Omaha, NE – The Players Club at Deer Creek – Omaha played host to our biggest field of the year by welcoming 31 teams and 124 players from across our Section. Each Nebraska PGA Professional teamed up with three amateurs and they competed in a lone ranger format. Each hole, one player was the lone ranger and their score counted to go along with the best of the three other balls creating a team score.

The team event was captured by Justin Herron, PGA of Oak Hills Country Club and his amateur partners Kris Abrahamson, Jacob Pole and Josh Livingston. Their team shot a total score of 12-under par in the 18-hole event which was five shots better than second place. Tying for second place were the teams led by Jared Frost, PGA of Miracle Hill Golf & Tennis Center and Ryan Vermeer, PGA of Happy Hollow Club.

In the Professional-only event, players competed against one another playing their own ball and several impressive scores were posted highlighted by Justin Herron, PGA. Herron finished at 5-under-par (66) after carding six birdies with his lone bogey coming on the first hole. In his best finish of the season, Brad Bailey, PGA of Champions Run Omaha finished at 4-under-par (67) thanks to a hot finish with four consecutive birdies on 13, 14, 15 and 16. Finishing in third was Ryan Vermeer, PGA of Happy Hollow Club after a solid 3-under-par day (68). Vermeer comes off a trip to Tulsa, OK where he competed in the 2022 PGA Championship.

The impressive scores across the board from our Nebraska PGA Professionals could be an exciting look-ahead to our 2022 Nebraska PGA Professional Championship which will be hosted here at The Players Club.
