The President's Cup 2014
Congratulations to J Goldberg
The 2014 President's Cup
tournament concluded with a very close final round. In the end
Jeremy
Goldberg out lasted Steve Hertz through 21 holes of play.
The regulation 18 holes were extremely tight with only one lead of 2UP and no one ever winning more than two holes in a row. Both players started tentatively, each losing one of the first two holes with a big number. Then Jeremy won two of the next three, including a nice par (with a stroke) on #5. Steve erased that lead by immediately winning the next two holes and they were all square after 7. They pushed #8 and #9 to end the front tied. Steve opened the back with a par on #10, but Jeremy came back to win #12. Tied again.
A push on #12 and then Jeremey once more came up with a 5 on a par 5 to go 1UP after 13. Steve bounced right back with a win on #14 to tie the match. Then Hertz parred #16 for win and was 1Up with 2 to play. I didn't see them play #17, but I would have loved to. Under some real pressure Jeremy squeaked out a natural par to win the hole and tie the match. That would have been fun to see.

They pushed #18 to end regulation All Square. Two playoff holes later, they were still tied. Finally, playing #10, Steve got into trouble and Jeremy took advantage. Congratulations to our new President's Cup Champion, Jeremy Goldberg.
