Many points were earned at the four Course Championships and the Senior Greater Cleveland Am during the last two weeks, but there was no change at the top of the 2017 Cleveland Metroparks Golf Player of the Year points lists.
Jason Jendre still leads the main division with 138 points after a top-ten finish at the Sleepy Hollow Course Championship.
The big points earner over these events was Jack Garswood, as a T3 finish at Shawnee, followed by a 6th place finish at Big Met vaulted him from fifth place to second. Garswood trails Jendre by 37 points.
Steve Blackburn Jr., who led the points race for most of last year, now sits in third place alone with 81 points.
On the Senior Division side, Andrew Jendre continues to lead with 94 points. His top-ten finish at Sleepy Hollow earned him 29 points. Allen Freeman finished tied for second place at the Senior GCAC to climb into second place with 79 points.
Big points await the top finishers at the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship at Manakiki on August 11, 12 and 13…
