BANFF, Alta.—Team Black showed its strength, battling through heavy rain and cool conditions for a commanding victory over Team Red in the second annual PLYR Wildrose Showdown presented by 365 Golf and E-Z-GO on Monday in the mountains.

The Black squad celebrated a 26 to 22 victory over Team Red in the Ryder Cup format that saw 68 PGA of Canada golf professionals from throughout Alberta square off on the 6,389-yard Banff Springs Golf Course rolled out alongside the scenic Bow River at the foot of Mount Rundle. Each team, featuring a mix of 34 men and women, played best ball on the front 9 and a scramble format on the back side.

Both squads put points on the board until Team Black came storming back late in the competition, winning six of the final eight matches to secure the trophy.

It was the second year for the Banff season kick-off event – an initiative created to provide more competitive opportunities in a fun and welcoming environment for all players.

“The team event is so important because it gets everybody out and having fun,” said Josh Fleming, 365 Golf and chair of the PGA of Alberta Tournament Committee. “You get to meet some of the new golf professionals, make nice with some of the old golf professionals in the field and just catch up with everybody after a long winter off.”
