On Masters weekend, Jason Anthony made a statement, pulling away from the field at Corica Park Golf Course

Jason Anthony, a Fairfield, Calif., resident, set himself up for a run during the first weekend of the Alameda Commuters. He closed it out on the second weekend.

Anthony logged closing rounds of 66-72 at Corica Park Golf Course in Alameda, Calif., on Masters weekend to win the title by four shots. Anthony was four shots better than runner-up Aaron Chen of Fremont, Calif., who finished at 4 under for the tournament.

It’s a redeeming win for Anthony, who last month came up short in his effort to defend his San Francisco City Amateur title. Anthony lost in the 36-hole final despite playing brilliant golf in the weeks-long event. There have been close calls in this event before, too. He finished inside the top 3 in 2017 and in 2015, and tied for second in 2014.

Anthony finished 72 holes at 8 under, and as one of three players to get under par. Chen was 4 under, and Brendan Hy in third was 2 under. He had the second-best final-round score, a 4-under 68.

Jalen Griffin was solo fourth at even par, followed by three players in a tie for fifth, including Bobby Bucey and Domingo Jojola. Bucey was a semifinalist at the San Francisco City and Jojola scored top-5 finishes at last year’s NCGA Stroke Play and NCGA Mid-Amateur.
