The 70th MPGA Senior PubLinks was held on July 17-18 at Eastwood Golf Club in Rochester. It was a great weekend of weather and competition. The course was in excellent condition and the greens were perfect and running fast. If you are down in the Rochester area and have the chance to play, I highly recommend checking Eastwood Golf Club out for a round.
There were only two Brookview members competing this weekend, but they are prominent members, Ramiro Sifuentes and Roger Hamm. Our boys represented Brookview with accolades.
Ramiro competed in the Net 1 flight. He got out of the blocks on Saturday in round 1 with a flying start carding a opening 9 1-over 36 gross, that included 2 birdies and a double on the 9th. He carried his great play onto the back nine carding a 2-over 38, with another 2 birdies and another double. This tallied to a gross 3-over 74 gross (66 net) and his career low round placing himself with a 6 shot lead after day 1. He was also the only competitor in the net 1 division to card an under-par net round the entire weekend. His second round was played well in line with the rest of the field carding an 83 gross (75 net) and extended his lead and becoming the 2021 MPGA Senior Net 1 Champion with a 1-under net total and a seven shot victory. Congratulations to Ramiro and the WNL needs to congratulate him!!!
Roger was in the Net 2 flight. His opening round 87 (net 75) placed him in the middle of the pack and 10 back after day 1. However, Roger came back with a vengeance in round 2. He had an opening 9 6-over (Even Net) and flew up the leaderboard to 4th place. He then stepped on the gas on the back nine carding a 3-over (4-under net) for huge day 2 rally shooting a 79 (67 net) moving himself into 2nd place where he finished. He was also 1 of only 2 guys to shoot an under par net round in the flight for the weekend.
Congratulations Ramiro! Great shooting. You too Roger
