This year’s chase for Cleveland Metroparks Golf Player of the Year honors is looking like a two person race between Brian Polick (left) and Steve Blackburn Jr.
Polick still maintains his lead. But that lead has shrunk to 10 points over Blackburn Jr., who finished runner-up at the 2019 Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship at Manakiki.
With only three events remaining, Polick leads with 131 points followed by Blackburn Jr. with at 121. The next closest players are Jack Garswood with 84 points and Jason Jendre with 82.
The Senior POY points remain unchanged after the Cleveland Am.
The final three POY point events of the year are:
– Seneca Stableford, Saturday, Aug 17, 2019 at Seneca
– Bill Barbour Cup, Sunday, September 8 at Sleepy Hollow (2-Player 6/6/6)
– Big Met 2-Player Scramble, Saturday, September 21 at Big Met
