BROOKLINE, Mass. – Rising Duke men's golf senior Steven DiLisio was crowned the champion in the 111th playing of the Massachusetts Amateur Championship, which wrapped up Friday with a 36-hole match at The Country Club in suburban Boston.
The native of Swampscott, Mass., DiLisio survived the 36-hole stroke play portion of the championship earlier in the week, then advanced through four rounds of match play to reach Friday's championship where he dispatched Hopkinton’s Jimmy Hervol, who played collegiality for Connecticut.
DiLisio tallied eight birdies in his 34 played holes Friday, opening as much as a 5-up lead before Hervol rallied.
