Last month, several of the top young golfers in the state took to the links at the 107th West Virginia Amateur on the Old White course at The Greenbrier Resort, and Fairmont was well-represented at the event.<\/p>\n
Front-and-center to represent The Friendly City was Caleb Young, a Fairmont Senior alumni who just wrapped up his sophomore season for the Fairmont State Falcons. Competing in his first-ever West Virginia Amateur, Young turned in a Top 10 finish at the event, coming in seventh overall at three-over-par and tied for the top overall final round with a two-under-par finish. With the finish, Young qualified for the 93rd West Virginia Open Championship, set to take place July 29-31 at Glade Springs in Daniels, West Virginia.<\/p>\n
