Princeton freshman leads midway through the 123rd New Jersey Amateur Golf Championship
BLOOMFIELD – Reed Greyserman will be the center of attention entering Wednesday’s 36-hole finale of the 123rd New Jersey Amateur Golf Championship.
Greyserman, 19, an incoming freshman at Princeton, extended his lead to five shots after carding 5-under-par 66 during Tuesday’s second round at Forest Hill Field Club. He stands at 12-under 130.
“It’s going to be a long day, so don’t get too caught up on one shot when you’re out there playing and hitting so many different shots,” said Greyserman, a Short Hills resident representing Hamilton Farm.
Greyserman holds a five-shot lead over Liam Pasternak, 17, of Essex Fells and Jeremy Wall, 29, of Manasquan River. Pasternak shot 67 and Wall 68 to move to 7-under 135.
If Pasternak wins, he might be the first high school champion of this New Jersey State Golf Association event. Two months ago, Pasternak won the New Jersey high school Tournament of Champions as a junior at Morristown.
“I’m really looking forward to it,” said Pasternak, who tees off with Greyserman in Wednesday’s third round at 9:10 a.m. “I think my game is in a great spot.”
Wall, 29, can give his family back-to-back Amateur titles, as his younger brother, Jack, won last year’s crown in a three-hole aggregate playoff. Jack, 23, is in contention as well.
Mark Costanza of Baltusrol, 35, the 2020 State Open champion, is fourth at 4-under after shooting 67. Drew Mulcahy of Baltusrol is fifth after his 71 left him at 3-under.
Austin Devereux of Manasquan River, the 2020 Amateur champion, shot a second consecutive 70 and his 2-under is tied for sixth with Troy Vannucci of Little Mill, who carded 71. Defending champion Jack Wall of Manasquan River climbed into the picture with a 67 that has him tied for eighth at 1-under.
Greyserman is the youngest of three golfing brothers and all have made a splash in NJSGA events. His oldest brother, Max, won the State Open in 2014 and State Amateur in 2015 and is in his first season on the PGA Tour. Another brother, Dean, was runner-up at the State Amateur in 2020. Reed was fourth at the State Amateur in 2021 and fifth in 2022.
Reed Greyserman played Tuesday’s last seven holes at 5-under, and it started after back-to-back bogeys on the 10th and 11th. He eagled the par-5 14th by hitting a 6-iron from 178 yards into the wind to within a foot. He had birdies on the 12th, 17th and 18th holes.
“I did a good job calming myself down and hit a lot of really good shots on the last five holes,” Greyserman said.
Jeremy Wall was cruising until he closed with three consecutive bogeys, on Nos. 7, 8, and 9, for his 68. He has yet to birdie those three holes and is in search of answers.
“I didn’t finish well, which is the most important part to me,” Wall said, adding: “I have to play seven, eight and nine better. I have to hit better shots or focus harder. I have to do something different on those three, because I’ve struggled on them.”
Pasternak had five birdies and one bogey en route to his 67 and rise to 7-under. He had a little luck on his second-to-last hole, the par-4 17th, when his too-hard chip from 35 yards hit the flagstick and dropped a foot near the hole for a tap-in par.
“Tee to green it was really good, really solid,” said Pasternak. already committed to Notre Dame. “I didn’t put myself in too many poor positions off the tee, and into the greens I stayed in the right spots, hit it close enough to the hole, and gave myself chances all day.”
Costanza labeled his 67 “pretty steady.” The Bergen Catholic graduate and Morristown resident had five birdies and one bogey to climb to 4-under, and his 2020 State Open title shows he’s battle tested for this finale.
“The good thing about this event is it’s 72 holes,” Costanza said. “It’s 36 holes in and you’re only halfway there, so there’s a lot of golf left to be played.”
Jack Wall, like his brother a graduate of Christian Brothers Academy, climbed into the red and into the top 10 with a 67 that was “solid, but it could have been a lot lower.” He had five birdies and one bogey and might need a couple more 67s to climb into the thick of it.
“It kind of eases your mind a little bit knowing what to expect,” said Wall, who this spring graduated from Texas Tech. “It’s a long day and you just have to survive it pretty much.”

