Talented teens bring sister act to Porter Cup

LEWISTON, N.Y. (WIVB) — Watching greenside last summer as her elder sister nearly became the youngest champion in Porter Cup history, Alexa Phung told a tournament official, "I can beat these girls."

Well, maybe all but one.

Amelie Phung, now aged 16, returned to Niagara Falls Country Club and made seven birdies Wednesday to post a 5-under par score 65 and establish a three-shot lead over 18-year-old Canadian Ella Weber after the first round of play in the women's tournament.
