“The Greenbrier is truly a special place for the game of golf, and Christian Brand made this event a master class over four days,” said Astorg Auto General Manager Tyler Astorg.
“This has been a great week for amateur golf in West Virginia and we all congratulate Christian on this outstanding win,” said The Greenbrier’s Head Golf Professional Hill Herrick. “After first place, the rest of the leaders made it a close match.”
“This week is very special for golf in West Virginia and that’s because of the history of not only this event, but The Greenbrier Resort as well. And to our sponsors, Astorg Auto and United Bank, we couldn’t do this without them,” said WVGA Executive Director Chris Slack. “We had a record number of first-time participants and a champion who basically broke every record the West Virginia Amateur had. Christian’s week will be remember forever in West Virginia golf history.”
