Ridgewood's Will Celiberti Wins New Jersey Boys Golf Championship

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — Will Celiberti put on a putting clinic to win the 46th New Jersey Boys Championship Wednesday.

Celiberti was down by two holes after four against his Bergen Catholic teammate Alessandro Lamarca. He stormed back all and sealed the win with two, 30-foot birdie putts on the par-four 13 and 14 holes.

“I’ve been striking it well this summer, but not putting as well. After Tuesday’s round I went to the range at Arcola with my dad. I held the putter a little looser and exaggerated getting the putter on the line," Celiberti said. "I felt like today I was reading the putts well and getting the speeds right."

Celiberti birdied eight of the 15 holes he played Wednesday.
