The Tour's day in Snohomish is settled. Twenty players, five foursomes, one devious 1-2-3 best-ball format — and when the cards came in it was the 10:30 group — Griswold, Jeff Johnson, Matt Uhlar & Woerner — posting 133 to take it, clear by two. Cam Kashfia stole low net with a 70; Chris Clogston owned low gross at 75. The full recap — and how the Oracle did — is just below.
Champions: the 10:30 group. Gray Griswold, Jeff Johnson, Matt Uhlar and Mike Woerner walked off with it — 133, clear by two. The Oracle had them fourth. They went and won the whole thing. Classic. Matt Uhlar did the front-of-the-card heavy lifting (77 gross, net 74), Jeff Johnson and Griswold matched steady 76 nets, and Woerner filled every gap. No soft spots — exactly like the sim said. It just had the finish upside down.
Second, and showered before you made the turn: 10:00. Pat Bangasser, Cam Kashfia, Chuck Horton and Tom Mahaffey posted 135 off the very first tee time of the day. The engine was Kashfia, who took low net honors outright — a 70 built on an 88 and a fistful of 18 strokes. The handicap giveth, and it handed Cam the individual crown. Bangasser (net 76), Horton (77) and Mahaffey (81) did the rest.
The Oracle's favorite settled for third: 10:40. Sean Fagan carried the Fagan flag solo and carried it well — 83 gross, net 72, low man on his own card. Trevor Johnson (84), Pete Brinck (83) and Warren Berger (96, net 77 — those strokes still earning their keep) rounded out a 137. A fine day. Just not the coronation the math promised the favorites.
The Mirage was prophetic: 10:10, fourth. We named Chris Clogston's group the Money-List Mirage, and the round nodded along. Clogston fired the low gross of the day — a tidy 75 — and in a net best ball it bought his team exactly nothing but pride: 139, fourth. Tanor Johnson's comeback 79 (net 73) was everything you want in a first round back — Baby Dylan approves. Erik Harris chipped in a net 72, and Fred Miller lived the High Life (104) and remains the champagne of playing partners regardless of the number. Great ball-striking, wrong format.
And the basement belonged to 10:20 — right where the Oracle left them. The lowest-handicap crew in the field drew the fewest strokes, and it showed: 141, dead last. Chris Tank (80, net 73) and Eric Uhlar (83, net 72) played plenty of golf, Todd Kibbee posted 86 and Rick Loya a 98 — but net best ball waits for no scratch. Too Good For Their Own Good, confirmed by the math and the scorecard. Somebody buy these guys a stroke.
Pat handed us a devious one. The scoring rotates every three holes — one best ball, then two, then three, six times around the loop. So we took the five foursomes, their real handicaps off the board, and that 1-2-3 rotation, and played Echo Falls one million times. Here's how often each group walked off with it — and here's the twist: it's a net best ball, so the strokes decide everything. The handicap giveth.
Three days, three courses, one runaway. Tank & Jeff Johnson led the $3,040 Calcutta wire-to-wire, closing at 284 — six clear of the Fagan brothers. Berger & Mischke's 89 at Lake Padden was the low round of the entire trip. The complete 54-hole leaderboard, championship payouts, and round-by-round notebook are preserved on the event page.
