Fleetwood, Pa. (July 8, 2025) — PGA of America Golf Professional Andrew Cornish of Green Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill, Pa., claimed victory in the 2025 GALV Lehigh Valley / Reading Open by one stroke over Braden Shattuck of Rolling Green Golf Club, after today’s second round was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms.
Cornish’s impressive record breaking round of nine-under-par, 63 from yesterday at Berkleigh Golf Club will stand.
“Today really started out hot, holing out from 100 yards and then making two birdies. I wish we could have played more golf today, but it was still a good day,” said Cornish. He went on to thank the staff at Moselem Springs and Berkleigh Golf Club for making this event possible, as well as Green Valley, Titleist and his parents for all of the support.
LuLu Country Club’s Trevor Bensel finished in third place at 7-under-par, followed by Laurel Creek Country Club’s Dave Quinn at 6-under-par, and Merion Golf Club’s Joanna Coe at 5-under.
