CARTER CUP Metropolitan Golf Association Junior Stroke Play Championship The 11th CARTER CUP Metropolitan Golf Association Junior Stroke Play Championship BALTUSROL GOLF CLUB Springfield, N.J. July 31, 2013 Wealth of Talent to be Displayed at 11th Carter Cup One of the most anticipated junior events of the summer returns to the historic Baltus- trol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J., on Wednesday, July 31, where the top Met Area players aged 18 and under will compete in the 11th Carter Cup. Year in and year out the field is stacked with young local talent and this year is no exception. The Carter Cup is played in memory of Michael P. Carter, an accomplished junior golfer who passed away in a car accident in 2012 champion Jared Mactas 2002 at just 20-years-old. Michael was an accomplished junior golfer and junior club champion at both Baltusrol and Winged Foot Golf Club. Michael played for the Delbarton School golf team in Morristown, N.J., before joining the men’s team at Penn State Uni- versity. The field will face the challenging Upper and Lower courses as they compete in this prestigious invitational. They’ll test their skills on the same courses where some of the biggest names in golf have also competed, as Baltustrol has been the host of 10 major championships, including seven U.S. Opens, as well as the PGA Championship twice (2016 host). Returning to the spot where he claimed victory a year ago is Jared Mac- tas of Woodcliff Lake, N.J. The 18-year-old won in 2012 and has continued to play well, making the cut at this year’s Ike Championship and tying for 9th at the Arcola Cup. Challenging him are several terrific players, including Met Junior run- ner-up Jeremy Wall from Brielle, N.J. Wall recently returned from the U.S. Junior, where he qualified for match play. Jeremy’s brother Ethan will also play in his third consecutive Carter Cup. THE CARTER CUP Greenwich, Conn. native Theodore Humphrey, who won the 2011 MGA/MetLife Boys Championship, is also in the field. Humphrey finished tied for second last year, was a member of the MGA’s victorious 2012 Williamson Cup team, and recently advanced to match play at the 2013 U.S. Junior Champi- onship. 2010 MGA/MetLife Boys champion Matt Lowe of Farmingdale, N.Y., is fresh off his appearance at the U.S. Junior match play too, as is Yale-bound Will Bernstein of New York, N.Y. Jeremy Wall Paul Pastore of Greenwich, Conn. and Ethan DeForest of Cottekill, N.Y. will look to match the success of their older brothers who have won this event (David Pastore in 2010 and Web.com Tour pro Chris De- Forest in 2006). DeForest and Pastore both reached the round of 16 at the Met Junior this year and both tied for second at last year’s Carter Cup. Other notables in the field include recent NJSGA Junior winner and Duke commit Max Greyserman of Short Hills, N.J.; and 2012 MGA/MetLife Boys winner Willis Huynh of Syosset, N.Y. The Carter Cup is open to all male golfers not yet 19 years of age and who have not started college by July 31, 2013. Invitations are based on criteria set by the MGA Foundation Board of Directors, MGA Exec- utive Committee and Baltusrol Golf Club.

Held at Winged Foot Golf Club. **Won in playoff. *** Cup shortened to 18 holes due to weather. The Story Of Baltusrol Golf CluB Baltusrol’s founder, Louis Keller, who created the New York Social Register in 1887, bought 477 acres at the foot of Baltusrol Mountain in 1890, and in May of 1895 hired George Hunter to lay out a short nine- hole course there. A meeting was held in Manhattan on October 25, 1895, at which the Baltusrol Golf Club was organized. In 1897, Baltus- rol became one of the charter members of the MGA. Baltusrol takes its name from the 200-foot mountain that forms the club’s northwest boundary. The mountain is named after a wealthy farmer called Bal- tus Roll, who once lived near where the clubhouse is now located. The original Baltusrol club- house was a converted farm- house, and on the night of March 27, 1909, it burned to the ground. Baltusrol’s ma- The original clubhouse jestic new English Manor-style clubhouse, built at a cost of $100,000, was ready the next spring, and continues to provide a comfortable second home for the club’s 850 members. Baltusrol’s original nine-hole course was expanded to 18 holes prior to the 1898 season, then revised in 1905 to form what the club refers to as the “Old Course.” In 1903, the USGA brought the U.S. Open to Bal- tusrol. The championship was captured by Willie Anderson and was the first of seven USGA championships hosted by Baltusrol.

In its first ever NCAA men’s golf match play national championship appearance, Oklahoma won its second national championship in program history with a 3-1-1 victory over defending champion Oregon at Rich Harvest Farms. “I had a good feeling (this) week. My wife and I had talked about this before we went to regionals that we aren’t the best putting team and at regionals, you got to be able to do somethings at the right time to advance through,” Sooners coach Ryan Hybl said. “I told her I was hoping that this group was going to get a chance to shine. If they had an opportunity this week, they were going to do something crazy good. “This has been our best individual year. We had five individual winners, which not a lot of teams can say. The firepower was there.” Oklahoma’s championship was its first since 1989 at Oak Tree Country Club in Edmonds, Oklahoma, a championship co-hosted with rival Oklahoma St.. The Sooners lost in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Blaine Hale put the first point on the board, downing Oregon’s Norman Xiong 4&3 as he sank a birdie putt on the 15th green.
