We have the answer: He’s the 2024 Champion!
The PGA Director of Golf at Shooting Star of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was the only player in the field to finish under par in brutal conditions to win the first-ever PGA Professional Championship contested at Fields Ranch at PGA Frisco. Polland tackled windy conditions on Fields Ranch East to seize victory over Jared Jones and Andy Svoboda by three shots.
After an early struggle on holes 4 and 5, Polland settled in with a birdie on the 7th hole. A clutch par putt on the challenging 13th hole at Fields Ranch East gave him some momentum, and a birdie at the par-5, 14th gave Polland the cushion he needed to get through the cauldron of leading the final round. Exquisite swings on the closing holes allowed the icy cool Polland to get both hands on the crystal. Congratulations Ben!!!
