We had a great tournament at Hillcrest on Saturday! The weather was nice and the course was in great shape!
Stephen Hagerman had the round of the day – and the season so far – shooting a 1-under par 71!! Now this wasn’t the first under-par round of the season, but it was the first under par round for a Hogan Flight player in South Florida… ever.
Fantastic round, Steve! He birdied four holes on the front nine, paired with just two bogies to make the turn at 2-under 34. On the back nine, he made par on all but the 11th hole for a 37. When I asked if he was nervous hitting his approach to the island-green on the 18th, he said that he wasn’t worried at all. As he put it… ‘no matter what happened, I had played a great round’. That’s a great way to think when you’re having a “career” round. Congratulations again, Steve!
Now… before you go scrambling to check his tournament index, I’ll save you the trouble. It was 9.9 at the time of the tournament. Steve just had an incredible round where everything went right. In fact, that’s the first time he’s broken 80 in his two and a half seasons on tour.
In other flights, Scott Heffner won the Championship Flight vs. Floyd Goodson after a 1-hole playoff.
Craig Tompkins had a great day in the Palmer Flight, taking the trophy with a 77. Brad Bishop finished 1 stroke back at 78.
Peter Galiette was the runner-up in the Hogan Flight with an 82 and Jose Delgado took third with an 83.
In the Sarazen Flight, Torrence Mack played the best, posting an 81 in a very competitive race. David Fortune finished 1 stroke back at 82 (with three birdies!) and Ken Rush posted an 83 for third.
Randolph Simonson, who splits time between the Chicago and Miami/Fort Lauderdale Tours, took the Jones Flight trophy, running away from the field with a nice 84! John Copeland and Tony Maroon tied for 2nd with 94s.
In the Snead Flight, Rodolfo Lefeld claimed his first victory on the Am Tour, shooting a solid 89. Lefeld bested his good friend Tommy O’Harte, who shot a 91 for second place. John Daglaris finished 3rd with a 93.
John Daglaris was the big skins winner of the day, pocketing $400 for his birdie on #6. Congratulations, John!
Congratulations to all the winners!
