St. John’s Prep sophomore Nick McLaughlin became just the third golfer from the school to capture the Division 1 state individual championship when he fired a 72 at Turner Hill in Ipswich earlier this week.
McLaughlin, the reigning Massachusetts Junior champion, posted a 37 on the front and a 35 on the back to run away from the Division 1 field.
Only Ed Whalley (1950) and Peter McDonald (1968) previously won individual golf championships for St. John’s Prep.
