Exciting Finish!
The PGA Junior Tour Mid-Summer Classic held at Otter Creek Golf Course came down to a scintillating finish in the 16-18 year old Boys Division. After two days of spirited play (including a tournament low 66 recorded by Ben Bermel) ... Tyler Vaske and Ben Bermel were tied atop the standings. On the 2nd hole of a sudden death playoff ... Tyler Vaske hit a brilliant chip from just off the green to within 2 inches for a tap-in birdie ... only to be bested by Ben Bermel's 7-foot eagle putt after his stellar fairway wood covered the flag.

Congrats to Champion Ben Bermel and thanks to both for superior play and a most entertaining finish to the Classic.
