Bethlehem, NH – The fifth of seven qualifiers for the 123rd New Hampshire Amateur Championship presented by Davis & Towle Insurance was contested Monday at The Maplewood Golf Club, where 37 players competed for nine available spots into the state’s premier amateur championship, which begins in two weeks at Cochecho Country Club.
Mitch Dubreuil of USGA/NHGA GC captured medalist honors with a two-under-par 70, producing one of the most colorful scorecards of the qualifying season. Dubreuil opened his round with an eagle on the par-5 1st hole and added another on Maplewood’s signature par-6 16th hole. He also collected four birdies throughout the day. Despite four bogeys and a double bogey, Dubreuil played eight holes under par, giving him enough firepower to finish as one of two players in red figures.
Sam Maurice of Derryfield Country Club secured the second qualifying spot with a one-under-par 71. Maurice carded four birdies against three bogeys and finished his round in style, making birdie on three consecutive holes, 15, 16 and 17, to move under par and comfortably into the championship field.
Three players shared third place at even-par 72. Austin Cassady of The Maplewood Country Club, Ryan Waring of Canterbury Woods Country Club, and Cooper Ladd of USGA/NHGA GC each advanced with steady rounds to earn their places at Cochecho Country Club.
Keith Stone of Pease Golf Course claimed the sixth qualifying position at two-over-par 74. The final three spots were secured by Scott Welsh of USGA/NHGA GC, Steve Barry of Nashua Country Club, and Trae Whitney of The Maplewood Country Club, all of whom posted rounds of three-over-par 75.
It was a competitive field with the cut line sitting low at 3-over-par, 75 and no need for a playoff for the final qualifying spot as exactly nine players finished at 75 or better.
With five of seven qualifiers now complete, only two opportunities remain for players hoping to join the field for the 123rd New Hampshire Amateur Championship presented by Davis & Towle Insurance, scheduled to begin in two weeks at Cochecho Country Club in Dover.
