Ashland, NE. – Quarry Oaks Golf Club hosted the 2020 Nebraska PGA Cup Series Championship and our NEPGA Professionals were blessed with beautiful weather and perfect scoring conditions. Presented by Vinnie Krikac’s State Farm Insurance Agency, the season-long event awarded Nebraska PGA Professionals for participation in events where the top-28 in the points standings competed today. Between the top-28 point leaders, players were paired up for today’s NEPGA Cup Series Championship based on their season scoring average. 14 teams then played 18-holes with nine being a best-ball format followed by the last nine being a scramble-format. Following that, the top five scores and ties advanced to the afternoon modified alternate-shot shootout where a champion would be crowned.

After the opening 18-holes, eight teams advanced to the shootout due to a four-way tie at 3-under-par for the final spot. After firing a team score of 65 (6-under-par), Brad Bailey, PGA of Champions Run and Andrew Storm of Shadow Ridge Country Club survived the shootout and captured our 2020 Nebraska PGA Cup Series Championship. In their opening round, the duo took advantage of the par 5 holes and birdied all three in route to their 65 which qualified for the championship shootout. In a format that eliminated teams each hole, Storm and Bailey capped off their day in exciting fashion. After Bailey found the green in regulation, Storm rolled in a 30-footer for birdie to win the championship over Justin Herron and Greg Gilg, PGA. In addition, Bailey becomes the first NEPGA Professional to win the NEPGA Cup Series Championship in back-to-back years.

The season-long event and today’s NEPGA Cup Series Championship wouldn’t have been possible without our presenting sponsor Vinnie Krikac’s State Farm Insurance Agency and we are so thankful for this partnership. We would also like to thank today’s supporting sponsor EZGO/Miller & Sons Golf Cars as well as Director of Golf Joe Sutter, PGA and the entire staff at Quarry Oaks GC for hosting!
