Cheer: Rachel Rohanna continued an exceptional stretch of golf on the Symetra Tour this past weekend. The Waynesburg Central graduate finished second in the Twin Bridges Championship in Albany, N.Y., on Sunday. It marked the third consecutive tournament that Rohanna has finished in the top three. She placed third in the French Lick Resort in Indiana two weeks ago and wound up second last week in the Danielle Downey Credit Union Classic at Brook Lea Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., the following week. The hot streak has lifted Rohanna into sixth place on the Symetra Tour money list. If Rohanna can remain in the top 10 through the end of the season she will earn an LPGA Card for the 2022 season. She also played on the LPGA Tour in 2016. Rohanna also continues to give back to her hometown area. She returned to Greene County on Tuesday to host a free junior clinic at Rohannaâs Gold Course.

This time there were people to cheer him.
The American closed with a bogey-free 4-under 66 and won the British Open in his debut Sunday, becoming the first player to win two majors on the first attempt.
His victory 11 months ago in his PGA Championship debut came in the first major with no spectators amid the pandemic. It was a very different scenario for Morikawa as he made one of the greatest walks in golf down the 18th fairway at Royal St. George’s, first to applause and then to a standing ovation.
