CLUB PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - PLAYERS TO WATCH

Two-time champion Dean Claggett of Two Eagles Golf Course and Academy will be looking to become the event's first ever three-time winner. Claggett carded a T11 finish at the PGA of BC Championship, and will be coming in good form to a course that fits his game well.
