Country Club of the North Results

At Country Club of the North, we had 40 golfers come to play in our 14th event of the year which was the Ohio Stableford Championship.  We played in hot conditions and the scores were even hotter.  3 players had 5 birdies, or more and more than 10 players shot 80 or better on a difficult layout.   

In Division 1 Evan Brouwer was the lone participant but still put up an impressive 2 over par 74 with 5 birdies.  Evan started a little shaky being 4 over par through 4 holes then proceeded to play the next 14 holes 2 under.  Evan’s 74 (39,35) was extremely impressive for his first tournament with the APT.     

In Division 2 Matt Beeman lit up the course posting an incredible 7 birdies.  Matt started strong birdieing the 1st and 3rd hole and then combated a double bogey with two more birdies at 7 and 8.  After an opening 35 Matt would have 3 more birdies on the back along with 4 bogeys to shoot 37 and an even par 72 (54 points).  This was Matt’s first victory with the Amateur Players Tour.  General Fernbach would also post an impressive 6 birdies.  With 3 on the front General went out in 36.  After a double bogey on 13 General birdied 15 and 16 to get back to even.  General would then come in with 39 on the back for 75 (51 points) and 2nd place.  Travis Souders would shoot 77 for 49 points to post 3rd place.
