• COURSE: Arroyo Seco, South Pasadena
• CHECK IN TIME: 7:15am – Saturday, May 10
• FIELD: Moawad, T. Joe, Stolz, Fidler, D. Vargas, Vaughan, W. Vargas, Krieg
• STORYLINES: After last year’s special match play edition, it’s back to the traditional modified stableford scoring format. Last year was Tim Joe’s first ever Hooters victory and first since 2018 for partner Chris Moawad, who moved into a tie with Martin Witt for most victories. Teams will be determined by a blind draw. Gerry Vaughan will pick first and can choose whether to keep his pick or return the pick and let Eric Stolz choose next, followed by newcomer Jonathan Krieg. The Tour returns to South Pasadena’s Arroyo Seco for the first time since 2019 (Walter Vargas/Clint Crump winners). A win Saturday would make it 3 wins in his last 3 Tour starts for Chris Moawad.
