Swampscott’s Christian Emmerich (Kernwood Country Club) captured the 51st North Shore Amateur championship August 12-13 at Far Corner Golf Club in Boxford.
The former Holy Cross and St. Mary’s High standout was the only player in the field to finish under par in the 36-hole tournament, opening with a sparkling 4-under 68 on day one and following that up with a 75 on day two. Emmerich’s opening round featured flawless golf: four birdies, no bogeys, and a string of clutch putts down the stretch.
Conditions proved trickier on day two, but Emmerich’s consistency was enough to hold off defending champion Shuvam Bhaumik of Thorny Lea Golf Club, who posted scores of 70 and 74 to finish one stroke back at even par.
Head PGA Professional Mark Magnion praised Emmerich’s winning effort.
“Anybody that shoots under par here is really striking it well and putting it well. We have a few tough stretches of holes, four, five, six, and seven in particular is a tough stretch. To go under par is a feat in itself. He played really well,” Magnion said. “His ball striking was dialed in and he played really well to finish under par.”
