Vernon’s Shannon Glenesk and Tom Ross combined to finish tied for fifth in the TaylorMade Adidas Golf PGA of B.C. Tournament of Champions Monday at Canucks (Predator) Ridge.
Glenesk, the head pro, and Ross, the club champion, shot a best ball total 69 for a five-way share of fifth place, good for $450.
Glenesk also pocketed $300 and Ross collected a TaylorMade R11 driver for winning the BIG BREAK skills challenge Sunday night which included a long putt, bunker shot, pitch and long drive contest.
A field of 36 teams competed on the gorgeous Ridge course with $9,000 in prize money and merchandise on the line.
“It was a new experience for all of us playing tournament golf on the Ridge,” said Glenesk. “There were a lot of pressurized tee shots. We felt like we left a fair amount out there. We played a lot of solo when one of us was out of play so it wasn’t stress free. Tom played well.”
Kelowna Two Eagles Golf Course & Academy pro Dean Claggett and Curtis Pannell pocketed $1,250 for splitting top spot with Barry Norris and Bill Kelly of Glacier Greens Golf Club in Comox, at 65.
Dan Trevisan and Jay Banfield of Squamish Valley Golf Club earned $900 for third, at 66.
Canucks Ridge pro Rod Cochrane and Pat Harrison shot a 76 to finish out of the money.
