Way to represent Gentlemen!!! Michael W Crowley near the top of the leaderboard!
Mother Nature delivered us a great fall day for the final Wisconsin PGA event of the season on Monday. A late addition to the WPGA tournament calendar, the Fall Pro-Pro Bonus Better Ball brought together 24 twosomes to enjoy the day. Monday's event took place on the Ponds and Woods course at Kettle Hills Golf Course.
Earning the win in the main contest was David Roesch and Austin Gaugert. The duo went bogey free on the way to a 7-under-par 65. The score was good enough to hold off a late charge from Keith Buntrock and Andy Hansen.
In the four-player bonus game it'd be Mitch Steiner, Rollin Petersen, Josh Grisa and David Bach finding the top spot. The two team scores combined would total 7-under-par 137.
The WPGA would like to thank Kettle Hills and their staff for being a great host site.

On Monday the WPGA tournament schedule visited Rivermoor Golf Club for the annual Fall Pro-Pro Scramble. With storms rolling through Wisconsin, the WPGA found itself in just the right spot on the map. Although the last few hours of the event was played through light rain, the event was able to be completed without delay.
Taking home this year's title was the duo of Michael Crowley and Austin Gaugert. The twosome carded a top-notch 12-under-par 58. The score was good enough to win by two shots over Max Hosking and John Bailey. Their scorecard featured 10 birdies, 1 eagle and no bogeys.
Helping enhance and support the day was Sterling Cut Glass, Antigua, Earth Networks, & Evolve Golf. The WPGA would like thank all four companies for their contributions, and Rivermoor GC for being a gracious host.

In a slight shift of plans, due to the rainfall the last few days the match has been moved to Erin Hills Golf Course. It will now start at around 1:30.
Congratulations to Kurt Mantyla, he is the 2021 WPGA Senior Match Play Champion. Kurt defeated Eddie Terasa in 19 holes at Blue Mound G&CC today.
Mantyla started off hot as he'd birdie three of the first seven holes. His play would help him to a 3up lead thru the first eleven holes of play. However Terasa ate into the lead as "Steady Eddie" kept hitting greens in regulation. Eventually he was able to even up the match with a 30-foot birdie putt on no. 17.
The North Hills CC head PGA professional also had a chance to end it on no. 18 but his birdie putt would not drop.
The extra life line was all that Mantyla needed as both players would find themselves over the 1st green in two. A great chip to within a foot would deliver Mantyla his par and the win.
