Pleat, who was also the medalist after the first two days and the tourney’s top seed, defeated former Bishop Guertin golfer Cam Sheedy of Pepperell, Mass., 2 and 1 on Saturday afternoon at NCC.
Pleat was 4 up with five holes to play but Sheedy took 14, 15, and 16 to close to within 1 up with two holes to play. But he bogeyed 17 while Pleat managed a par to win it.
