Ryan Gay played in his first Maine Amateur golf championship as a 14-year-old kid in 2004. He made the cut that first year, knocking 13-time champ Mark Plummer out of the tournament.

Gardiner's Ryan Gay and Gorham's Davd Gushee knew they'd be no playoff after they tied for the Class A individial title Saturday at Natanis. But they held one anyway.

Natanis pro Dick Browne will still be a familiar figure at Maine high school golf events since many of them, including the state team and individual championships, Browne has another week are held at the Vassalboro course.
