BRADLEY KROPP
2009 Champion
Dr Kropp, the relatively unknown surgeon from Oklahoma City, took out some highly credentialed players in all kinds of conditions on a very tough course. After just getting in match play, he stunned Medalist Randy Haag in the 16s, then proceeded through his other matches getting top 300 in the world, Chris Marin in the final prevailing on the last hole. The event was quite a ride for all involved fabulously hosted by an outstanding club at Mayacama.
The 12 SPMA will be at Mayacama GC
in Northern California near Santa Rosa again
during the Spring. Mayacama is one of the top 80 courses
in the country. The SPMA is a Scratch Players World Am
Ranking event as well as a NCGA point event. The format is stroke play finishing with match play. All match play is during the weekend each year. Field spots are allocated to those with distinguishable amateur tournament track records determined primarily as those eligible mid-ams ranked among the top 1000 amateurs worldwide. The 09 SPMA was extremely popular among the participants so "getting in" for 12 will be a tough ticket. The 2010 and 2011 SPMA was not held.
2012 Dates are March 22-25
Course is, without doubt, the best course to ever host a Scratch Players event and one of the best courses to host any amateur event in the country. In the heart of the wine country, bring the wife or someone special to this one.
Included in the ranking since 07
The SPMA Champion earns a two year exemption into the Scratch Players Championship with semi-finalists getting an exemption into the next SPC.
