Nebraska Cup Matches (2012)
Fremont Golf Club
Friday, July 20
The
Nebraska Cup Matches pit the top twelve amateur golfers in the
state against the Nebraska Section of the PGA's top twelve professionals.
The event feature's both Four-Ball and Singles matches in a Nassau-style
scoring competition.
Last
season the Nebraska PGA won the 2011 Nebraska Cup Matches by 1
point at Norfolk Country Club. After
claiming a slight lead (19-17) following the morning Four-Ball
session at Norfolk Country Club, the amateur squad was overcome
for a second straight year in afternoon singles to be defeated
by the Nebraska PGA (36.5, 35.5).
Andy Sajevic of Fremont,
led the amateur squad sweeping both his matches. He teamed with
his father, John, to defeat Kevin Sullivan (Bellevue) & Chris
Wiemers (Happy Hollow Club, Omaha) and then topped Shane Zywiec
(Highlands Golf Course, Lincoln) in singles play.
The selection
of the Nebraska Cup Team is based upon the final NGA point standings
of the previous year. Those golfers ranked in the top ten qualify
for the team. The Nebraska Golf Association Board of Directors
has granted the NGA Tournament Committee the right to select the
remainder of the team, including replacements for qualifiers.
The NGA trails the
overall series 22-17.
