What an event we had at this new course. Not only did we have great weather, but the course was fun and challenging for everyone. We will definitely come back and have close matches like we did today in all the flights. 

Congratulations to all our champions.
 
Thank you to all the staff at
we greatly appreciate you hosting for the first time
Tournament Results 
 

Champ Flight - Ty Taylor would hit the turn with a 1 stroke lead on the field. Having a consistent back nine, he would not only finish the day with a +2 (74) but also claim his first victory on Tour by 3 strokes. Looking forward to seeing what is to come with him in the Champ Flight. 

 

A Flight - Tell me if you've heard this story before this season. At the turn it was a tight race between our top 2 players, as they would battle throughout the back nine. Eventually we would have our champion, and making this his 4th victory of the season, Jacob Howard would end the day with a +3 (75) with Rick Silva taking second with a +6 (78). 

 

B Flight - There would be a battle all day with half the flight in the mix with nine holes to go. But a solid back nine would be the determining factor for our champion. Chris Rocha would take the victory with a +6 (78) and making it his second victory this season. Kenny Crowe would put up a fight, but would end up in second place with a +9 (81). 

 

C Flight - At the turn we would have three players tied with and handful right behind them. It would be a battle until the end, with a possible playoff. But in the end Ron Brantley would hold off the flight and take his first victory of the season with a +11 (83). Jerome Bingham would take second with a +13 (85) for the day. 

 

D Flight - To complete the theme of this event, this flight would also have a battle to the final hole. At the turn half the field was within a stroke, and it would take all 18 holes to determine a Champion. Thomas Christianson would end the day with a +23 (95), making this his first victory of the season. Ozzy Vasquez would take second from a scorecard playoff with Federico Corral. They would both shoot a +25 (97) for the day. 

Congratulations to all our flight winners this weekend at the
New Mexico Showcase.
