SHIELDS SHINES!

Congratulations to Kevin Shields, your 2025 Dick's Sporting Goods TSPGA Tour Champion at Omni Bedford Springs Resort Old Course.

Shields delivered a stellar 7-under second round performance with eight birdies (5 in a row) to finish 6-under par 138, holding off John Aber (-4) by two strokes.

Congratulations to Srixon/Cleveland Golf Division winner Steve Kusenko, who, like Shields, shaved eight strokes off his round 1 total with three birdies and an eagle to spring to the top of the leaderboard.

What an excellent opportunity for our professionals to end the championship season at one of America's first golf courses, The Old Course at Omni Bedford Springs Resort; Golfweek's 2025 Top 200 Resort Golf Courses in the U.S. #1 in Pennsylvania on Golfweek Magazine's 2025 list of "The Best Courses You Can Play."

Thank you to presenting partner Dick's Sporting Goods and Edward Stack, Johan Smit, and Josh Grundon of Srixon/Cleveland Golf for their season-long supporting partnership, to Branded Bills for another season of tremendous TSPGA tournament hats, and our final thank you to host PGA Professional Jim Woods and his phenomenal golf staff and the Omni Bedford Springs Resort staff.
