- The Baltimore Life York Open was held at Bon Air Country Club on Monday.
- Only two players managed to break par at the southern York County facility.
- Ross Pilliod and Jordan Eck each shot 69. Pilliod won the title in a playoff.
Some of the top professional and amateur golfers in the region descended on southern York County on Monday for the Baltimore Life York Open.
When the day ended, of the 60-plus players in the field, only two managed to break par at the difficult and hilly Bon Air Country Club near Glen Rock.
Those two — Ross Pilliod, an amateur from LedgeRock Golf Club in Mohnton, and Jordan Eck, a pro from Williamsport Country Club — each fired 2-under-par 69s.
That meant a playoff was needed. Pilliod eventually won the playoff on the second hole to win the championship sponsored by the York County Amateur Golf Association.
Tying for third at even-par 71 were Parks Price, a pro from the Country Club of York, and Chris Wellde, a pro from Waverly Woods in Marriottsville, Maryland.

Ray Sheedy, an amateur from Mount Pleasant in Baltimore, was also in the tie for 10th. Sheedy is a former York County Amateur champion.
