HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. –Mike Crowley won six holes in match play competition over a 10-hole stretch to pull away and win the 123rd-Annual BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship at Huntingdon Valley Country Club on Saturday.
 
Crowley, who will be a senior at Loyola University Maryland in the fall, defeated Patrick Isztwan of the University of Richmond, 7&6 in a 36-hole final for the title.
 
The 2023 All-Patriot League honoree shot 4-under 67 to lead 3-up after the morning's 18 holes, but Isztwan birdied Huntingdon Valley's second hole to close within 2-up after 20.
 
Crowley then rolled in three-straight birdies to take a 5-up lead through 23 holes. Isztwan came back to win the next, but Crowley won the next two for a 6-up lead after 26.
 
A birdie on the 10^th hole gave him a 7-up lead, and he closed out the match two holes later with a par on the 12^th hole of the course and 30^th of the day.
 
Crowley was seeded 14^th after stroke play, and he won his Round of 32 match, 4&3 against John Barone. He knocked off Andy Butler, 6&5, to reach the quarterfinals where he was a 2&1 winner over Campbell Wolf.
 
He then outlasted Benjamin Smith, 1-up, in a Thursday semifinal to reach the championship match.
