Glengarry Golf Links assistant pro Talon Kriebel is having quite a summer.

He won three Tri-State Section PGA events — the Falling Rock Classic, the Assistants Championship and Pittsburgh Open — all in July and picked up three second-place finishes, as well.

Now the 29-year-old finds himself in a four-way tie for the lead heading to the final round of the 110th annual Pennsylvania Open on Wednesday at Laurel Valley Golf Club at Ligonier.

Kriebel, who led after the first round Monday when he shot a 6-under 66, shot a 1-under 71 to finish the second round on Tuesday at 7-under 137, tied with Braden Shattuck of Springfield, Jake Haberstumps of Bethlehem and Tim Peters of State College.

“It has been a good year,” Kriebel said. “I started when I changed my iron heads.

“My driver is back to normal, and I hit it well on Monday. My putting was good on Tuesday. I was able to roll in a few. I made one blunder on No. 18.”

Kriebel said he only looked at the leaderboard twice during the second round.

“The key on Wednesday is to stay patient,” Kriebel said.

A shot back at 6-under are Upper St. Clair’s Jordan Scott and Peters Township’s Alex Stopperich.

Two shots back are Longue Vue’s Amani D’Ambrosio and Zac Oakley of King of Prussia. Oakley’s round included a hole-in-one on No. 8 and a triple-bogey 8 on No. 18.

Other notable local players in the hunt include Mark Goetz of Greensburg, who is tied for ninth at 3-under; Matt Holuta of Indiana, Carson Kittsley of Fox Chapel and Connor Schmidt of McMurray, tied for 11th at 2-under; and Daniel Obremski of Irwin, Austin Lemieux of Sewickley and Nick Turowski of Harrison City, tied for 17th at 1-under.

USGA Amateur

The three local golfers competing in the U.S. Amateur at Merion Country Club near Philadelphia failed to qualify for match play, which begins on Wednesday.

Seneca Valley grad Matt Vogt, a dentist from Indianapolis, got off to a great start Monday at the Philadelphia Country Club by racing out to 5-under after 10 holes.

But a double-bogey 6 on his 11th hole (No. 2) and bogeys on four of his final five holes had him finish at even-par 70.

On Tuesday, he shot a 3-over at Merion and missed the cut by one shot.

Matt Mattioli of Fox Chapel finished 15-over, and Chuck Tragesser of Murrysville was 16-over.

Keystone State Cup

Henry Manciu, a 16-year-old junior at Canon-McMillan, will be hosting the first Keystone State Cup on Saturday and Sunday at The Club at Nevillewood.

Manciu is bringing in 24 of the top juniors in the state who will compete in a Ryder Cup format.

The event started because Manciu wanted to use golf to give back.

Each player is raising money, with proceeds benefiting the Jack Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, the TEN Memorial Fund and the ACE Grant.

Nevillewood has donated the course for the two-day event.

Manciu raised more than $9,000 for the Nicklaus Foundation in 2025 by offering chipping and putting lessons in his backyard, by hosting a garage sale of gently used golf equipment and by dressing as the Golfing Grinch and visiting families during the holidays.

He was able to meet with Nicklaus in March.

So far, more than $46,000 has been raised.
