Decades-old record broken at NYS boys golf tournament: How Section V golfers scored
While Victor star Brody Burgess earned Section V's lone medal, Section III's Division I commit Jackson Saroney broke a 49-year-old record at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Boys Golf Championships, which concluded Monday at Mill Creek Golf Club in Churchville. Saroney, a Jamesville-DeWitt senior who's committed to Penn State, struck gold in the individual golf tournament after shooting an astounding 10-under-par 132 — six less strokes than the next best score. NYSPHSAA's previous 36-hole record was 134 set by Section IV's Joey Sindelar in 1976 before he joined the PGA Tour. Advertisement Saroney also helped Section III win the team championship with a plus-38. This was Saroney's fourth appearance in the NYSPHSAA golf tournament. Saroney's previous best finish was fourth in 2023, when Burgess was the runner-up after coming back to force a playoff hole. Burgess tied for fourth in 2024 and placed eighth in 2022. "Section III, we haven't won in quite a while. It's been a long, long time. It feel nice to get a team win. This tournament has been circled on my calendar ever since I've been in ninth grade," Saroney said.