Filming Big Mistakes in New Jersey was no mistake at all.
The Netflix comedy series, which debuted earlier this month, has already hit the streaming service’s Global Top 10 English TV List, making it one of the most-watched shows out right now.
As per Netflix, the comedy series co-created, executive produced, written and starring Emmy winner Dan Levy, follows Nicky (Levy) and Morgan (Taylor Ortega), two deeply incapable siblings who are in over their heads when a misguided theft for their dying grandmother accidentally pulls them into the world of organized crime. Blackmailed into increasingly dangerous assignments, they clumsily fail upwards, sinking deeper into chaos they’re ill-equipped to handle. The dark comedy, which has only eight episodes, has a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes so far.

Set in the fictional New Jersey suburb of Glenview, the series was fittingly filmed primarily in numerous towns and cities in New Jersey, including Caldwell, Cranford, Franklin Lakes, Irvington, Jersey City, Union, Warren and Weehawken for a total of 40 filming locations. (The cartel storyline in Episode 7 was shot in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where its coastline and architecture doubled as Miami’s waterfront, luxury estates and yacht life.)
“I’ve really enjoyed shooting in New Jersey,” location manager Mia Thompson said. “We have quite a number of recurring locations that have all just been wonderful—not only the home owners, but the business owners, the towns, the local police, the local fire departments, the town clerks. It’s been a really great experience.”
More than 300 cast and crew and 500 vendors took part in the production. Ortega, who plays Morgan, is actually a New Jersey native and was surprised to film in her backyard.
“It was surreal getting to film in my home state,” she said. “I grew up in New Jersey and was obsessed with film and television and never thought I’d be returning home for such a major project and moment in my life.”
The show filmed the scenes at Morelli’s Hardware, run by Nicky and Morgan’s mom (Laurie Metcalf), at Edison Millwork & Hardware, a more than 50-year-old, family-owned hardware store in Edison.
“It’s one of the few mom and pop hardware stores that are left anywhere, really, so it was really great to find this location that fits very perfectly with our story,” Thompson said.
The show was also filmed at Wyoming Presbyterian Church in Millburn—the backdrop for Nicky’s day job as a pastor and his living space.
“We’ve utilized every inch of space of that church inside and out,” said Thompson. “They’ve enjoyed the experience just as much as we have.”
Other spots they filmed at include Deerfield School, Essex County Airport, Fosterfields Living Historical Farm, Hatfield Swamp, Springfield Municipal Building and the Crystal Inn in Eatontown.
“One thing about New Jersey is that it’s so diverse. The various neighborhoods offer different kinds of looks and aesthetics,” said Thompson. “You have everything that you could ask for.”

Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band tour rehearsal in Ocean Grove
Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band March 26, 2026 Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour rehearsal at the Ocean Grove Youth Center in Ocean Grove.
There will be No Kings at the Monday, April 20 Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band show at the Prudential Center in Newark but the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey will be there.
The group will be the “featured organization” for the New Jersey stop of the band’s Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour.
“We’re honored to have the opportunity to work with New Jersey’s own Bruce Springsteen to advocate for the rights and freedoms that all people deserve,” said ACLU-NJ Executive Director Amol Sinha in statement. “This moment requires all of us, and we are grateful to Bruce, who is using his platform to fight against authoritarianism and for our rights. We share a love for New Jersey and a desire to make the Garden State safer and freer for everyone who calls it home. Our team is thrilled to connect with everyone who shares our mission to protect and defend civil liberties, and who knows the power that art and music have to change the world.”
Springsteen said the American Dream is under attack by “our wannabe king and his rogue government” when he announced the tour on Feb. 17. Promotional posters for the tour features the phrase “No Kings,” a reflection of the national anti-President Donald Trump protests that have taken place in the last year.
The tour kickoff was March 31 at the Target Center in Minneapolis and it included 27 songs over three hours. The show also featured some direct talk from Springsteen on the state of the country. The setlist included the newly composed “Streets of Minneapolis,” written after the fatal shooting by federal agents of Renee Good and Alex Pretti of Minneapolis in January.
ACLU-NJ representatives will be at the Prudential Center to talk to concertgoers about its work. The American Civil Liberties Union previously released an ad with the Springsteen classic “Born in the U.S.A.” featured on the eve of the Supreme Court case where the ACLU is challenging the President Trump’s executive order attempting to overturn the current interpretation of 14th Amendment, which grants automatic citizenship to those born in the U.S. regardless of their parents’ legal status.
