Ryan Downes, Patrick Kilcoyne to meet in Massachusetts Amateur final
Ryan Downes and Patrick Kilcoyne will meet Friday with the 117th Massachusetts Amateur Championship on the line.
The pair advanced with quarterfinal and semifinal match play victories Thursday at GreatHorse in Hampden.
Downes, a GreatHorse member and Longmeadow resident, is a standout player at Vanderbilt. He became the youngest winner in event history when he captured the state title two years ago at Essex Country Club at age 17.
He will face Kilcoyne, a member at Woodland Golf Club. The Belmont native plays at Gettysburg College.
The 36-hole championship match will begin at 7:30 a.m.
Downes nipped Joseph Lenane of George Wright Golf Club in a terrific semifinal which went 19 holes. Kilcoyne advanced by besting Aidan Emmerich of Kernwood CC, 2 and 1.
To advance to the final, both players had to survive the cut after 36 holes of stroke play and then defeat four opponents in match play.
