It was a competitive field for the 2022 U.S. Professional Hickory Golf Championship on Monday, Feb. 21. Daytona professional Thomas Garnier carded a fine 73 to have his name affixed to the John Shippen Cup dedicated to America’s first golf pro. The Oscar Bunn trophy goes to Eddie Peckels of Winter Springs who also recorded a 73. Oscar Bunn was a Shinnecock Indian who played in the first U.S Open along with Shippen in 1895. Jim Antos won the Heritage Trophy with a net score of 67.

This was the 12th edition of the championships. The Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club, opened in 1922 and laid out by noted architect Tom Bendelow, was a stout test for the century-old clubs used.
