Omaha, NE – July 26. 2021 – Andrew Storm of Shadow Ridge CC in Omaha, NE, winner of the National Car Rental Nebraska Assistant PGA Professional Championship July 26, 2021 at Happy Hollow Club will compete Nov. 11-14, in the 45th National Car Rental Assistant PGA Professional Championship. The national Championship, supported by Srixon, Cleveland Golf, XXIO, Asics and John Deere will be held at PGA Golf Club, Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Storm found himself standing on No. 16 tee in his final round two shots back of the leader Jay Cottam, PGA of Awarii Dunes GC and one-shot back of second. After a beautiful drive down the middle, he had 230 yards in on the par 5 when he put it to 8 feet setting himself up for an eagle putt which he made. With Cottam making birdie, he was still one-back two holes later on No. 18. After Cottam made bogey, Storm saved par and tied Cottam after 36-holes at 2-under-par before he went onto win after just one playoff hole to capture the 2021 National Car Rental Nebraska Section Assistant PGA Professional Championship.

Both Storm and Cottam will represent the Nebraska Section PGA down in Port St. Lucie, Florida at the PGA Golf Club later this November.

The National Car Rental Assistant PGA Professional Championship brings together a field of 132 contestants representing the PGA of America’s 41 nationwide Sections and features a total purse of $150,000. All rounds will be played on the Wanamaker Course. A cut after 36 holes of play to the low 70 scorers and ties will be made.

Begun in 1977, the National Car Rental Assistant PGA Professional Championship is modeled after the PGA Professional Championship, with a field of PGA Professionals and PGA Associates who advanced through 41 Section Championships conducted from May through October this year.
