The top 40 SMGA point leaders competed in the two-day net competition on Friday and Saturday 12-2 and 12-3 to determine the POTY Champion. This is the culmination of a full year’s worth of Saturday SMGA Saturday Event competitions. The weather was typical Arizona weather on Friday but rained during most of the second day of competition. The second day’s scores and soggy players reflected the difficult playing conditions, with only two players shooting below their handicaps.

Congratulations to Eric Wagner for winning the SMGA 2022 Player of the Year Tournament with a net two-day score of 143! Chris Bretz and Bill Linck were both two strokes back at 145 for a second place tie.

Two other honors that are earned from the year’s competition are the Point’s Leader and the Ironman awards. Jason Kujanson was Points Leader – Awarded to the member that earned the most points during the season. Rick Wagner was Iron Man – Awarded to the member who played the most POTY events during the season.
