Our first of five MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS was successful and full of excitement.

Over 65 Members faced three seasons of challenging weather conditions on Saturday, but the golf on Sunday was truly exciting. 

In the end, we witnessed the triumph of some First-Time Champions, including one of the youngest players on our Tour.

Tournament Results
 

Champ Flight - This flight would see a close race after Day 1, with only 4 strokes seperating most of the field. On Day 2 anything could happen, and we would see a great performance by one Member, that would make three straight birdies in the last three holes to force our first playoff of the weekend. In the playoff, this same Member birdie the only hole needed to claim the Championship. Ryan Kimbrell would complete the great comeback with a Two Day TOTAL of +9 (153), making this 2nd Overall Victory on Tour. Securing the second place after the playoff hole was Grant Taylor.

 

A Flight - Following closely, the A Flight featured familiar faces as well as some new ones to shake up the mix. After Day 1 we would have a six stroke lead between half the field, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion. But on Day 2, it would become a battle between three Members with it coming down to the final hole to determine our champion. Billy Hinojos would enjoy his return to the winner circle with a TOTAL of +23 (167) score making this his 8th VICTORY ON TOUR. Second place would go to the local course legend Dan Duran with a +24 (168). 

 

B Flight - As usual, the B Flight offered battle until the end. After Day 1 we would have a familiar face as the leader and six others only eight shots back.

Amit Lopes would take third place with a total of +36 (180). 

 

D Flight - Concluding the event with the final flight, the tournament witnessed an amazing event to the end. After Day 1 we would have the six players chasing the leader, and so much golf left that anything could happen. On Day 2 it would be a battle for 18 holes, and another playoff would be needed.  EXCEPT IT WOULD BE WITH THREE PLAYERS!  In the end, after a 2 hole playoff, we would see  15 YEAR OLD  Evan Guevara claim the championship with TOTAL of +47 (191), making this his FIRST VICTORY ON TOUR. After the playoff, Robin Scheffer would take the second place spot. Scott McCauley would take third and a  PROMOTION TO C FLIGHT!
