2026 Red, White & Blue 🇺🇸
First and foremost, we’d like to offer a heartfelt thank you to all of our MGA players, markers, and NGC staff who came out this weekend and helped make the 2026 Red, White & Blue Tournament a success. We’re truly grateful to everyone who continues to show up for the competition and camaraderie that our group — and our little course — can create on weekends like this. That enthusiasm gives us hope that tournament weekends will remain an MGA tradition for many years to come.
On the course, Saturday’s strong play set the stage for a thrilling finish in the net division. In Round 1, Kristian Lacot fired a career-best 77, an outstanding performance that ultimately earned him second place overall on our net leaderboard. Then, on Sunday, Andrew Gosman delivered a career round of his own, shooting a personal-best 73 to surge to victory and capture the Net Championship. Two career rounds on the same weekend—what a tremendous display of golf. Fantastic playing, and congratulations, Mr. Gosman!
The gross title brought drama all the way down to the final holes — and ultimately to the final shots and putts of our runner-up and champion. Playing his final hole of the day at #16, Matt Doherty hit a fantastic drive, followed it with a terrific second shot, and calmly converted a five-foot eagle putt to close his round in spectacular fashion.
But our overnight leader, Jim Sussmann, would not be outdone and had the final answer. On #18, Jim knocked his tee shot tight and rolled in the birdie putt for a closing 2 and an unforgettable finish. It was a clutch ending to a tremendous weekend of golf and a very well-deserved victory for our 2026 RWB Gross Champion, Mr. Jim Sussmann!
Congratulations to both of our champions — and thank you again to everyone who helped make this year’s RWB an awesome weekend.
