We have a new Champion of the National Car Rental Michigan Assistants Championship. Adam Schumacher of Point O’Woods Country Club is a first-time winner of the event finally getting it done after five prior starts with best finish being T-3 back in 2021. 50 Michigan PGA Section Assistants teed it up on Monday August 13th at Kent Country Club, competing not only for the trophy but also three spots in the National Car Rental Assistants PGA Professional Championship taking place November 14th-17th at PGA Golf Club in Port St Lucie, Florida.

Adam Schumacher fired off impressive rounds of 69-70 on a tough course to put himself 3 three under par for the tournament and earning the first qualifying spot, narrowly escaping runner up Baker Stevenson of Meadowbrook Country Club  who finished at two under par. Although Stevenson placed second he is unfortunately ineligible to advance to the Assistants PGA professional championship, therefore the second qualifying spot was awarded to our third place finisher Ryan Bayer of Kent Country Club. Bayer had some of the most course knowledge of the field getting the job done at his home club with rounds of 71-70 to finish one under par for the tournament.

The last qualifying spot came down to a playoff between Justin McPhail of Traverse City Golf & Country Club, and Joshua Proben of Western Golf and Country Club. Both players were tied for fourth place at even par for the day. McPhail and Proben played the par 4, 18th to determine the qualifier and the 1st alternate. McPhail came out on top Capturing the last qualifying spot and Joshua Proben claimed the first alternate.

We also would like to give a huge thank you to Kent Country Club for being such an incredible host venue, and a huge thank you to the Director of Golf Aaron Kelm, and all his staff for making this event possible and for all they did for our employees to make this tournament run so great.

Thank you as well to our title sponsor National Car Rental and presenting sponsors Srixon, Cleveland Golf, Asics and the PGA Tour.
