WILLISTON – Hazen Union alum and current assistant coach for the Wildcat golf program Aaron Molleur, qualified for this week’s Vermont Amateur.
Molleur carded a 79 last Thursday at Williston Golf Club to secure his spot in the upcoming Vermont-Am, hosted by Manchester Country Club. Jackson King of Barton Golf Club fired a 4-under 67 to claim low medalist honors, four strokes ahead of runner-up Nick Ojala of Proctor-Pittsford. Other local qualifiers included Colton Hudson and Will Eaton of Orleans C.C. and Alex Tilgner, Chris Strazzulla, Luke Russell, and Chris Eaton of Stowe.
In just his fourth year after taking up the game, Molleur medaled twice as a senior for the Hazen golf team in 2019. He is now the three-time defending club champion at Mountain View Country Club in Greensboro.
Molleur and the rest of the field put their games to the test in Manchester on Tuesday in the historical three-day tournament. Former Otter Valley star Lucas Politano (Ralph Myhre Golf Course) is the defending champion.
