2015 Tournament Recap

 

As the sun set on the 97th Annual Father & Son Invitational, a familiar team walked into the history books. Joe & Brendan Monahan secured their record setting 8th tournament title with an impressive round of 2-under par 69. The win tops the seven championships won by Joe's grandfather and father (Joe and Joe Jr.).

 

Chris & Connor McCarthy from Ferncroft CC had the first tee time of the tournament and posted an even par 71 before most of the field even teed off.   By days end, they would share the lead with Winchester’s own, Hugh & Peter Mullin and Peter & Augie Martini.  The threesome would cling to the lead for the entire tournament until the Monahan’s, playing in the event’s final group on Thursday, stole the show with their great round.  Their impressive score included birdies on the 2nd, 6th, 8th and 12th holes, to offset two bogies. 

 

In all, 20 of the 25 teams that finished “in the money” held a Winchester affiliation, proving that local knowledge can be a huge advantage.
