FIVE CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT U.S. CUP

The United States Golf Teachers Cup is annually the largest gathering of USGTF members in the country and serves an important function beyond competition. Members are able to meet others from around the nation, renew old acquaintances and make new friendships. In addition, it is a great chance to meet members of the National Office staff, including president and CEO Brandon Lee.

First-time player Matthew Abramson won a closely-fought battle in the Open division over runner-up and two-time champion Ken Kim. Abramson fired rounds of 68-74 – 142. In the Senior division, Kirk Junge’s four-year winning streak came to a halt as Vernon Doswell shot 71-75 – 146 to best runner-up Deron Owns. In the Super Senior division, a three-way tie between Jong Ki Kwak, Jeff Campbell and Jim Perez at 153 necessitated a the first scorecard playoff in U.S. Cup history, won by Kwak. And in the Pro-Am division, the team of Caleb Tarr and Andrew McWatters came out victorious. Results can be viewed at https://www.golfgenius.com/pages/13017890787839491821.
