| The Donald Ross Classic (Week 9) at the Sara Bay Country Club - 7/27/2015 |
 |
| Sam Chavez accepts his first place winners check from Sara Bay Assistant Professional Bryan Gorman. |
|   |
|
Bradenton, FL.
Week 9 on the West Florida Golf Tour was trying for the players for many reasons. The weather, soft conditions and very difficult green complexes were obstacles the winner was going to have to battle. When the dust finally settled on another successful event on the Summer Tour, it was Sam Chavez who felt right at home at Donald Ross's Classic Sara Bay. Chavez, who calls Sara Bay his home, led wire to wire and despite being tied through 2 rounds never looked threatened as he captured his first 3 day win on the WFGT. Several players threatened throughout the week, but no one was able to sustain a charge long enough to grab the title away from Chavez.
Finishing in solo second and still the most dominating player this summer on Tour, was Domenico Geminiani. His finish lengthened his lead on the money list to just over $4,000. The top 3 players on the money list will after the season ends will earn an additional $2,000. Here are the current standings:
