PGA, SNGA Tie In Annual Vegas Cup Match

It’s an annual tradition between the Southern Nevada Chapter, PGA, and the Southern Nevada Golf Association, to play the Vegas Cup. This year, the event ended in a 6-6 tie after the PGA jumped out to a big lead after the first round. The tie allowed the SNGA to retain the cup.

“You have to give the SNGA team a ton of credit,” said Pat Kreger, Executive Director, Southern Nevada Chapter PGA, Southwest Section. “Being down 4-0 after the Day 1 team matches, regrouping, and then coming out strong on Day 2 to take 6 of the 8 individual matches. We were very fortunate to have great weather this year, and the course, as it always is at Las Vegas Country Club, was in great condition. It was a treat for all the players. It’s always good when both of our organizations can get together, great camaraderie between our members. We would like to thank Mike Newman, Andrew Bogan, Justin Thomas, Jennifer Dodd, Jason Edmiston and the entire team at The Las Vegas Country Club for once again serving as the host site for this year’s matches. And a special thank you goes out to Tim Brand of the SNGA for organizing this year’s event.”
