QUICK CHIPS
37: Saturday’s win was the 37th of Moawad’s career, 30th in a non-team event… Temps hot, Moawad hotter: Moawad’s championship round 25 set a new tournament record, beating the old record (27) he set in 2017, also at Alhambra. The win was his record-extending 6th Devil Ball title… Scramble before the scramble: With a last minute withdrawal, a scramble to re-jigger the format saw defending champion Walter Vargas play the Devil ball for both teams (6 holes each). His final turn with it for the D. Vargas/T. Joe team proved disastrous (lost ball plus water hazard) earning him the gizmo prize for the first time in his career… Caaw-Caaw: Moawad/Vaughan registered the 3rd eagle in tournament history (245yd par-4 4th)… Trending: 6 of the last 11 editions have been claimed by Moawad; only 2 other golfers have won in the last 9 editions (W. Vargas, 2; D Vargas, 2); the outlier, Martin Witt in 2015… Tweet-tweet: Moawad collected the $5 birdie pot with his birdie on the 266-yard par-4 14th, pushing his career birdie pool earnings over $150.
