The highlight of the tournament came from the 18th hole where Hovis fired an albatross from 200 yards followed by Sierra hitting an eight iron to a couple feet and stroking in the eagle putt. The Brooks’ finished day two at 67 (-5) for a 134 (-10) total and three stroke win! Despite finishing strong with a round two 67 the team of Hovis/Egozi captured second place at 137 (-7). Rounding out the top three was Daniel and Jennifer Udd, of Naples, at 143 (-1).

It is the responsibility of any player that maintains a Handicap Index lower than their current Florida GHIN Handicap Index to inform the FSGA for resolution. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

Breaking Ties

Championship Division - The overall Champion will be the team with the lowest total score. In the event of a tie for first place, there will be a hole-by-hole sudden death play-off on a hole designated by the Committee to determine the Champion. All other ties will be broken by a modified the USGA score card match.

Forward Division - All ties in each flight of the Forward Division will be broken by the modified USGA score card match. The last 9 holes will be considered holes 10-18, the last 6 holes will be holes 13-18, the last 3 holes will be holes 16-18 and the last hole will be hole 18. In the case that players are still tied after the 18th hole, the winner will be determined by lot.

Forward Division will pay gross first, then net.

Defending Champions

After opening with an even par round of 72, Kevin Hammer and Meghan Stasi found themselves two strokes off the lead heading into the final round. Sunday's final round saw two teams run away from the rest oft he field. The team of Jimmy Jones Sr. and Terese Romeo came out of the gate looking to claim their second Summer Mixed Championship. Terese and Jimmy won the 2014 Championship at Black Diamond Ranch and were focused on bringing home another victory. With a combined six birdies in the final round, the two posted an impressive tournament total of 7 under-par, 137. However, their six birdies in the final round proved to be one birdie short of forcing a play-off with the team of Hammer and Stasi. Kevin and Meghan made eight birdies on Sunday en route to an 8 under-par, 64 (8 under-par, 136 total), which was enough for a one stroke victory over Jones and Romeo.
