Playing in multiple course championships certainly has earned a bundle of points for several players. On the other hand, it could also be a “changing of the guard” as new names have risen to the top of Cleveland Metroparks Golf Player of the Year points lists.
Anthony Briggs turned in a T2 at Manakiki, a T5 at Shawnee and a T10 at Sleepy Hollow to propel him into first place with 71 points.
Adam Frey combined a win at Sleepy Hollow and a T7 at Manakiki to place him currently in second with 64 points.
Colin Burns win at Manakiki pushed him into third with 60 points.
4 of the top 10 on the points list had multiple top ten finishes in the Course Championships.
On the senior side, Allen Freeman‘s victory in the Senior GCAC has put him out in front with 71 points, followed by Rob Schustrich and Monty Guest with 49.
The two POYs will be crowned on Sep 5th, as the final three CMG events to earn Player of the Year points are:
– Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship – Sleepy Hollow, August 8 & 9
– Individual Stableford – Seneca, August 15
– Bill Barbour Cup 2-M Jumble – Sleepy Hollow, September 5
