No. 13 Keystone’s Amber Hess finishes second at the PIAA Girls’ Golf Championships
Keystone’s Amber Hess cemented her place in District 9 history when she took second at the PIAA Class AA girls’ golf championships held in late October in York, Pa.
Hess shot a two-round total of 163, 10 shots off the lead of Greensburg Central Catholic’s Olivia Zambruno, who carded a 153. Hess was one shot ahead of third-place finisher Marissa Kirkwood of Neshannock.
Just to reach the PIAA Championships, Hess had to overcome a hole that would have done most golfers in during the Regional Tournament when she shot a 12 on the Par 5 fourth hole at Tom’s Run Golf Course in Blairsville but still managed to shoot an 86 to finish fourth and qualify for the championship.
Hess won the District 9 title by shooting a 79 Pine Acres Country Club in Bradford.
