Doylestown, Pa. (July 29, 2022) — Philadelphia PGA Member Braden Shattuck of Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa., turned in a 5-under-par 67 at Doylestown Country Club to win the 2022 Doylestown Open  by one stroke over Billy Stewart of Union League Liberty Hill in Lafayette Hill, Pa.

Braden made six birdies and only one bogey en route to his second victory of the season (he also won the 2022 Burlington Classic last month). Shattuck clinched his win by making a 10-foot birdie putt on his final hole, the 510-yard 18th hole, a par-5.

After Doylestown C.C. PGA Head Professional Travis Deibert presented the trophy and winner’s check, Shattuck thanked Titleist, Makefield Putters and Michael Little, PGA, Doylestown C.C., its membership, and Travis Deibert, Rolling Green G.C.

Five other PGA Members, Eric Kennedy, Overbrook G.C.; Trevor Bensel, Sandy Run G.C.; Nick Iacono, Chester Valley G.C.; Joanna Coe, Merion G.C.; and Anthony Bonargo, Doylestown C.C.; rounded out the top five at 3-under-par, two strokes behind Shattuck.

Trevor Bensel’s 3-under-par round was good enough for a one-stroke win in the Philadelphia Assistants’ Organization (PAO) event.
