Next up in our Class of 2026: Griffin Vaughan!
@griff.vaughan is a fantastic player and always played great when it mattered most. He showed a lot of resilience in the recruiting process and his mental fortitude will pay off in a big way in college. We’re thrilled we were able to help him reach his goal of D1 golf.
Go Griffin!

Windy and firm conditions set the stage for an unforgettable week at the second TTC Patrick Cantlay Series Invitational of 2026 at Bear Creek Golf Club. The course played tough, but the competition rose to the occasion with clutch performances and back-to-back dramatic finishes.
The Boys division matched that intensity with a playoff of their own! Nathan Lee broke through to claim his first-ever Toyota Tour Cup victory, winning in a 2-hole playoff over Ben Matsuda. Ben had an outstanding showing, firing the low round of the tournament to finish solo 2nd at -1. Rounding out the leaderboard was a three-way tie for 3rd at even par between Maddox Pineda, Jayden Jun, and Kenyon Kahler, highlighting the depth of talent in the field.
The Girls division delivered a true battle, needing extra holes to decide a champion after 36 holes of play. Zoey Kim stepped up under pressure, securing her second Toyota Tour Cup victory with a clutch performance in a 2-hole playoff. Maggie (Jiayi) Ma and Ein Kim showed incredible resilience all tournament long, fighting their way into the playoff and ultimately finishing tied for 2nd at +3. Congratulations to all the girls on their tremendous play!
A huge thank you to Director of Golf Tim Gardner, PGA, Head Golf Professional Kim Schilling, PGA, and the entire team at Bear Creek Golf Club for their hospitality and for providing a championship-caliber venue.
A special thank you to Patrick Cantlay, his Foundation, and his partners Athene, Apollo, Titleist, Footjoy, Dewalt, Delta, SuperStroke, a for supporting the SCPGA Jr. Tour and the Toyota Tour Cup!
