The team of professional, Jon Taruc and amateur, Michael Wynn, took top honors in the 2010 Cleveland Golf Pro-Scratch at Angel Park Golf Club, posting two rounds of 63 to edge out Jake Ellison and John Busby by a stroke. Their final score 126 was the second lowest total score in recent tournament history. For their efforts, Taruc earned $1,450 in cash and Wynn earned $750 in Angel Park gift certificates.

“I swear Michael is the best amateur in Las Vegas,” stated Taruc. “But we both played great each round. We made seven birdies the first day and eight birdies the second day without a bogey on either day. We knew things were going well when I missed the green on the 447 yard 1st hole (our 16th hole)…but then I took out my Cleveland wedge and chipped in for birdie to keep our momentum going,” added Taruc.

The 2010 Cleveland Golf Pro-Scratch is a two-person better ball with each team comprised of one professional and one “scratch” amateur competing for a total prize purse of more than $17,000. The event draws teams of golf professionals and amateurs from all over the country, as teams travel from California, Arizona, Washington and as far away as Hawaii and Florida to compete. Notable local pros such as Robert Gamez, Jeremy Anderson and Ed Fryatt have also played in the past.

“We were pleased to once again support this great event,” stated Tim Shaver, Territory Manager for Cleveland Golf Srixon. It is one we look forward to every year and has turned into one of the most popular two player events in Southern Nevada.” The event title sponsor is Cleveland Golf Srixon.

“Congratulations to Jon and Michael and thank you to Angel Park’s tournament staff for putting on another outstanding event.” said Phil Green, President of OB Sports Golf Management.  “The event certainly wouldn’t be the event it is without such great support from our sponsors including Cleveland Golf Srixon, Club Car, The Bellagio, Grey Goose, and Southern Wine and Spirits. Thank you all for your continued support and partnership.”

Following the first round of play, the “Cloud Nine Derby Shoot” kicked-off.  The field is limited to the top 15 teams that prepaid at registration prior to the first round. This fun-filled “event within the event” is part of local lore as the 1996 Cloud Nine Derby featured an exciting hole-in-one by local touring professional Robert Gamez on the first hole. This year the team of Travis Long and Brian Harrington won the “Derby” by edging out the team of Dirk Ayers and Robert Schultz.
