Hanna-Wehrman Cup
A year after its first loss in 10 years, the NCGA took back the Hanna-Wehrman Cup in a thriller.
Having entered the Singles matches holding a tight 6-4 lead, the NCPGA kept things tight but it wasn’t enough as 2018 NCGA Public Links champion Ben Peters came through in the clutch, halving his late match with Brian Glosser to give the amateurs a 10.5-9.5 victory.
“It was a hard fought win,” said NCGA captain Gail Rogers, the first female captain the NCGA has ever had. “It was exciting, coming down to the final match.”
The NCGA led 8-6 following wins by defending Player of the Year Jason Anthony and 2018 California Amateur champ Bobby Bucey, but the NCPGA came back with wins by Stuart Smith and Zach Makilan. Nick Moore and Matt Cohn, who won this year’s NCGA Amateur Stroke Play Championship and NCGA Mid-Amateur Championship, respectively, also had big wins for the NCGA.
The NCGA leads in the overall series, 24-18-10. The NCGA has won 11 of the last 12 years.
Staedler-Jetter Cup
The NCGA rolled to a 20.5-7.5 victory after winning Singles matches, 7.5-6.5. The winning points from the NCGA came from Staedler-Jetter rookie James Camaione.
The NCGA’s win snapped a six-year NCPGA winning streak. The NCGA now leads in the overall Staedler-Jetter Cup series, 15-10-3.
“This was a great victory after a six-year drought,” said NCGA captain Gail Rogers. “It was a decisive win.”
