Winghaven Country Club 

2017 Missouri Stroke Play Championship

The final rounds of play at the 2017 Missouri Stroke Play Championship took place today at the Winghaven Country Club.  The players would play their third round in the morning followed shortly after by their fourth and final round of play in the afternoon.

The field of the final rounds consisted of sixty golfers competing for the title.  There was a four-way tie among Sam Migdal, Travis Mays, Jeremy Franklin, and Alex Cusumano.  Both Migdal and Mays shot an impressive one under par (71) in the morning round.  Cusumano and Franklin were not far behind them carding 73 (Cusumano) and 75 (Franklin).  

The heat only continued to increase throughout the day making the play more difficult in the afternoon.  However, Migdal bared the heat in the afternoon and came out on top with a 69, being the only player to break 70 this week.  Midgal said that he was happy about improving throughout the day.

“Today I just got better as the day went on.  I was two over through my first nine holes and five under after that,” Migdal said.  

He was pleased to be the next family member to win the Stroke Play Championship.

“It feels good to win.  My brother (Joe Migdal) won it two years ago so it’s good to have my name under his,” Migdal said.

In all, the Missouri Golf Association would pay out the top thirty places for a total of $5,975 with the Champion taking home $750 in clubhouse credit. The Missouri Golf Association would like to thank the Winghaven Golf Club and staff for their tireless efforts throughout the week

Missouri Stroke Play Championship  

July 10-12, 2017

WingHaven Country Club, O’Fallon

The Missouri Golf Association is thrilled to host the 20th Annual Missouri Stroke Play Championship at the WingHaven Country Club in O’Fallon from July 10 to 12.

The WingHaven Country Club was established in 1999 and is a family-oriented club located just minutes west of the Chesterfield Valley area. The Club offers a “home away from home” feel and is home to strong community support. In 2010, WingHaven was acquired by new membership and has continued to flourish. The Nicklaus Design golf course is considered one of the best kept secrets in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. The course can play as long as 7,230 yards from the Gold tees, however, it offers a total of five different teeing areas to allow all skill levels to play. Golfweek Magazine ranked WingHaven 4th in Missouri – “Places you can play” (2006) and 5th in Missouri – “Places you can play” (2005). The Club has and continues to host several prestigious professional and amateur championships.

The inaugural Stroke Play Championship was hosted in 1998 at the Millwood Golf & Racquet Club where Doug Diemer, a St. Louis native, claimed the very first title. Since then, Skip Berkmeyer, from Wildwood, has taken the Stroke Play title twice, once in 2013 at the Meadowbrook Country Club and another in 2016 at the Dalhousie Golf Club. Berkmeyer will be back this July to defend his championship title.

This year’s Championship will consist of 156 players. The practice round will be held on Sunday, July 9, with individuals playing 18 holes. The Stroke Play Championship will officially kick off on Monday, July 10, and players will compete in the first round of 18 holes. On Tuesday, July 11, players will play another 18 holes and the tournament will be cut to 50 players and ties. There will be both an AM and PM round of 18 holes on Wednesday, July 12. The AM round will be the third, and the PM will act as the final round. The champion will win an appropriate award and the traveling trophy for one year. Those who finish in the top 25 will receive gift certificates from the pro shop.
