Golf professional Andrew Cornish of Green Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill won the 2025 GALV Lehigh Valley/Reading Open by one stroke over Braden Shattuck of Rolling Green Golf Club after Tuesday’s second round was cancelled because of thunderstorms.
Cornish’s record-breaking round of nine-under-par, 63 from Monday at Berkleigh Golf Club will stand at the winning score.
“Today really started out hot, holing out from 100 yards and then making two birdies. I wish we could have played more golf today, but it was still a good day,” said Cornish.
LuLu Country Club’s Trevor Bensel finished in third place at 7-under-par, followed by Laurel Creek Country Club’s Dave Quinn at 6-under-par, and Merion Golf Club’s Joanna Coe at 5-under.
Earlier this year, Moselem Springs Golf Club, in collaboration with Berkleigh Golf Club, announced the return of the Reading Open, an iconic professional tournament that was a regular PGA Tour stop in the 1940s and 1950s, previously held at storied venues such as Berkshire Country Club and Reading Country Club. With past champions including legends like Sam Snead and Ben Hogan, the tournament is being reimagined for a new generation of PGA of America Golf Professionals, while honoring its prestigious roots.
