-65-68 for a 14 under total that left him six shots ahead of runner-up Justin Young of Roanoke, Va. Burgess had a four-shot lead entering the day, but with four birdies in his first 16 holes, he easily extended that. Remarkably, he had only one bogey in each round.
As for runner-up Young, the 2017 Virginia Mid-Amateur winner, opening rounds of 68-67 left him within striking distance of Burgess but a final-round 70 didn’t include enough firepower for Young to catch him.
Isaac Simmons and Scott Shingler tied for third at 5 under. Jimmy Delp of Alexandria, Va., was solo fifth at 3 under.
Boonsboro Golf Club will also host the inaugural Donna Andrews Invitational next month.
