Lancaster County Junior Golf Tour Hat trick sparks Will Riva to LCJGT win at Hawk Valley
On August 10, 2015 in General by Ted Sheftic Ted Sheftic
Will Riva, a rising junior at Lancaster Catholic, opened the current Lancaster County Junior Golf Tour season with a victory at Overlook.After that tournament, he thanked his “lucky charm” — a white bucket hat that protects his pale skin, blonde hair and blue eyes from the sun.Riva, however, recently slept over at a friend’s house. But with Tuesday’s Golf, Etc., Lusk & Associates Junior at Hawk Valley drawing near, he realized there was something missing — his lucky charm.“I called him (and said), ‘Hey, I need you to bring that bucket hat. I need it,’ ” Riva said.When his friend arrived at Hawk Valley on Tuesday, Riva charged up to him and urgently asked, “Dude, you have my hat? I need it.”The exchange was made, and Riva was reunited with his lucky charm.Good thing, too. With the hat came Riva’s second LCJGT championship of the summer.After playing a stellar round of 36-37—73, Riva finished four strokes ahead of Ethan Cairns (39-38—77) and Patrick Neslund (36-41—77) for the crown.“To be honest, tee to green was the best I’ve ever played,” Riva said. “I hit 17 greens.”

  • Email from Jr Will Riva

    Hey coach Sheftic it's Will Riva. Just wanted to check up
    on you and let you know how I've done in some past tournaments. I played in the
    Philly Tour Tournament at Bent Creek and shot an 82 (+11) finished 9th, then
    played in the Lancaster Tour's Overlook tournament and finished 1st with a 74
    (+4), then played in the Lancaster Tour's Four Seasons Tournament today and
    shot 80 (+10, 43-37) finished 10th. I'm hitting the ball spectacularly I just
    seem to make too many little mistakes that make a possible 74 round into an 80
    round. I would like to get serious with my game, and Jake told me about your
    stat sheets. Can you send me some to fill out so you can check up on what I need
    to improve on, and we'll work from there?
    Thanks,  Will Riva
