GUILDERLAND The sensational summer of Altamont native Kennedy Swedick took another special step Friday in the opening round of the Symetra Tour’s Twin Bridges Championship Friday at Pinehaven Country Club.
Swedick, the 14-year-old Albany Academy student who plays well beyond her years, bounced back from a pair of double bogeys on the front nine to shoot even-par on the back nine, including three birdies on the last four holes, for a solid 5-over-par 76.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old Maddie McCrary, an Oklahoma State graduate who has 15 starts on the LPGA Tour as well as two top-10s and $37,349 in career earnings on the Symetra Tour, took the opening-round lead with a 5-under-par 66 that included six birdies and just one bogey. Canadian Maude-Aimee LeBlanc, who has 23 career top-10s, was second with a 67 that included five birdies, while Binny Lee was third

A youthful Siena College men’s golf team appears to be in top form just in time for this weekend’s Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship at Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Siena winds up tournament play Sunday.
The Saints, who last captured the MAAC title back in 2016, hadn’t won a regular-season tournament title since 2007-08, but they pulled off a mild upset by winning the Hartford/Gillette Ridge Invitational at the Gillette Ridge Golf Club last week in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Siena shot a 20-over-par 308 in the 18-hole event to edge MAAC rival Fairfield by 10 strokes and Trinity College by 11.
