The Xaverian senior from neighboring Easton was at his home course Monday, chasing the lead in the MIAA Division 1 South sectional qualifier. “I just stayed patient the whole entire day,” said McCormack. “I just had to hit fairways and greens, and I knew I had a chance to win.”Trailing by two strokes with two holes to go, McCormack sank a 35-foot birdie putt on the 182-yard par-3 17th hole to give himself a chance. Wellesley senior Aarav Lavu bogeyed his second-to-last hole, on hole 1, bringing him to 1-over-par with McCormack. On his final hole, Lavu hit a 220-foot approach shot to around 10 feet, leaving himself a birdie putt for the win. “I knew where I stood,” said Lavu. “I just hit a great four-iron. Gave myself a chance to win it.”Lavu’s birdie putt rolled past the pin, and he tapped in for par. He finished tied for first at 1-over 71 with McCormack.
