Team of professional, Joel Kijowski , and amateur, Tyler Mays, took top honors in the 2011 Cleveland Golf/Srixon Pro-Scratch Invitational at Angel Park Golf Club, posting 62, 65 for a 127 total score. This tied them with the team of Tommy Medina and Garrett Iverson who were eventually bumped out of the winner’s circle when team Kijowski/Mays made birdie on the first playoff hole. For their efforts, Kijowski earned $1,450 in cash and Mays earned $750 in Angel Park gift certificates.

In the event more than 60, two-person teams comprised of one professional and one scratch amateur competed for a total prize purse of more than $17,000 in a 36-hole, stroke-play, one-better-ball format. The event, which is presented in part by Club Car, 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. This year the event drew some new notable participants including Las Vegas resident and former Major League Baseball star Greg Maddux and former PGA Tour Professional and current Texas resident, David Ogrin.

“This event is indicative of the game and the unique way it brings people together,” stated Gordon Digby, Account Manager for Cleveland/Golf Srixon. “It’s a fun-filled event where everyone is enjoying themselves, but they still manage to post some pretty impressive scores. We’re proud to be the title sponsor.” For more information on Cleveland Golf or Srixon visit www.clevelandgolf.com or www.srixon.com.

“Congratulations to Joel and Tyler.” said Phil Green, President of OB Sports Golf Management. “When they shot out of the gates and posted a 62, we thought, they’re going to run away with it, but in the end we had an exciting playoff to decide the champions. Thanks again to Cleveland Golf/Srixon , Club Car , Red Rock Resort / Casino , Grey Goose , Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada , Meadow Gold , Budweiser , Sysco , Miller Lite and others.”  

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 Dirk Ayers and Robert Schultz won the Derby by edging out the eventual two-ball champs Kijowski/Mays.
