While May in New England was drenched in sunshine, June provided more challenging weather for players competing around the region.
Connecticut crowned a state amateur champion and a women's state open champion. Massachusetts had its flagship event, the Mass Open, at TPC Boston for the first time. Michael Thornbjornsen (Wellesley, Mass.) qualified for his second straight U.S. Open and the third in his young golfing career.
Along with championship events, USGA qualifiers came thick and fast, and junior events seem to happen nearly every day between AJGA, US Challenge Cup and NEPGA Junior Tour. Some talented juniors even made some noise in major events.
Let's meet the players that stood out in June and earned Player of the Month honors.
