Eric LeFante of Hominy Hill G.C. won the NJSGA Men´s Public Links in record-setting style by shooting 14 under par.

LeFante Blitzes MenÂ´s Public Links
MILLSTONE, N.J. (July 26, 2010). The rest of the field was playing for second. After Eric LeFante opened with a six under par 66 in the 36-hole Men’s Public Links Championship at Charleston Spring’s South Course on July 22nd, it became clear early in the second round that no one would catch him. He bettered his first round score, shooting 64, and posted the lowest 36-hole score in the history of NJSGA competition at fourteen under par. In the process, he managed to win the Men’s Public Links Championship by eleven strokes and defend the title he won last year. Read more>

Gaffney Conquers the Open
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (July 19, 2010). When Brian Gaffney walked off the last hole at Spring Brook Country Club on July 16th a State Open champion, no one could say that he did not earn it. The 39 year-old Head Professional from Rumson Country Club has the talent, the experience, and an assortment of other victories to merit the stamp “Open Champion,” but the title simply had eluded him. He was leading the Open last year at Rock Spring Club when Brett Jones of Trump National – Bedminster eagled the par-5 14 hole, leapfrogging Gaffney from one stroke behind to one stroke ahead and eventually winning by two. He was close two years ago at Alpine when he entered the final day as co-leader but a disappointing round dropped him to a seventh place finish. And he was really close in 1998 at Spring Lake when amateur Ken Macdonald prevailed in a playoff. Read more>

State Open Back on Track
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (July 16, 2010). After multiple set-backs due to stormy weather this week, the 90th NJSGA Open Championship has finally reached the third and final round today at Spring Brook Country Club. With Brian Gaffney of Rumson Country Club and Frank Esposito of Brooklake Country Club jockeying for position during the first two rounds, Esposito (67-70 = 137) takes a one stroke lead over Gaffney (66-72 = 138) into the final round.
