PMHS senior Eric Soderberg advanced Wednesday to the New York State golf champions after tying for fifth in the Section 1 tournament.

Soderberg has enjoyed a successful season and showed consistent play at Waccabuc Country Club this week. He put up a day one score of 80 and followed it up with a 77 on day two. The total score of 157 was enough to push team captain Soderberg to states at Mark Twain Golf Course in Elmira on June 5 and 6.

Eighth grader Eamon Brennan also competed at the sectional tournament. He qualified for day two, but couldn’t make the cut for states in his first postseason appearance.
