Duel In The Delta

​

On a picturesque day in Brentwood, Jason Kremin emerged victorious in a thrilling duel against newcomer Gerald Cabrera, securing his first title. Kremin and Cabrera engaged in a fierce competition, matching each other shot for shot on the front-9 and both posting impressive scores of 49. However, it was Kremin's exceptional 16-foot par putt on the 18th green that ultimately sealed his win.

​

Despite initial concerns about his new HEAVY PUTTER, Kremin's performance on Sunday put any doubts to rest. After finishing in second place three times last year, Kremin was finally able to hoist the championship cup, a well-deserved victory. Special thanks were extended to Joe Meeks for suggesting and arranging the Championship Glasses, which are highly coveted and known for their exquisite design, with the possibility of having names etched into them.

​

John Nunes, who was unable to participate in the tournament, called in at the turn and listened in on the trophy ceremony via phone. Good-natured banter ensued among the participants about Nunes' absence, with playful suggestions that the outcome might have been different had he been able to play, capturing the camaraderie and spirit of the competition.

​

Gerald Cabrera, in his impressive debut, showcased his skills and came tantalizingly close to sharing the title with Kremin, narrowly missing out due to Kremin's clutch putt on the 18th hole. Cabrera's performance raised the level of competition, adding to the excitement of future tournaments, and he is eagerly anticipated to participate in upcoming events.

​

Joe Meeks showcased remarkable driving skills with his new Callaway driver, hitting several shots exceeding 300 yards. Meeks also led the field with three pars on holes 1, 3, and 6, narrowly missing out on the back-9.

​

Steve Jacobson, a former champion, displayed consistent play with scores of 52 and 55, securing a respectable fourth place finish. It is clear that Jacobson remains a formidable competitor and is expected to contend for the title again in the near future.

​

After a shaky start with a score of 58, Mike Hubner regained his form and posted an impressive 50 on the back-9. Unfortunately, his bid for a share of the back-9 prize fell short on the 18th green, but his skills and determination are evident, and he is sure to make a strong comeback in future tournaments.

​

Robert Holmes, known as "The Big Easy," exhibited exceptional putting skills with a total of 36 putts, including four 1-putts. However, frequent visits to the fairway and green-side bunkers, along with some struggles with short iron play, hindered his overall performance. If Holmes can improve his short iron play and avoid hazards, he could be a serious contender in future tournaments.

​

Defending GBC Champion, Rob Pierce, had a challenging day, posting a disappointing score of 113. Last year, Pierce won the event with a score of 97, which would have been sufficient to win this year as well. Despite this setback, Pierce's skills are undeniable, and he is expected to be a strong contender in the next tournament, showcasing the competitive nature of the event.
