The St. Mary senior took just four holes to reach 4-under-par at the Silos Country Club on Friday and cruised through the rest of his round to an All A Classic First Region title with a 5-under 67. That gave Thompson a six-shot victory in the small- school tournament, and clinched his team a berth in the Sept. 10 All A Classic championship being played right back at Silos County Club.
