CONGRATULATIONS!

PGA Associate TALON KRIEBEL of Mt. Pleasant, PA, and Glengarry Golf Links is our 2023 Rolex Match Play Champion.

What a performance by Talon through the bracket as he faced two 3-time champions on a challenging road to the crown.

The Championship Final between 3-time match play champion Kevin Shields and Talon Kriebel was dramatic. Shields rallied on 17 and 18, with Birdie/Birdie and Talon closed it out on the first playoff hole.

CONGRATULATIONS!

PGA Professional TOM BEELER of McKeesport, PA, and Youghiogheny Country Club is the Match Play Champion in our Cleveland Golf/Srixon Division.

Thank you to Matthew Notdurft and Johan Smit for their commitment to this division and partnership with the section.
