He finished with a medalist round of 71, just one stroke better than Foxboro’s Zac Georgantas, helping the Tigers win the team title. As a team, OA shot a 219, four strokes better than second place Franklin.
“Braden is incredibly accurate tee to green and has been working very hard year round on his swing and short game at the Golf Academy of New England,” said Oliver Ames head coach Ryan Riley.
Shapiro’s medalist round including a one over par 36 on the front and an even par 35 on the back nine. He birdied the par three third hole to get back to even and added a birdie on the par five eighth. After a bogey on the par three ninth, Shapiro came right back with a birdie on the 10th. He had back-to-back bogeys on the 11th and 12th holes but got a birdie on the par four 14th to move back to one over. Shapiro closed with four straight pars, holding onto his one-stroke lead to the end.
