Washington, July 20 (IBNS) Rich Berberian Jr. of Derry, New Hampshire, whose dramatic 30-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole won the 2016 PGA Professional Championship last month, leads a group of 20 PGA Professionals to the 98th PGA Championship, July 28-31, at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

The son of a PGA Professional, the 28-year-old Berberian is just the second member of the New England PGA Section to win the national Championship. Berberian edged Mark Brown of Oyster Bay, New York and Omar Uresti of Austin, Texas by a single stroke, finishing with an 11-under-par total of 277.

Berberian is one of six of the 20 PGA Professionals that will be making their first PGA Championship appearance.

Rick Schuller of Chester, Virginia, will be returning to the PGA Championship for the first time since 2003.

Brown has the most PGA Championship experience of the group, having played five times previously.
