November 2022
Huge congratulations to Todd Clements who secured his European Tour card via the Challenge Tour. A win at the Irish Challenge in July amongst many other stellar performances was enough to secure his card. Brilliant to see and can't wait to witness what happens next year!
University of Louisiana Monroe continued to impress this time capturing the The Judson at Hattiesburg Country Club. A scintillating final round of -7 for the team sealed the victory. We spoke with head coach @pollock496 on that victory and how they're using Clippd. Go Warhawks!
October 2022
A tip of the hat to @hiroshi.tai who won the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate. An exceptional opening round of 65 was then backed up by two rounds of 69, enough to secure the win for the Georgia Tech Freshman by one shot. Superb golf Hiroshi, look forward to seeing more wins coming in!
Kipp Popert produced another exceptional display at the Andalucia Masters on the G4D Tour. A final score of -5 sealed the victory by five shots and included a hole-in-one on the Par 3 6th hole resulting in a 200 shot and entry into Clippds 200 Club! @kipp_popert now has 4 wins this year and never finished outside the top 4! Incredible π€―!
At the historic Baltusrol Golf Club just outside New York, the Florida State Womens Team finished 2nd in the Ivy Intercollegiate stroke play. They then won all five of their matchplay matches helping the ACC defeat the Ivy League 20.5 -9.5. Lottie Woad took home the individual title with rounds of 72 and 69 whilst @charlotte.heath also produced a hole-in-one on the 10th hole before going on to win her match 4up. Go Seminoles!
University of Minnesota Mens finished in 2nd place at the Alister Mackenzie Invitational at Sonoma Country Club in California. A particularly strong performance from Antoine Sale who finished on -8 after rounds of 67, 70 and 71 to secure a T3 finish. ππππ
Wake Forest Womens Team had another fantastic week, this time at the Stephens Cup at the famed Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida. Entering the Championship match as top seed, they played the national No. 1 ranked Stanford team. Unfortunately Wake Forest, ranked 2nd nationally, succumbed 4-1. However it was another incredibly strong performance by the team! Keep pushing Deacs!
Also in the Stephens Cup, @rachel.kuehn earned her fifth career college title! Rounds of 67, 69 and 70 left her at -10 for the tournament resulting in a 2-shot cushion from 2nd place. Carolina Chacarra also had a fantastic tournament, a total of 211 left her at -5 and cemented a T3 finish. Sublime golf both!!
It was a stellar performance from the University Louisiana Monroe Womens Team this time at the Lady Red Wolves Classic. The team finished two shots back in third place on +1 for the the tournament whilst there was great play from freshman Anna Andrysova. A -3 final score was enough to see her secure a T4 finish meaning it's three top 10's in three appearances to start her college career. Looking forward to seeing more success!
Huge congratulations to the Wake Forest Women's Team for going back to back, winning both the Annika Intercollegiate and the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate. What a marker to put down for the season!
Next up, @hilleardjosh claimed his second EuroPro Tour title title of the season with victory at the Wright-Morgan Championship at Clevedon. After a blistering opening round of 62 (which included no less than seven shots of 170 more for Shot Quality), Josh produced rounds of 67 and 72. It was good enough to put him into a playoff, which he won at the first extra hole! Great work Josh!
Florida State Womens Team captured their first victory of the year in only their second tournament, the Schooner Fall Classic in Oklahoma. The victory was off the back of a fine T4 finish at the previous event, the Cougar Classic. A brilliant start to the year for everyone involved β @amy.bond, @charlotte.heath and the rest of the team!
The G4D BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth saw England's @kipp_popert secure his third title of the year after rounds of 72 and 69 left him two shots of his nearest competitor. Kipp now sits 2nd in the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability and it's surely only a matter of time before he's top!
Georgia Tech Mens team member @hiroshi.tai took home the individual title at the Maui Jim Intercollegiate. Two rounds of 68 backed up by a 66 put the Yellow Jackets freshman into a playoff which he duly won after birdieing the opening hole. π π π Hiroshi!
At the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate at Squire Creek Country Club the University of Louisiana Monroe Mens Team set a new program record score of 25-under par to finish 3rd. Two of the team finished inside the Top-10, Otto Van Buynder at -9 for third place and Theis Poulsentied for 7th at -8. Go Warhawks!
@michaelbullengolf had a brilliant week at Paultons Golf Centre at the PGA Southern Open Championship. A scintillating opening round of 62 was backed up by a 65 which left him two shots clear of second place. Love to see it!
Finally and most recently @christo.lamprecht, also of the Georgia Tech Mens Team, captured his first collegiate tournament victory at the Inverness Intercollegiate. Opening rounds of 67 put Christo in a great position to win and he sealed the deal with a final round 72. Super stuff Christo, here's to many more!
