Brett Widner and Matt Littleton shot rounds of 65-67 on the weekend to win the Open Division of the 2025 AmateurGolf.com Two-Man Links at Bandon Dunes. The talented duo shot rounds of 71-74-65-67 to finish 9-under and pull away from the field by 12 shots.
Jeff Eiserman and Kirk Viehl finished in solo second place at 3-over, and AmateurGolf.com founder Pete Wlodkowski and Peter Davison finished in solo third place at 5-over after a final round 3-under 69.
Ben Whipple and Sherman Haggerty finished in solo fourth place at 8-over, and Randall Conn and Jeff Andersson finished in solo fifth place at 9-over.
Spencer and Marshall Cole won the Father-Son Division at 6-under with rounds of 68-68-73-71, defeating the field by eight shots.
Connor and Doug Donnelly finished in solo second place at 2-over, and Kyle and Peter Gibbons and Jason and Kent Lund finished T3 at 4-over. Ethan and Tony Hejna finished in solo fifth place at 8-over.
In the Senior Division, Eiserman and Viehl shot a 3-under 69 and finished 3-over, two shots better than Wlodkowski and Davison, who finished 5-over.
In typical Bandon fashion, the second round was played at Sheep Ranch, and winds gusted upwards of 40 miles per hour. However, golfers took advantage of that when they were downwind, as Spencer Cole drove the green on the 400-yard par-4 No. 9 to jumpstart Cole's round and tournament.
The Coles tied for the best round of the day on Friday. Their playing partners, Liam and Scot Wilson, even remarked, "It was one of the best ball striking rounds I've ever watched," Scot said about Spencer.
Liam, who is 14, is the youngest player in the field. He said this was his first time at Bandon and that he "wants to stay there forever." I think we can all agree with that.
Tied for the round of the second round with the Coles was Meaghan and Stuart Kari, who also shot a 4-under 68 after an 82 in the first round.
"The biggest difference for both of us was making more putts," Stuart Kari said. "Meaghan was striking the ball much today and seemed to be in a groove, and didn't let the wind rattle her. Overall, we just ham and egg'ed it well."
Golfers were also treated to a Fujikura and Callaway Demo Day, and groups came from Berlin, Germany, and Hollywood, Northern Ireland, Rory McIlroy's hometown, for the tournament.
In fact, Adrian and BJ Eastwood of Northern Ireland were interviewed by the BBC after McIlroy's win outside of a coffee shop in Hollywood about McIlroy's Masters win, and he joked he didn't know what happened and wasn't a golfer.
Adrian Eastwood also took the mic at the dinner during the tournament and talked about how important McIlroy's win was for the town of Hollywood. He said he wasn't sure what Rory would do for the champions dinner, but after his round on Sunday he predicted it would be Irish Stew.
Only time will tell.
Also, Dirk and Arne Wagner from Berlin, Germany finished in solo second place at 12-under in the Father-Son Net Division. So the two international teams both took home hardware.
