ITS RECAP TIME!
BENT CREEK BRAWL
Saturday’s event at Bent Creek was anything but routine. What began as a competitive round quickly turned into a true test of patience and resilience, as a three-hour rain delay brought play to a halt. But in a showing that defines the spirit of this tour, all 38 players stayed, waited it out, and returned to finish what they started. Through changing conditions and a long day on the course, the field proved that this was more than just a tournament—it was a display of commitment, grit, and love for the game.
Let’s get into how it all unfolded.
Champ Flight: Jack Rodish (74)
Jack wasted no time getting things started, opening his round with a birdie on the par-5 1st hole. He carried that momentum throughout the front nine, adding two more birdies to build a four-shot lead over Eddie Roberts heading into the back.
The closing stretch brought a bit of drama, as a 7 on the par-4 17th briefly tightened things up. But Jack responded in style, finishing with an emphatic birdie on the 18th to put the tournament out of reach.
A strong performance from start to finish—well done, Jack.
Albatross Flight: Dustin Brack (74)
The Albatross Flight delivered a similar story, with another impressive winning score of 74. For Dustin Brack, it marked a personal best in competition—an outstanding achievement.
Like Jack, Dustin came out strong, carding three birdies on the front nine to build a commanding lead. By the turn, he had stretched his advantage to six strokes over Dan Passen and was firmly in control.
Travis Helms made a push on the back nine, but despite a few bumps—including a 7 on the par-4 11th—Dustin maintained his composure and kept the field at bay.
In the end, Dustin secured a convincing ten-stroke victory in dominant fashion. An impressive round and a milestone performance—well done, Dustin!
Eagle Flight: Scott Lee (84)
In stark contrast to the other flights, the Eagle Flight was a tight competition from start to finish. Scott Lee found himself tied for the lead with his good friend Jason Sparks through the front nine, with neither player able to create much separation in a deep, 10-player field.
As the round turned to the back nine, the pressure remained high. A clutch birdie on the challenging 10th hole proved to be the turning point, giving Scott the momentum he needed to finally create some space.
From there, he stayed steady down the stretch, pulling away to secure a three-stroke victory. The win marks Scott’s second in a row (different flights), continuing his strong run through the “West Side Swing.”
Well played, Scott!
Birdie Flight: Craig Mullins (90)
The Birdie Flight belonged to a first-timer who simply didn’t make mistakes. Craig Mullins put together a smooth, controlled round, doing exactly what the course demanded.
By keeping big numbers off the card and staying steady throughout, Craig quickly separated himself from the field. When the dust settled, his round of 90 was good for a commanding nine-stroke victory.
An impressive debut performance—well done, Craig!
Par Flight: Pat LaPage (92)
Another back-to-back winner emerged in the Par Flight, as Pat LaPage once again found his way to the top of the leaderboard.
Trailing Greg Den Boef by four strokes heading into the back nine, Pat had his back against the wall—but he was ready for the challenge. With a steady inward nine of 44, he chipped away at the lead while others began to slip.
In a tight finish, Pat edged out his buddy Jim Davis to secure a one-stroke victory and continue his impressive run.
Well done, Pat!
