The Lima Junior Golf Association's summer tour rolled into Mercer County for the annual stop at Celina Lynx Golf Club with the Hot Head Burritos Open.

St. Marys senior-to-be Hayden Roby had a strong day on the course, shooting a 4-under 68 to win the 16-18 year-old division and pick up 10 points towards the Golfer of the Year winner based on points earned during the summer.

Roby started on the front nine and made the turn shooting a 1-under 35. The back nine was stellar, hitting three birdies and not recording a bogey. A birdie on 18 gave him a 3-under 33 coming in to close out the day.

Kenton's Oliver Sneary was the only other golfer to break par in shooting a 2-under 70 for second. Minster's Max Voisard, who won last Tuesday at Colonial, tied Ottawa-Glandorf's Tyler Heckman for third with matching even-par 72s.

St. Marys' Gaige Newbauer tied for eighth with Botkins' Will Dietz with matching 78s. St. Henry's Michael Rindler was 12th with an 80.

Minster's Hayden Linn shot an 85 with St. Henry's Jonah Dilbone and St. Marys' Chace Luedeke each shooting an 87. St. Henry's Cooper LaGuire shot an 88. St. Marys' Caleb Rohrbach and Kyle Ibrahim shot 90 and 91, respectively.
