Patrick Rodgers, 2011 Porter Cup Champion Not yet old enough to drink, Patrick Rodgers was the center of attention on the 19th hole.

An unassuming 19-year-old heading into his freshman year at Stanford University, Rodgers sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole Saturday at Niagara Falls Country Club to beat Wesley Bryan for the 53rd Porter Cup championship.

“I’m going to enjoy this one, because it was a lot of fun,” Rodgers said. “One of the best fields in amateur golf, and to be the champion is awesome.”

Tournament News Haley holds lead over several contenders by Jonah Bronstein, Niagara Gazette July 30, 2011 He finally made a bogey. And then another. And it hardly mattered. Paul Haley’s third round at the 53rd Porter Cup wasn’t as flawless as his first two, but it was good enough to keep him on top of a congested leaderboard. The 22-year-old Texan who just completed his career at Georgia Tech shot a 1-under par 69 on Friday at Niagara Falls Country Club to get to 11-under for the tournament and preserve his one-shot lead over soon-to-be Stanford freshman Patrick Rodgers. “There’s a bunch of low scores out here, so going into tomorrow, I’m just going to try to play the best I can, shoot a low round, and see where that puts me,” Haley said. “I can’t play any defense out here.” Click here for full article	Local Talent is Buzzing Jake Katz Q&A with NCAA Champ John Peterson
