MASHPEE, Mass.—Twenty-eight Cape Cod PGA Professionals teed it up at The Club at New Seabury on Wednesday for the 2023 Chapter Championship.
In a new twist this year, the Chapter reintroduced an 18-hole Senior Championship division which allowed players ages 50 and over to compete for both titles. Greg Yeomans of The Bay Club at Mattapoisett took home the Cape Cod Senior Championship with a score of 2-under par 70 edging Alledale CC’s Bob Giusti by seven shots. This was the first time the Championship was contested since long time Cape Cod PGA Professional Mickey Herron won in 2010.
Yeoman’s opening round 70 found him also leading the Championship division, leading Jake Bosse (Sankaty Head) and Andrew Stolze (New Seabury) who sat at 1-under par and even par respectively. Also in contention after the first round were Jim Clay (New Seabury) and newcomer to the Chapter, Carter Cheek (Sankaty Head).
Playing in the lead group, Stolze followed up his consistent first round with another strong showing of 2-over 74 to claim the clubhouse lead at 2-over 146. For the tournament he carded 5 birdies and 30 pars to go along with seven bogeys.
Fellow New Seabury Professional Jim Clay made a surge up the leaderboard in the second-round shooting a round of 1-under 71 to finish at 3-over par in solo second place.Stolze’s total of 2-over held up to win the Championship after Yeomans and Bosse recorded rounds of 79 and 78 to finish in a tie for 3rd place. Rounding out the top five was Carter Cheek at 6-over par.
