GALLOWAY, OH — In a thrilling finale to the Golden Jacket tournament, Bobby Leitz emerged victorious, narrowly securing the coveted title. Leitz, who held strong through every round, finished atop the leaderboard with a commanding performance that left competitors chasing his steady pace and precision.

Leitz started the tournament slowly, carding a 91 points in Round 1. He struggled early, with two double bogeys and just two pars left him scrambling at the turn. But a circle par on the par-5 10th and a stronger finish that included a par on the tight 16th and 18th showed signs of what was to come.

But it was final round where Leitz cemented his legacy.

He posted a tournament-best 115 points, playing the front nine in just 40 strokes, his best nine-hole stretch of the week. Leitz was dialed in from the start—his front nine featured four pars and birdies at both the 6th and 7th holes. He followed with a steely back nine that included a clutch par on the treacherous 18th that left the rest of the field chasing.

On the flip side, Dane Wiese had a rough outing—not for his golf, but for his sartorial choice. Sporting an outfit reminiscent of the classic Carl Spackler Open ensemble, Wiese’s look became the talk of the clubhouse. Unfortunately, the attention wasn’t flattering: he drew more laughs than admiration, earning the unofficial title of “loser” in the style stakes. Wiese’s bold yet misguided homage to the iconic outfit ended up stealing headlines—for all the wrong reasons.
