Written By: Samantha Stein, Communications, Marketing, and Event Management Coordinator, PGA of Canada Atlantic

The 11th annual Cobra Puma PGA Atlantic Spring Pro-Am has come to a close, and what a phenomenal week it has been! With sunny skies and warm breezes each day, the conditions couldn’t have been more ideal for a memorable week of golf. 

This event simply wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our outstanding host, Cabot Cape Breton, and our exceptional partner, Cobra Puma Golf. Their dedication, generosity, and commitment to excellence have been instrumental in delivering a truly world-class event. We are deeply grateful for their continued partnership. 

The festivities began in exciting fashion with the Cobra Putting Challenge held under the lights on the 18th green at the Links. Amateur players from each team competed in a fun, fast-paced putting competition, each rolling three putts in a lively kickoff to tournament week. 

Round 1 - Cabot Cliffs

Round 1 teed off at 8:30 am with a shotgun start at the stunning Cabot Cliffs. Thanks to live scoring powered by Golf Genius, fans could follow the action in real time from anywhere. The tournament featured a 2 Net Best Ball Stableford scoring format, where professionals played their own balls and were eligible to contribute to their team's overall score. A full breakdown of scores can be found using the button below.

Team Tremblay (Professional Sebastien Tremblay, Mathieu Bourgeois, Alex Richard, Eric Leblanc) jumped out to an early lead, posting an impressive 87 points, while Team Landine (Professional Josh Landine, Colin Manning, Bryan Nugent, Scott Cowan) and Team Giggey (Professional Trevor Giggey, Shawn MacDougall, Jimmy Publicover, Mark Cameron) remained close behind with strong rounds of 85 and 82 points, respectively. 

In the Overall Professional Competition, Bradford Curren (Glen Arbour) led the charge with a stellar 41 points in Round 1. He was followed closely by Chris Bunting (Gage Golf Club) with 37 points, and Brett Wilson (West Hills), who posted a solid 36 points to stay in contention. 

Adding to the excitement, each round featured a “Play Boldly” Challenge Hole, sponsored by Cobra Puma Golf. A $300 gift card was awarded to every amateur who carded a birdie on hole #17 at the Cliffs and hole #6 at the Links. An impressive list of 20 amateurs birdied on hole #17 with a special shoutout to Team Tremblay, who had every team member win the Play Boldly challenge, a remarkable achievement! Notably, Eric Leblanc (Team Tremblay) went one better, recording an eagle on the challenge hole.  

In addition, a Longest Drive Contest was at play, where the longest drives on hole #12 (Links) & hole #10 (Cliffs) won a DS-ADAPT Driver.
