The 2017 20Man 3-Ball event was held on a beautiful weather weekend. The weekend festivities began on Friday evening with the auction. Brad Kadue ran the auction with precision and heightened the energy of the bidding to have the total pot for the 15 teams reaching about $3500.
The first round saw some great weather, helping some teams to play really well. As the teams scores started coming in, the story for Sunday was beginning to take shape. The defending champions posted 60 to take the clubhouse lead, but there still teams on the course….At the end of day one, 3 teams were tied for the lead Kadue/Broyer(team handi 18), Meier/Bolduc(team handi 43) & Koppy/Cicic(team handi 35)…the question was…would the defending champs vault ahead on Sunday or would there be a new champion…
Sunday provided the same great weather as Saturday…a welcome sight after the weather issues of the year. The tee times were re-shuffled after Saturday to have the leaders out last. As the teams started coming in, the pages of the story were turning rapidly to find out the ending. As expected, the scores were tracking along with the Saturday finish. A middle of the pack team Peyer/Couture(team handicap 39), posted a 66 on Saturday, took the clubhouse lead with a -5, 139 for a team total of 205. The question was…would it hold with 6 teams ahead of them…
One by one, the teams came in…and couldn’t catch the new lead….the team of Gallagher/Jordan(team handicap of 14) was anxious as their total was being tallied…207…the Monogue/Pula(team handi 24) team came in, 63 Saturday, 146 Sunday…209 total…
Then the 3 Saturday leaders came in….the defending champs faltered and fell well off the pace…the Meier/Bolduc posted 153, total of 213….the Cicic/Koppy team posted 151 for a total 211….and all was done….a 6 shot come from behind victory for Peyer/Couture team to win the 2-Man 3-Ball event.
Here are the prizes for the top 5 teams and hole prize winners for the weekend.
Nicely run tourney, thanks much!
