Mark Warman won his fourth San Clemente Men's Amateur Golf Championship on Sunday and I do mean he won on Sunday. After the first round Mark led by only a single stroke over 3 players and by 2 over 5 more so there were just 2 strokes separating 9 players. Then came Sunday and Mark's putter got hot. His 5 under par 67 lapped the field and he won by 6 strokes. His total of 132 was 6 strokes poorer that the tournament record of 128 set by, oh yeh, Mark in 2016..

The cut again this year was 4 over.

On the Senior Championship side things were a bit closer as Kevin McKelvie, Jason Bittic and Doug Krone were all tied at the end of 2 rounds. It certainly didn't look as though it would be tight at the end of Saturday's competition. Kevin shot a brilliant 67 to tie for the low round of the day. That gave him a 4 shot lead over Len Komar. 3 players followed Len at 73 and then Doug and Jason at 74.

Everything seemed to reverse on Sunday as Doug Krone and Jason Bittick both shot 2 under 70s and Kevin McKelvic and Len Komar shot 77s. So there was to be a playoff between Doug, Jason and Kevin. Unfortunately Jason had left the course and was unable to return for the playoff. It was a short, sudden death challenge with Doug coming out on top

Congratulations to Mark and Doug and to those who made the cut. We hope to see you next year, October 18 and 19, 2025 - Save the date!
