Wes Stafford (Stonewater Golf Club) and Ryan Dorff (Avon Oaks Country Club) tied with Jeff Meagrow (Canterbury Golf Club) and John Bernatovicz (Westfield Country Club) in the 2022 season-opening event of the NOGA Great Lakes Auto Scratch Series at Barrington Country Club in Aurora.
Stafford and Dorff were in the clubhouse at 7-under par 65 and looked to be the winners, mostly due to the fact that Dorff was 6-under par on his own ball on Barrington’s four par-5 holes, making two eagles and two birdies.
“Fortunately we played better ball, because we had some bogeys,” Dorff said. “But we rolled in quite a few birdies and a couple of eagles.”
Meagrow and Bernatovicz were 1-over par after their first three holes, but Bernatovicz started making putts to turn the tide.
“John putted really well today,” Meagrow said. “He probably made 150 feet of putts so that really got us going after being 1-over through three.”
At the final hole, Bernatovicz pitched in for birdie to reach 7-under par and tie their team for the win.
In the Senior Division, Dean Cutlip (Firestone Country Club) and David Trier (Silver Lake Country Club) shot a 7-under round of 65 to win by one shot over Doug Rockich (Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links) and Rob Schustrich (Trumbull Country Club).
“Dave made a lot of putts,” Cutlip said. “He putted really well. Both of us hit the ball really well and Dave made the putts.”
The next Great Lakes Auto Scratch Series event is the Interclub Team Championship at the Inverness Club on Monday, May 23.
