Turtleback Mountain Recap

The EP / LC Masters at Turtleback Mountain Golf & Resort delivered an incredible weekend of golf for the first Major of the season!

Held on March 14–15, we had a huge field of 80 players take on one of the premier courses in the region. Cool mornings gave way to perfect conditions, but the wind picked up on Day 2, adding an extra challenge.

The course was in phenomenal shape, providing a true test for every player & setting the stage for a great two-day Major battle.

 

Tournament Results

Champ   Flight

We had an incredible turn out for this flight with any of the names capable of taking the Major Championship. After Day 1 we would have a tie for first with a 74, but five players right behind them. Day 2 would become a challenge for all but one player, who would need a UNDER PAR round to take the victory. Zachary Adams emerged victorious with a +1 (175 Total), marking this his FIRST TOUR WIN! Marshall Daniel would take second place with a +5 (149 Total).

A   Flight

Just like the last event, this flight would have one member showing everyone how to be consistent, take charge and never look back. After Day 1 our leader would have five stroke lead with the entire field hopeing to catch up on Day 2. But with a consistent round and minimizing mistakes, our champion would take the victory in style. Fernie Jasso would return to the the winner circle and take the victory with a +13 (157 Total) and making this his 7th TOUR WIN! We would have a three player tie for second with a +24 (168 Total) with Dan Duran taking the tiebreaker for second, and Kenny Crowe taking third after the tiebreakers. 

B   Flight

At the start everyone in this flight thought they had a chance, but once again one player had other plans! After Day 1, the leader had a five or more strokes on everyone else and didn't look back even on Day 2. With a consistent round on both days there were not many flaws in his game this weekend. NATIONAL CHAMPION Ricardo Almeida would continue to claim victories with a +13 (157 Total), securing his 7th TOUR WIN. Ken Copeland would take second with a +25 (169 Total), and Francisco Del Olmo would take third with a +27 (171 Total).

C   Flight

The trend would continue with this flight as the leader after Day 1 would have an amazing round and put a strangehold for Day 2. Others would try and battle back on Day 2, but consistent rounds both days, and the same score would be the determining factor for a walk in the park victory. NEW MEMBER Alex Jasso would win with a +14 (158 Total), marking his FIRST VICTORY ON TOUR. Ruben Herrera would take second place with a +31 (175 Total). Jon Calderon would take third with a +32 (176 Total), and Ruben Tavera would take fourth with a +35 (179 Total).

Alex would also earn a promotion to B FLIGHT!!!

D   Flight

Our final group would continue the trend with a strong start from one player, but anything can happen until the very end as we have seen in the past! After Day 1 our leader had a slim lead from a handful of players, but would come out on Day 2 and have a better round to secure the victory with ease. Manny Munoz would go BACK TO BACK and take the victory with a +34 (178 Total), marking this his 2nd Tour Win! Nique Woods-Shells would take second with a +40 (184). AJ Salaiz would take third with a +43 (187 Total), and German Macias would take fourth with a +44 (188 Total).
