Rutland, VT – A windy day was a big factor in this week’s Pro-Am at Rutland Country Club. The course was playing tough with some fast greens and thick rough. Kellen Peery fought through the tough conditions and posted a round of 74 4 – over par to win this week’s Individual Professional division. In the 2 BB of 4 (Gross + Net) team game, two very competitive teams are at the top of the leaderboard with rounds of 132 8-under par. Braedon Fox and his team from the Vermont Golf Association Nick Ojala, Max Major, and Sam Major had a putt on 18 to win but it did not fall. James LeClair and his team from Golf Garage VT Pat Norden, Pat Pelletier, and Robb Cramer posted the lead early being the third group out.
