October 24, 2012 Round Summary – 2012 Surgeon’s Cup Final Round

The 2012 season is over and the Cup is “back where it belongs” according the Fall Cup winner, Sammy Jackson! And in putting it there, he scored the best single and best two rounds in Surgeon’s Cup recorded history. With a -17 in round one and a -13 in round two, his combined -30 is two strokes better than his previous records of -15 (shared with MaT) and -28 respectively.

If you will recall, he came into the fall Cup touting his threatening “Fear the B” marketing campaign and stating that “records will be broken!” While not going so far as to say “who” would break those records, he did indeed, make that prediction. And he did indeed, break them himself!

With the double points format in place for both Cup rounds, Sammy also finished out the season with the League Points title. Double congratulations to Sammy.

Wayne finished in second by throwing his best round of the season (-13) and finishing at -24 for the tournament.

Brad, who was tied with Wayne coming into the round, fell two strokes back by the turn and gave up two more when Wayne hit an eagle on ten. Brad was able to get one back on thirteen but returned the favor on the final hole and finished the tournament at -20.

MaT and Robby, battling for fourth, were within a stroke of each other until Robby, on the lofty and forgiving Hole 17, went for the hole on a long approach shot and ended up with a bogey. MaT finished the tournament at -13 to Robby’s -10.

Dean finished out with a seven over on the round to end the tournament at +8.
This round’s anonymous sound bite was, “If iT’s noT for firsT place iT doesn’T maTTer.”

Hope everyone has a nice, warm and comfortable winter!
