Blake Phillips Dominates to Capture 2025 Porter Cup Men’s Title
Blake Phillips, a 21-year-old standout from Sydney, Australia, captured his first U.S. amateur title with a wire-to-wire win at the 2025 Porter Cup at Niagara Falls Country Club. Phillips carded rounds of 67, 70, 70, and a closing 65 to finish at 8 under par (272), winning by five shots over a strong international field.
Already a winner at the 2024 Victorian Amateur and a key figure in Concord Golf Club’s pennants triumph, Phillips showcased his consistent form and championship poise throughout the week. A bogey-free back nine in the final round sealed the victory, adding another highlight to a season that already included strong finishes at the Keperra Bowl and Rice Planters Amateur.
Reed Greyserman (USA / Princeton University) shot the lowest round of the day with a 62 to vault into a tie for second at 3 under, alongside Canadian Garrett Rank (University of Waterloo alum), who closed with a 68. Virginia’s Nikita Gubenko (George Mason University alum) finished solo fourth at 2 under after an opening 62. Coby Carruthers of Australia placed fifth at 1 under.
