Ryan Stefanski of Brecksville, OH won the Lake Erie Golf Tour tournament played at Tam O’ Shanter Golf Course in Canton today.
Stefanski turned at 2-under par then finished strong, making birdies on three of his last four holes to finish at 4-under par 66, good for a three shot victory over Vaughn Snyder and Blake Sattler.
But the big story of the day took place in the Amateur Division, as Matt Heestand of Parma played flawlessly as well — also firing a 4-under par 66 and also winning by three shots — but his round included a HOLE-IN-ONE on the par-3 14th hole!
The Lake Erie Golf Tour has a season-long sponsorship deal with the National Hole In One Association, so Heestand’s ace earns him a cool $5,000 cash prize!
The next event on the Lake Erie Golf Tour schedule is at Hawthorne Valley Country Club in Solon on Wednesday, July 6th.
