Yardley's Ault Takes 100Th Amateur Yardley’s Ault takes 100th Amateur Championship A bogey set Chris Ault free. The long-hitting 27-year-old turned the final round of the 100th Amateur Championship at 2 under for the day and 2 over for the tournament when, on No. 10, he flared an 8-iron into no man’s land some 60 feet right of the cup. Saucon Valley’s Old Course greens were unrepentant on Wednesday and Ault’s ensuing three putt was an expected result. “I was trying to hit a little draw in there and chickened out and hit it right. It reminded me I needed to be aggressive,” said Ault, a longtime member of Yardley Country Club. “You are only going to two putt that maybe half the time anyway. [After that] I said to myself ‘What are you worried about. You are 3 over par for the tournament. You are not even in it.’” Two hours later, Ault’s internal pep talk resulted in the round of a lifetime. Ault birdied four of his final six holes for a tournament-best final-round 67 and winning 54-hole even-par total. His 213 score was two shots clear of co-runner-ups David Denlinger of Lancaster Country Club and Brandon Matthews of Glenmaura National Golf Club. Overnight leader Greg Jarmas of Overbrook Golf Club finished with a closing 76. He held the lead heading to the tourney’s back nine but watched his flat stick falter. “It feels like a huge burden has been lifted off of me,” said Ault of Yardley, Pa. on winning. “For so many years I knew I could win, and everyone else thought I could, but it just hasn’t happened. So to break through is such a relief. Now, if I get in those situations again, I can play with nothing to lose because you’ve won the Pennsylvania Amateur before.” Ault has been a Pennsylvania Golf Association and Golf Association of Philadelphia fixture the last decade plus. He's been a contender in a number of events but this is his breakthrough victory. Ault’s sterling late-round push started on No. 13 (par 4, 310 yards). He ripped driver onto the putting surface and two-putted from 30 feet for a 3. On the par 5, 615-yard 15th, Ault lifted a wedge from 125 yards to five feet for another birdie. “I wanted to get to even [for the tournament],” said Ault of his mindset. “I felt if I could get it to even I would have a good chance.” Ault’s mojo was temporarily halted on the gargantuan par 4, 500-yard 16th when he missed a 20-footer for par. However, he responded in true championship form on No. 17 (par 4, 422 yards) by lofting a precise 9-iron from 150 yards to 15 feet to a difficult back left hole location. The birdie kept Ault’s even-par target in sight. “I knew I needed to birdie the last two to get to even and I couldn’t get to even without birdieing that hole,” said Ault. The tees were pushed forward on No. 18 (par 4, 305 yards) hoping to entice players to drive the green. Ault bit and ripped 3-wood 15 yards to the right of the putting surface. His short chip was almost perfect and stopped three feet left of the hole. “I went to my caddie [my uncle Andy Muzyka] and told him to tell me a joke. He had nothing,” said Ault of his thoughts before the final putt. “I said ‘Left edge. He said ‘Inside left.’ I said ‘Are you sure it’s not left edge.’ He said ‘Inside left.’ It was funny.” Ault, who graduated from East Carolina University in 2008, is a financial analyst in the health care industry. His top Amateur finish was a tie for fifth in 2009 at Waynesborough Country Club. “I really worked on my game in the winter,” said Ault. “I knew something good was going to happen this summer.” Jarmas, who led the field by two strokes entering the back nine, three putted Nos. 10 and 11 and never recovered. “I was really happy with the way I was playing at the turn. I just made a couple mistakes at the wrong time,” said Jarmas, 21, of Wynnewood, Pa. “You have to hand it to Chris. That’s a really good round.” Jarmas is a senior at Princeton University.

As the name indicates, the Club was formed by a group of young men of English descent who had played the game while students at the University of Pennsylvania. With the wish to continue to play together after their graduation, they formed the Club under the leadership of William Roach Wistar. While playing cricket on any grounds available for the first 30 years of the club’s existence, in 1883, The Club "came home" to Chestnut Hill through the generosity of a benefactor, Henry H. Houston. Houston arranged for them to settle down at The Club's present location on West Willow Grove Avenue in the St. Martin's section of Chestnut Hill. The original nine-hole course was built in 1895 and was quickly replaced by a new eighteen-hole course in 1897. When the Golf Association of Philadelphia was organized in 1897, The Club was one of four founding members alongside Aronimink Golf Club, Merion Cricket Club, and Philadelphia Country Club.

Trenham the Leaders and the Legends 2000 to 2009 Leaders Legends Tom Carpus Dick Smith, Jr Tom Carter Pete Oakley Mike Cole Jim Smith, Jr. Joe Daley Jay Sigel Michael Mack Mike Swisher. Ed Dougherty Ted Tryba Ron Rolfe Jim Masserio Tomas J. “Tom” Carpus Tom Carpus was born in Buffalo, New York in 1961 and grew up in Upper Darby. At the age of ten he ventured out to Cobb’s Creek Golf Club where he fished golf balls out of the creeks and sold them to the profes- sional, Andy Pettineo, Sr. Soon he was caddying and playing golf there. That led to his working for Andy, Sr. and Jr. cleaning the golf carts and shagging balls for the golf lessons. From there he went on to Drexel Univer- sity where he graduated with a business degree and played on the golf team. He lettered four years and won the East Coast Conference individual cham- pionship in his senior year. He was inducted into the Drexel University ath- letic hall of fame in 2007. In 1985 he turned pro and went to work as an assistant to Harry Heagy at the Rolling Green Golf Club. After six years as an assistant at Rolling Green he signed on with the Philadelphia Section PGA as the tournament director. As the supervisor for more than 100 Sec- tion competitions he found himself needing to become an expert on the rules of golf. He began attending rules seminars and found his calling in the game of golf.
