Back-To-Back: Moawad/Joe, or “Joawad”, became just the 3rd team (D. Vargas/Witt 2011-12; Crump/W. Vargas 2019-22) to repeat as champions (Moawad and Crump have previously repeated as champion but with different partners)… Wire-To-Wire: “Joawad” were the 11th first round leaders in 18 editions to go on to victory… 30 mark: “Joawad” became the first team in the last 4 editions (not counting 2024’s match play format) to score over 30 points. 30+ points have been reached just 6 times in the 15 “modern era” editions… New King: Moawad now holds the record for most Hooters victories (6), breaking a tie with Martin Witt. 6 is also ties the record for most wins in any particular tournament on Tour (Tour Championship, Moawad; Tournament of Champions, Grigorian)… Hat Trick: Saturday’s win marked the 3rd straight victory in as many starts for Moawad (2024 Tour Championship, 2025 South Bay Challenge); it’s the 2nd 3-tournament win streak of his career… Debut: Jonathan Krieg made his MGM Tour debut in the Hooters just as his uncle Walter Vargas did 19 years earlier.
