Fleming 4-Peat at Assistants’ Championship
06 July, 2021
Today saw Round 2 of the Assistants’ Championship sponsored by Cobra Puma Golf at the idyllic Sirocco GC. The course continued to be in fantastic shape and we had a very tight day at the top of the Leaderboard with a major seesaw battle to place in our Top 10. Our defending Champion Riley Fleming and Grant Numrich found themselves all square at 9-under par after 36 holes so a sudden death playoff ensued which started on hole #1.
After a tough battle all day, some serious grinding and aforementioned playoff, our 4X defending Champion is: Mr. Riley Fleming (Lynx Ridge GC) who battled all day to maintain his lead and managed to bring it back from sitting 2-strokes down on our Leaders at one point today. Riley had 1 Eagle and 3 birdies on the card today and made an extremely timely Birdie on the 17th hole. Riley managed to 2-putt from just off the green on the first playoff hole to be victorious with a par.
In sole possession of 2nd is: Grant Numrich (Red Deer G&CC) who carded an unreal 7-under par 65 today and was battling at the top of our Leaderboard all day. Grant had an excellent 7 Birdies on the card today and forced a playoff. Grant finished the tournament with a 2-day total of -9.
In sole possession of 3rd is: Wes Heffernan (Dynamic Motion Golf Performance Centre) who carded an excellent 5-under par 67 today with 1 Eagle and 4 Birdies on the card. Wes finished the tournament with a 2-day total of -8.
