A pair of teams tied at the top in advance of Independence Day, but the day’s biggest winners holed a wedge shot for eagle-2 to scrape up the entire skins pot.
A whopping 126 players of all ages — including a couple of talented female competitors — took to the Rawiga Golf Club in Seville on Friday, July 3rd for the second annual NEOHgolf.com All-American 3-Player Scramble.
The temps pushed past a sizzling 90 degrees on a clear, sunny day with just a hint of breeze. But Rawiga’s greens were in fantastic condition, leading to low scores.
Allen Freeman, Ken Koprivec and Chris Okeson (above) went out early and posted a 16-under par score of 56 to set the marker.
For most of the day that score looked to be an outright winner, until the team of Kevin Miller, Mitch Levengood and Mike Weaver (below) went ballistic on the back nine at Rawiga, firing a 10-under par 26 on their final side to tie at -16.
In the end those two teams shared the victory, two shots ahead of the rest of the 42-team field.
Aaron Crewse, Mark Schneider and Brian Vincelette shot a solid 58 to finish in a two-way tie for third with a team that played late in the day, Jon Lieser, Scott McVey and Shayne Bishop.
Team Lieser put forth a spectacular back nine run of their own, shooting 9-under par 27 coming in.
But the shot of the day led to yet another complete sweep of a giant big skins pot, a phenomenon that has happened frequently in this 2020 season. Dax Bramwell holed a wedge shot from 70 yards out at the dogleg par-4 sixth hole to allow him to share the lucre with his teammates Eric Coven and Troy Tait.
Now that’s a great way to spend the day before July 4th: sweeping a big skins pot!
