ALBRIGHT/ALBRIGHT, IRVIN/SEARCY, PRENDERGAST/EASTON OCALA CUP WINNERS

Under ideal scoring conditions at Ocala Golf Club the golfers once again shot lights out in the Ocala Cup. The final round saw 16 of the 36 teams break par in this best-ball event.

Miles and Gray Albright ran away with the Open Division firing a 12-under-par 60 to go along with their opening round 61 which gave them a two-day score of 23 under-par 121. The Albright brothers’ 121 total put them eight shots clear of second place finishers Ben Locker and Ryan Letterly. The Locker/Letterly team shot an impressive 15-under-par 129. Finishing in third place was Zach Andrews and Martin Musgrave with a 9-under-par 135 total.

In the Senior Division there was a tie after regulation play between the teams of Paul Irvin/Bill Searcy and Mike Zito/Kyle Allen. Both teams shot identical rounds (63 and 67) for a 14-under-par 130 score and the match went to sudden-death. Irvin/Searcy won the match on the first playoff hole. Finishing in third place was Tommy Lowe and Scott Thul with a score of 133 (69-64).

Jim Prendergast and Jack Easton via an 9-under-par 63 blitzed the Super Senior Division field. Their 13-under-par 131 (68-63) score gave them a seven shot win. Tied for second were Richard Weber/Larry VanderBie and Andy Padova/Walter Himselsbaugh. Both teams finished at 6-under-par 138.

This was the last event of the year but it was the first event for the 2025 Marion County Golf Association’s Golfer of the Year.
