We had a great tournament at Coral Ridge Country Club on Saturday! Surprisingly, after reading shaky weather forecasts all week, it was sunny and clear all day. The course was in great shape and there were plenty of good scores!
Although he didn’t have the lowest score, Daniel D’Loughy had the best “clutch” round of the day. Needing a high finish to qualify for the National Championship, he shot 78 – his best tournament round all year – and is on his way to La Quinta! Congratulations, Daniel! I hope you play just as well in California!
It was Joshua Lee who posted the low round of the day, making 5 birdies on the way to a 73 and cruising to a 5-stroke victory in the Palmer Flight. Great round, Joshua! Gian Luca Brignone and Daniel D’Loughy tied for 2nd place at 78. Brignone also qualified for the Nationals based on his finish.
Randy Bryant is the Hogan Flight Tour Champion after his round of 78. Bryant birdied the 4th, 8th and 10th holes as he distanced himself from the field. Hugh Koerner finished second with a solid 83 and Bhanu Vallabhaneni qualified for the National Championship with an 86.
Marc Milman is the Sarazen Flight Champion after posting an 81 and edging Andrew Pastewski by a stroke. Playing in the same foursome with Milman and Pastewski, Marc Tetzner and Marc Thibault tied for 3rd at 84.
John Methvin continues to be almost unstoppable, shooting 83 in his first event as a Jones player and winning by a whopping 10 strokes! Nice round, John – and great momentum going into the Nationals!
In the Snead flight, Jason Ballard claimed his first trophy – and a spot in the National Championship – by shooting 89 and winning by two strokes. George Blanton and John Daglaris tied for second at 91.
Congratulations to all the winners and National Championship qualifiers!
