Course Conditions & Atmosphere
From tee to green, Tidewater was in championship form—lightning-fast greens, smooth fairways, and postcard-worthy views around every corner. With weather that held just long enough and a field packed with hungry competitors, the stage was set for an epic showdown across all three divisions.
Division A: Watkins & Vennari Make History
The dynamic duo of Andrew Watkins and Dominick Vennari etched their names into the BAG Tour record books this weekend. With laser-focused consistency and a clutch Sunday finish, they became the first two-man team to win multiple events this season.
