The Top 3 finishers in the Championship Flight were among the 140 golfers that participated in the annual tournament.
“We are grateful for the overwhelming support from sponsors, golfers, and volunteers in making the 15th Annual NMC Foundation Open a very successful event. It was a great day of golf and we are happy to have had our governor and senate president also support the event by golfing,” NMC president Carmen Fernandez said.
