GORDONSVILLE – Nick Tremps earned a top 20 finish during Wednesday’s 101st annual Virginia State Golf Association Amateur championships held at Spring Creek Golf Club in Gordonsville.

The former Jamestown High standout shot a 2-under-par, 70 on Wednesday to finish the tournament tied for 17th with a score of 151.

A rising junior at the University of Virginia, Tremps advanced to Thursday’s stroke-play event. He
will compete against Leesburg’s Brantley Kushner in the first round of the competition.

Four other golfers from greater Williamsburg competed in this week’s tournament, but none made the cut.

Richmond’s Adam Bell carded back-to-back rounds of 66 to edge Richmond’s Jordan Utley (136) and Chilhowie’s Conner Hayden (136) for the tournament title.
