A pair of players earned comeback victories in the 2019 Akron District Golf Association’s Golfer of the Year Tournament at Fairlawn Country Club on Sunday.
By a whopping five shots, North Canton’s Aaron Crewse shot the best score on Sunday in the Championship Division, overcoming a two-shot deficit at the start the day to win by three.

Round 1 leader Zach Drukenbrod finished in second place at 149, with Shaun Kloetzer nabbing third place at 150.

Playing the same blue tee setup as the Championship Division, Akron’s Rick Bryson bested Crewse’s score by one and won yet another ADGA GOY Senior Division title. Bryson posted a 70 in Sunday’s final round at Fairlawn.

With some solid ball striking and consistent putting, the 63-year old earned a two-shot victory over Stow’s David Trier, who finished alone in second place.
Larry Lahnan, Bill Downing and Allen Freeman tied for third place among the Senior players.
A big thank you to Tim Davis and Kristin Davis for setting up and running a fun final event of the ADGA season. The ADGA will be back in 2020 with a roster of tournament courses that should make for an exciting year…
