Joe Carey and Nina Choe are in position to win again.
Carey, a junior at Yorktown, shot a 71 at Tamarack Country Club in the opening round of the Section 1 boys golf championship Monday and is tied atop the leaderboard with Greeley’s Ken Fernandez. They are two shots clear of Rye’s Graham Erickson and North Salem’s James Nemeth heading into the final round.
Choe, a senior at Ursuline who is looking for a third straight sectional title, posted a 71 at The Links at Union Vale and leads Magnus’ Sybille Mayer by two shots. She is also the defending state champion.
Rye captured the boys team championship and Scarsdale again won the girls team crown.
