KANE, Pa. — The Wednesday Travel League held its third major of the season, the “U.S. Open,” last Monday at Kane Country Club.

Mike Baron, visiting from Mesa, Arizona, was the overall winner, posting a new league course record of 72, breaking the old record of 73, held by Ed Tofil.

Josh Hilliker finished second with 74 and Tofil came in third with 78. Baron now has three major victories and 13 career tour victories. Hilliker led the front nine with a 1-under-par 34 and Baron led the back nine with 37. Pete Pinkoski was the B Flight champion. The winner of the Bruce “Java” Chrabasz Commissioner’s Award was Bob Kujawa.
