BLUE BELL, Pa.– Conor McGrath and Brian Quinn, his Temple University coach, had a heart-to-heart about a year ago. McGrath had asked for a lesson and was planning on heading to the shore soon after. Quinn wasn't pleased. He knew McGrath's talents wouldn't flourish without a change. Since then, a more dedicated pupil emerged. On Saturday at Cedarbook Country Club (par 72, 7,015 yards) before a large gathering of friends and family, McGrath, with trusted caddie Matt Beck on the bag, put his skills on full display to defeat Jack Irons of Little Mill Country Club, 3&2, for the 121^st BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship title.
