Picard Cup: Bowen Osborn and Devon Hopkins finish on top

Bowen Osborn and Devon Hopkins won the mid-amateur division of the 27th playing of the Picard Cup at venerable Canterbury Golf Club in Cleveland with a winning score of 11-under 205, good for a three-stroke win over Joe Deraney and Nick Biesecker.

Osborn, a former Arizona and Minnesota State Amateur champion, and Hopkins, the 2019 Florida Mid-Amateur Stroke Play champion, were nursing a one-stroke lead heading into the final hole and a birdie on the last coupled with a bogey by Deraney and Biesecker accounted for the final margin. Both teams carded final rounds of 65 (-7) to share low honors for the day.

Canterbury members Andrew Bailey and John Ebert shot a final round score of 67 (-5) to finish alone in third place at 6-under 210. Andy Hire and Tim Skufca finished fourth at 211 (-5) while Charlie Keene and Rob Garland rounded out the top-five at 4-under 212 following a final round of 68.

Lambos and Laubaucher stayed hot in the alternate shot, shooting 69 (-3) to open a 7-shot lead over DiSanto and Joseph heading into the better ball final round. The duo prevailed with an even par 72 to finish at 210 (-6) and a seven-stroke victory.
