TEAM WILLIAMSON-DUNNING TAKE 2024 MILLCREEK SNOWBIRD
BOARDMAN, OH- The 2024 Snowbird Scramble at Mill Creek Golf Course was nothing short of a showdown. A sold-out crowd of 18 teams teed it up on the North Course, where par 70 got pushed to its limits with some gnarly pin placements. When the dust settled, Team Williamson-Dunning claimed the crown with an impressive 59, going 11 under and putting the field on notice.
It was smooth sailing for Andrew Williamson, Jeff Williamson, Matt Dunning, and Rachel Dunning, who found their groove early and didn’t let up. They pulled ahead with a clean mix of clutch shots and tight teamwork, ultimately clinching first place by a two-stroke cushion.
Coming in second with a solid 61 were Bettura, Stack, Strollo, and Heasley, while Team Rogers-Vocature-Sveda locked down third with a score of 63. Fitzsimmons, Mondock, Austin, and Gaia followed in fourth with 64, while the fifth spot saw a three-way tie at 65, including the McClure and Merkel squads, as well as Genga, Critell, Martino, and Herman.
In the skill events, Strollo and Cespedes were dialed in, with Cespedes snagging both closest-to-the-flag on #16 and the longest putt on #9. Merkel let it rip with the longest drive on #7, while Cespedes also took longest drive honors on #15. Williamson and his squad also cleaned up in the skins game, taking birdies on #3 and #14 to secure two skins, with Team Reidy adding one on #5.
All in all, it was a killer day on the links with prime competition, and the 2024 champs, Team Williamson-Dunning, took home the hardware and bragging rights for the year.
