Elders' Cup to Trevor Giggey |
(Antigonish, NS) October 18, 2009
- A birdie by team captain Trevor Giggey, on the final hole, in the
final match of the day, lifted the Young Guns to victory in the 8th
Annual CPGA Atlantic Elders’ Cup, contested 17-18 October at Antigonish
Golf & CC.
In the final match Giggey was one down to Greg Sutherland,
of the Old Guys, coming to the eighteenth hole. A win by Sutherland and the
matches would have been all square, at 14 points each, and the defending Old
Guys would have retained the cup; but, Giggey’s second shot to within five
feet and resulting birdie changed all that. Their match ended all square and
the Young Guns once again had the cup, with a final winning tally of 14 ˝ to
13 ˝.
It was fitting that the winning stroke was made by Giggey,
the current Zone Champion and Tour Champion and top player on the CPGA
Atlantic Tour this past season.
The modified Ryder Cup team competition pitted 14 CPGA
Atlantic professionals, 34 years and younger (Young Guns) against 14 of
their fellow professionals who are 35 years and older (Old Guys). The
selection of teams was based on...(October,

left him with a short approach shot which he holed for eagle two and a four
shot victory.
“I felt that I hit it really good the past couple of
days,” reported Dugas. “I was just very uncomfortable on the greens. I
