It has been another busy week of Wisconsin PGA tournaments. We take a look back to Tuesday and the return of our Assistant Professional Fall Classic.
The event was back on the WPGA calendar of events for the first time since 2015. With the influx of new PGA associates the event was certainly primed for a comeback.
Thirty-Seven Wisconsin PGA A-8 members and associates were in the field on Tuesday at Brown Deer Park GC. It marked the final individual assistant event of the season and for most of the players the last opportunity to grab some assistant player of the year points.
Heading out early in the tee time wave and setting the pace was Eau Claire Golf & Country Club’s Cole Jahnke. The Stillwater, Minnesota native would card a 2-under-par 69. His round was highlighted by avoiding the big number and birdieing three of the gettable par 5s at Brown Deer Park GC. The former UW-Eau Claire player would make four birdies and two bogeys on the way to the win.
Jahnke is in his second season as a PGA associate at Eau Claire Golf & Country Club after finishing up an impressive Division three golfing career. During his time at UW-Eau Claire he was recognized as a third team All-American once and honorable mention All-American twice.
Finishing in a tie for second place just one-shot back was David Bach and Wyatt Wilderman.
The WPGA would like to thank Milwaukee County Parks Golf and Brown Deer Park GC for playing host to the event.
