2007 PENNSYLVANIA-OHIO BI-STATE CHALLENGE CUP

The 6th annual Whaling/Sparrow Bi-State challenge between Pennsylvania and Ohio was held at Greenville Country Club on August 7th and 8th. Ken Sparrow, husband of one of the original developers of the tournament, was a welcome guest at the tournament from his home in South Carolina.

The Bi-State Junior Golf Challenge trophy, the Whaling-Sparrow Cup, was named in honor of an individual from each state who epitomized encouragement and support for young men and women who love golf as they did. Their love of golf and support of the public golf system has made this type of event possible.

After two losing tournaments in the last two years, the Pennsylvania teams came away with a decisive 22 ½ -9 ½ victory. This now leaves the Bi-State record for the 5 years at 2 wins for PA, 2 wins for OH, with one tie. The tournament has continued to showcase some of the best junior golfers in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. This year the tournament had several college golf coaches in attendance scouting for possible members of their teams.

The results for the two days are as follows:

	PA	OH
Day One:
AM-BEST BALL	3 ½	4 ½
PM-ALTERNATE BALL	6	2

Day Two:
