2022 County Four-Ball

The Sacramento County 4-Ball Championship was held at Mather Golf Course on October 22-23 and 29-30, 2022, with ideal weather conditions both weekends. A qualifying round was held on October 22 to determine the 32 teams to advance to match play on October 23. After the first round of match play, successive matches were help on October 29 – morning and afternoon – and October 30 – morning and afternoon – with the final match on the afternoon of October 30.

The final two teams, defending champions, Marc Engellenner and his partner Bobby Bucey, faced their opponents Reese Sato and Julian Monas. Sato and Monas started the final round birdie, eagle to forge a 2 up lead after two. The match remained 2 up until the 9th hole when Bucey birdied to close the gap. Sato and Monas remained 1 up until the 14th hole when Engellenner birdied to square the match. Engellenner proceeded to birdie 15 and 16 to go two up with two holes to play. Sato made a 25 foot birdie putt on the 17th hole, but Engellenner sank a 10-footer for birdie to tie the hole and win the match 2 & 1.

Many thanks go to the Mather Golf Course staff. The course was in excellent condition with many positive comments from the players. Thanks also go to Sacramento Golf Council members, Mike Fleming, Steve Yates, Peggy Chan, Mark Perry, Larry Glasmire and Janice Luis.
