Cobra PUMA Individual Classic and Pro-Am
The first individual competition of the season was held at the Continental Golf Club (St-Laurent Course), on June 19 during the 2024 Cobra PUMA Individual and Pro-Am Classic.
Last year, James Collin Davis of Windmill Heights Golf & Country Club shot 67 at Triangle d'Or Golf Club to win professionally. In addition, Gregg Cuthill and Walter Robert had won the pro-am in a 2 ball best ball net.
The big winner of the 2024 edition is William Blanchard (Rosemère Fontainebleau) with a score of 67 (-5). He earned his first victory on the PGA of Québec tour.
"It was a bogey-free game and a great day with my playing partners. On the 15th hole, I hit a "perfect" tee shot and then realized that my ball was in the water hazard. My 4-iron shot to 2 feet from the hole and the putt that followed allowed me to save par and give me momentum for the last few holes to play."
Triple tie in 2nd place, Yann Béland (L'Épiphanie) absent on the photo, Éric Laporte (Montcalm) absent on the photo and Sonny Michaud (La Tempête) all 3 shot 68 (-4)
 William Blanchard (Rosemère Fontainebleau) and Raphael Talbot (Montcalm) won the pro-am with a score of 63 (-9). |
