Stocker Cup: Kevin Marsh leads loaded field

CARMEL, Calif. (Oct. 12, 2011) -- The field is officially set for the 2011 Stocker Cup, which will be played October 27-30 at The Preserve Golf Club in Carmel. For its 20th Anniversary, the Stocker Cup has, perhaps, its strongest- ever field that includes multiple state champions and USGA participants plus two players who have been invited to The Masters.

Players to watch include:

Kevin Marsh (Henderson, Nevada) - Two- time defending champion of the Stocker Cup. The Preserve Golf Club obviously fits the 2005 USGA Mid-Am champ's eye, and he has shown an ability to stay solid down the stretch in both of his two Stocker Cup victories. Marsh won the 2010 event by a single shot after starting the day four behind on the strength of Sunday's low round of 2- under 70 in cold, wet conditions.

Randy Haag (San Francisco, California) - Two-time Stocker Cup winner Haag, 52, continues to dominate Northern California golf, winning an unprecedented 6th NCGA Player-of-the-Year title in 2011 and qualifying for three USGA events. He also finished low amateur for the second straight year in he British Senior Open, earning him another exemption into the 2012 field. Last week he won the Olympic Club Championship.
