Suitca, Hartman Lead Teams to Victory at Firestone Fazio
Firestone Country Club’s Fazio Course played host to the annual Northern Ohio PGA Mizuno Pro–3 Junior tournament, featuring 21 teams made up of PGA Professionals or Associates paired with three junior golfers all under the age of 19. The 18-hole better ball event included both gross and net divisions and highlighted some of the best young talent in the region.
In the gross division, the team led by Mary Suitca, PGA Head Professional at Tannenhauf Golf Club, captured the title with a score of 6-under-par. Suitca was joined by junior partners Zoë Mort, Anthony Gambone, and Dan Gambone.
On the net side, Dirk Hartman of The First Tee of Akron guided his team of juniors — Rylee Hoover, Emma Kesler, and Ayreana Rippey — to a dominant 20-under-par victory.
The Northern Ohio PGA tournament schedule continues this Monday, June 9, with the Club Car / Pepsi H.G. Fairhurst Memorial Stroke Play #3 at Congress Lake Club.
