CLICK HERE TO SEND US A MESSAGE!
The stage at TPC Scottsdale was set, and the East Coast came to play. In this episode, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha break down the thrilling action where East Coast players captured four of the five flight titles, including a pair of playoff finishes that kept fans on edge.
Chris shares first-hand stories from Arizona, including Championship Flight winner Wally Nelson’s back-to-back 69s and Marcus Worth’s runaway A-Flight victory. We also hear about Jermaine Luke’s dramatic two-hole playoff win in D-Flight and the Atlanta sweep in C and D Flights, which is fueling talk of new regional rivalries.
But it wasn’t just about golf swings and scorecards; this event was about community. Longtime sponsor Xerxes “Zeus” reflects on his 20-year journey with the Golfweek Amateur Tour, proving once again that this tour is more than competition; it’s about friendships, family, and life-changing connections.
Plus, with the Golfweek Amateur Tour National Championship just weeks away, we update you on registration (A-Flight and C-Flight are already sold out!) and preview what promises to be one of the most competitive and memorable finales yet.
