Ross Beal of Uniontown posted two solid scores and then an incredible round of 63 to claim a 12-shot victory in the ADGA’s 54-Hole Medal Play tournament this past weekend.

Beal opened with strong totals of 71 at Seven Hills and 72 at Brookledge, and then fired a sizzling eight-under par 63 in the final round at Portage Country Club to lap the field. In windy conditions throughout the weekend, his was a decisive victory and some great play.

Chris Minear played a great third round as well, posting a score of 3-under par 68 to go along with a pair of early round 75s to finish second alone. Complete results below.

The next event on the ADGA schedule is the Match Play, with the qualifying round to be held on Saturday, June 21 at Good Park GC in Akron. To register for that event, visit the ADGA website or call (440) 848-8364.
