In the NJSGA Junior Championship, Greyserman played sub-par golf for three straight days and it culminated with a 5 and 4 victory over Zach Egermayer of White Beeches in the final match of the Championship .

Greyserman, 18, graduated Peddie in the spring and will play for the Duke University golf team this fall. He is a second team Rolex Junior All-American.

“I came here to win and gain match-play experience,” said Greyserman, a Short Hills resident who competed in the NJSGA Juniors for the first time. “My ball striking was good overall. I really hit the driver well. But I need to find a way to hit it lower. My putting was really streaky.”

Greyserman shot 3-under-par 69 in the qualifier on Monday. He reports to Duke on August 20, just two days after the British Boys event and will play in four fall events in North Carolina.
