Valparaiso University men’s golf standout Anthony Delisanti (Sanborn, N.Y. / Niagara Wheatfield) added yet another impressive line to his ever-growing resume this weekend, winning the Northeast Amateur at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford, R.I. on Saturday.
Delisanti made one of his patented late runs to win the tournament, which is ranked No. 4 in the world for amateur golf tournaments and is part of the Elite Series. His win gives him further consideration for the Walker Cup and U.S. Amateur Team competitions.
The rising senior won the 62nd edition of the historic tournament by defeating Bryan Lee with a birdie on the fifth playoff hole. He posted a 72-hole score of 265 (-11) including a glowing 62 (-7) in the final round. His Round-4 score was one shot off the course record, set by Luke Guthrie in 2011. The tournament was played in unfavorable weather conditions as play was suspended twice on Friday and Saturday. Delisanti posted a round-by-round line of 64-68-71-62, rallying in the final round thanks in part to birdies on five of his first seven holes.
Delisanti’s next stop is at the North & South Amateur in Pinehurst, N.C. this week.
