  Final Results
Kimberton, PA - Jason Loehrs captured the 2011 PPGA Mid-Amateur Championship at Kimberton GC with 4-under par round of 66.  For Loehrs, it was his first time back in the winner's circle since taking the Philadelphia Open Amateur Championship in 2004.  With the win Loehrs also clinched a berth on the PPGA team which will take on a team from the Baltimore Municipal Golf Association in the inaugural "Atlantic Publinks Challenge" to be played Sunday, October 2nd at Pine Ridge GC in Lutherville, MD.
     After pars on the first five holes, Loehrs bogeyed the 176 yard, par-3 sixth.  That would be the last blemish on Loehrs's card.  The putter got hot and Loehrs posted birdies on five of the last eleven holes to finish at 4-under par and capture the championship by two strokes.
     Scott McNeil started the day attempting to accomplish something that has never been done in the history of the PPGA.  After winning the first two individual events of the season, McNeil needed to win the Mid-Am to become the first player to win all individual championships in a season.  McNeil got off fast and posted eight birdies in his round.  Unfortunately, McNeil added two bogies and two double bogies for a round of 2-under par 68.  For three hours, McNeil's round stayed atop the leaderboard and it appeared as though his round would be good enough until Loehrs finished his round.
     The other sub-par round of the tournament was by Dave Fardon.  Fardon, the caddiemaster at Saucon Valley CC, found himself at 3-over par for his round after fourteen holes.  But birdies on his final four holes got the round under par and was good enough for a solo-third finish.
     2010 PPGA Player of the Year, Mike Brown posted a round of even-par to tie Walt Humphries for fourth place in the championship.
     Defending Champion Shawn Lavin got off to a slow start in his title defense and never recovered, finishing tied for 51st.
     Tony Carroll captured the Net Division and John Valentino, Sr., finished runner-up.  Nate Oxman placed third and Jay Davidson and WD Horan rounded out the top five.
