Tournament Results
 

Champ Flight - This flight had what once looked like a runaway win turn into a battle to the last hole. At the turn the leader was up by four strokes. But on the final four holes it would be a rough finish and we would see it come down to a possible playoff. Ultimately, Alasdair Forsythe would take the title with a +3 (75) score, making this BACK TO BACK VICTORIES THIS SEASON.

 

A Flight - Following closely, the A Flight featured some new faces with some good competition. At the turn we had half the fiield within three strokes of the leader, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion. It would come down to the last hole as well and in the end, Gaudencio Pavia emerged victorious with a +14 (86) score, making this his FIRST VICTORY in this new flight.

 

B Flight - As customary, the B Flight offered a relentless battle until the end. At the turn we would see most of the player within reach of the leader at the time. It would come down to the final hole to determine if we would have an outright Champion or a FIVE PLAYER PLAYOFF. But a par on the last hole would secure the victory for Stephanie Cieslik with a +18 (90) score, marking this her 9th overall Victory of his Tour Career. Securing the second place was Jared Lanham, after a scorecard playoff against three other players with a +19 (91).

 

C Flight - The C Flight boasted an unpredictable field where any player could emerge victorious. At the turn, all but 2 players were in contention and chasing the leader. The decisive factor in the victory would be the last two holes were pars on both would secure the win and avoid another playoff possibility. Rafael Hernandez would claim the championship at +18 (90), making this his SECOND VICTORY on Tour.  Meanwhile, Ricardo Almeida would take second place with a +19 (91).

 

D Flight - Concluding the event with the final flight, we would see the biggest flight of the day battle it out. At the turn, we would see a leader with a 4 stroke lead but plenty of golf ahead of them. With a concistent back nine the leader would cruise to victory. Scott McCauley would take the victory with a +14 (86), making this BACK TO BACK VICTORIES THIS SEASON.
