Topher Reed of Fairview Park shot 66 in the final round of the 2020 OGA Ohio Junior Championship, then made birdie on the first playoff hole against Wooster’s Ben Cors to win the title.
The pair finish the 36-holes tied at 4-under par 136.
Nicholas Piesen of Strongsville finished at 2-under par 138 total that included a first round 65, and finished in third place overall and first among the Age 15U set.
Reed is the second Northeast Ohio player to win an OGA state championship in 2020, as Tom Laubacher of Aurora won the Ohio Senior Am two weeks ago.
And similar to that Senior event, the top-5 players in the Ohio Junior Championship are all from Northeast Ohio.
So the obvious question: can a local player win the Ohio Amateur at Columbus Country Club July 14-17 to grab an NEOH trifecta?
