DiLisio does it again! Different course, same result. For the second straight year, Steven DiLisio captured the Boys Division title at the Massachusetts Junior Amateur Championship. The 12-year-old who is a junior member at Salem Country Club and who was featured on the cover of July’s North Shore Golf & Tennis magazine, more than lived up to the billing by posting a two-round total of 11-over par 155 to win by a five-stroke margin at Foxboro CC. “I am pretty excited,” said DiLisio, who capped off his victory this morning by making birdie on the 502-yard, par 5 18th hole. “It feels good that all of the hard work is finally paying off.” This past summer, DiLisio, who will be a seventh grader at Swampscott Middle School in the fall, has focused his efforts on improving his overall game by competing in a slew of local, regional and national events. It also helps that he has a supportive family including his mother and grandfather (who followed him all week long) as well as older brother Anthony and father Dana, who captured the 2007 Massachusetts Father & Son Championship. “My game has been pretty good lately,” said DiLisio, who also credits his coach Tom Patri for his improvement over the years. “I didn’t hit the ball great yesterday, but I made a lot of putts. Today was the opposite. I hit the ball well, but I didn’t make many putts.” To that point, DiLisio
