DJ COMPLETES WGC SLAM

Very few have done what Tiger has not.  Way to go, DJ!

Although Tiger Woods has won more WGC events than any other player – 18, to be exact – he didn’t win the HSBC Champions in either of his two starts. Johnson, meanwhile, has won the HSBC, back in 2013. He also won the Bridgestone Invitational twice. Earlier this month, he won the Mexico Championship.

And on Sunday, he became the first player to complete the WGC career slam, winning the Dell Technologies Match Play for the first time.

“Pretty awesome,” said Johnson after his dominant week, in which he played 112 holes and never trailed after any of them. “Definitely kind of cool to be the first one to win all four. These are the biggest events besides the majors, with the best golfers in the world.”

While Dustin can’t match Tiger’s success rate at the WGCs – Tiger has won 18 of his 44 WGC starts, a 41 percent win ratio, while Dustin has won five of 29 starts, a 17 percent clip – Johnson has the second most WGC wins of anybody other than Tiger.

But though Johnson – who also moved into No. 1 in FedExCup points with Sunday’s win — is the first to complete the WGC slam, he doesn’t expect to be the last.

“I feel like there will be some more to do it,” he said. “But I’m very, very pleased with it.”

5th Annual Masters Par -3 Golf & Player Auctions

Twin City CC Men’s Golf Association

 5th Annual Masters’ Par-3 Golf & Player Auctions

Wednesday, April 5th, 2017      

Par-3 Golf @ 5:30 p.m., Auctions @ 7 p.m.!

Masters’ Par-3 Golf Outing @ 5:30 p.m. — $10 per person entry fee!

 

“Blind Draw Auction” on entire Masters’ field, followed by a “Live Auction” on the pre-tournament favorites, beginning at 7 p.m.!!

As we did in 2016, the blind draw bid sheets on this year’s Masters’ field will be available beginning Monday, March 20th in the TCCC Golf Shop. For $20 you get one of the 60 blank lines on our sheet (or you may purchase multiple lines if you like). On April 5th, shortly after 7 p.m., all of the players in the field will be randomly drawn – (the 33 top-ranked golfers will be drawn as individuals) — the rest will be drawn in pairs as we fill the sheet.

  • In case you didn’t make it last year……here’s how it works…let’s say you choose to purchase “line #21” on the sheet…on drawing night we randomly pull and call out “line 21”…and then pull Jason Day’s name…Jason is now yours! Or we may pull a piece of paper that has two golfers’ names on it.
  • Blind Draw Payout – TCCC MGA will keep a portion of the revenue from this event for its involvement in & support of club projects. The remaining $$ will be paid out to the winners – 1st place gets $250; 2nd place $200; 3rd place $150; 4th place $100; 5th and 6th places earn their “money back” $20 prize!
  • After the “Blind Draw” is complete, the fun continues with a “live auction” on the top 15-20 golfers who are considered to be this year’s pre-tournament favorites! Oh, and in case you forgot….2016 Masters’ winner Danny Willett was bought for a ‘whopping’ $30 in last year’s live auction and then, thanks to Jordan Spieth’s unexpected mishap(s) on the 12th hole on Sunday, generated a 1st-place prize of nearly $1,500 for our winner!
  • Live Auction Payout – TCCC MGA will keep 20% of the live auction revenue for its involvement in & support of club projects. The remaining $$ will be paid out as follows – 1st place 40%; 2nd place 30%; 3rd place 20%; 4th place 10% (any ties will be taken into consideration and paid accordingly).
