2018 NYSGA Champions, Runner-Ups & Full Results

December 03, 2018

JAMESVILLE, N.Y. -- It was another exciting year for championship golf in New York, with eleven new state champions and twelve state co-champions decided in the 17 titles conducted this season.

2018 was drama-filled, as sudden-death playoffs decided the results of five championships. Eleven won their inaugural state titles, while twelve others reclaimed a past title or captured a new one including Tom Blank, Teresa Cleland, Kyra Cox, Mark Dugan, Billy Hanes, Jenna Hoecker, Jamie Miller, Luke Sample, Bailey Shoemaker, Will Thomson, Carina Watkins and Kevin Webb.

This year's schedule was hosted by many of New York’s top clubs including Leatherstocking Golf Course, Robert Trent Jones Golf Course at Cornell University, Yahnundasis Golf Club, Seven Oaks Golf Club, Irondequoit Country Club, Skaneateles Country Club, Thendara Golf Course, Mohawk Golf Club and Wanakah Golf Club
