Hill School’s Drew Steinmetz takes first at PGA Junior Tournament at North Hills

Drew Steinmetz, a junior at The Hill School, took first place overall at Monday’s Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour at North Hills Country Club in Glenside, PA.

Steinmetz fired a two-under 69 to better the field of 12 players by eight strokes. He finished the round with two bogeys but mixed in four birdies, including a run of two straight on Nos. 15 and 16.

Classmate Jack Murray finished tied for second place with Ambler’s Jack Marvin at six-over 77. Murray had two birdies, five bogeys and a triple bogey on No. 16.

It’s a promising sign for the Hill School’s golf program, which will begin its season next week. Entering the season as the reigning Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association (PAISAA) champs, the Blues were hoping to see some players step up and make major contributions as a means to earning their role.

Monday’s result should play a huge factor.
