Crystal Highlands GC delivered plenty of excitement in the A Flight this weekend. Conditions were tough, with narrow fairways and tricky greens testing every part of the players’ games. At the end of 18 holes, three players stood tied at the top: Albert Delamarter, Ryan Marchbanks, and Chris Poetz, all carding an 85.
That meant only one thing — playoff time. The pressure was on as the three teed it up for sudden death. Marchbanks and Poetz both played solid, but Albert stayed steady and seized his opportunity. With nerves of steel, he edged out his competitors on the very first playoff hole to claim the A Flight victory.
Congrats, Albert, on getting back to the winners circle!
