Cameron Wilson's bid for a second straight Met Amateur championship came up short Sunday when he lost to Evan Beirne in the final, 7-and-6, at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, N.Y. Wilson is a Rowayton resident who plays out of Shorehaven Golf Club in Norwalk.
Beirne led 3-up after the first 18 holes of the 36-hole final. The St. John's senior turned up the heat in the second round, going 4-up on the fifth hole and then making four straight birdies on holes seven through 10 to build a huge lead.
While disappointed, Wilson played well in another marquee event. "I played pretty consistent golf all week and I was medalist, so I played well despite not playing as well as Evan today," said Wilson. "It's always good to have experiences in the bag, and I know going forward that if I play well, I'll be all right."
