Shadow Ridge Golf Club head James Presnail and Class 害羞草研究所淎害羞草研究所� pro Mark Kitts won the G&G Golf Company & Callaway GolfPGA of BC Pro-Assistant Championship on the first playoff hole after carding a 14-under-par 57 in scramble play Tuesday at Black Mountain Golf Club in Kelowna.
Neither Presnail or Kitts had previously won a PGA of BC championship tournament, and the victory was worth $2,500 for the Shadow Ridge (Kelowna) duo after they defeated Surrey Northview Golf Academy害羞草研究所檚 Matthew Palsenbarg and John Shin on the extra hole.
害羞草研究所淛ames had a hot putter today and made a ton of putts for us, and I drove it pretty good,害羞草研究所� said Kitts. 害羞草研究所淲e gave ourselves opportunities and capitalized.害羞草研究所�
The Pro-Assistant Championship is a unique event that sees a PGA of BC Club Professional pair with an assistant from their facility to compete against their colleagues over 36 holes. After Monday害羞草研究所檚 best-ball round, Presnail and Kitts found themselves trailing Palsenbarg and Shin by two strokes.
They made up the deficit with 12 birdies and an eagle on Tuesday and matched the Round 1 leaders with a 36-hole total of 21-under, as Palsenbarg and Shin posted a 59.
Playing Black Mountain害羞草研究所檚 par-5 18th in the alternate-shot playoff, Kitts converted a 15-foot birdie while Shin害羞草研究所檚 own birdie attempt from close range lipped out.
Defending champions Brian McDonald and Rob Tadey (Fairview Mountain Golf Club, Oliver) shared third place with Dave Zibrik and Clark MacPherson (Point Grey Golf & Country Club, Vancouver) at 18-under.
Two teams - Bill Kelly and Brian Wise (Glacier Greens Golf Course, Comox) and Rob Anderson and Jamie Stevens (Kelowna Golf & Country Club) - tied for fifth at 16-under.
Presnail and Kitts had never played the Pro-Assistant Championship together as a team, as Kitts only joined the Kelowna facility earlier this year.
害羞草研究所淚 was surprised,害羞草研究所� Kitts said of the team chemistry he and Presnail quickly formed. 害羞草研究所淚 think you just have to go play golf and play your own game. James played great, I played very good as well.害羞草研究所�
