On a gorgeous but windy pre-Labor Day Friday, Aaron Crewse of North Canton posted 1-under par 71 at Raintree Golf Center in Green to win the 2020 NEOH.GOLF Championship by one shot.
Since Crewse is a NOGA GHIN member of the NEOH.GOLF Club, his victory has earned him a spot to compete in the Northern Ohio Golf Association’s Tournament of Champions at The Country Club in Pepper Pike on Tuesday, Sep 22nd.
Crewse turned in even par 36, then made a string of pars until back-to-back birdies: at the par-5 15th; then a skin-winner at the par-3 16th. He made bogey at the last for a back nine 35.
Lou Boarman and Jim Cea finished in a tie for second place, one shot behind at even par 72, both shooting identical 37-35 nines. Cea made double-bogey six at the ninth, but bounced back with birdies at 10 and 13 before a costly bogey at 17. Boarman had a consistent day, making two birdies against two bogeys and 14 pars.
With the windy conditions, a whopping eight skins were won on the day — all with birdies — with Danny Marr the only player to win two skins.
Thanks to Patty Gaston at Raintree Golf & Events Center for their hospitality, and thank you to all of the players who competed!
