Catholic Memorial School sophomore Andrew O’Leary, 15, of Norfolk, won the MIAA’s Division 2 South Sectional Golf individual title. He shot a 71 par at Easton Country Club.

“It was an extremely cold day on the course. There was an hour-and-a-half delay to the start of competition due to frost and the greens played very fast,” said O’Leary’s coach John Palermo.

O’Leary was minus two after nine holes and wound up par for the day. He’ll travel to Crump and Fox next week to chase the state title in Bernardston, Mass.

The 15 year old, who has a Plus 2 handicap, is ranked among the best players in his age group in the country.

As a CM freshman, O’Leary helped lead the CM Knights to the 2014 sectional title and third place in state team competition. He was named conference MVP in 2014.
