Dach Dominates at Whitetail Crossing, Field Stays Tight Behind
The 2025 Harvest Cup teed off in style this past weeks as players took on Whitetail Crossing and Redtail Landing Golf Courses in what proved to be an action-packed opening week. The Stableford format kept things aggressive, rewarding birdies and penalizing big numbers—leading to plenty of drama and standout performances across the board.
David Dach Sets the Pace Early
The story of Week 1 belongs to David Dach, who delivered a career-best performance at Whitetail Crossing. Dach carded a sizzling 79—his personal low round—to earn a commanding 39 Stableford points, placing him atop the leaderboard heading into Week 2. His confident play and clutch putting on the back nine gave him the edge, as he now holds the early solo lead in this year’s Harvest Cup.
Janes Steady in Second
Zachary Janes quietly put together a rock-solid performance, shooting an 83 at Whitetail Crossing and collecting 35 points. While Dach stole the headlines, Janes’ consistent ball striking and smart course management have him sitting in solo second place—just four points off the lead and well within striking distance heading into the next round.
Tight Battle for Third
Jon Shapka and Justin Marler both turned in strong efforts, each earning 33 points. Shapka impressed with an 81 at Whitetail, navigating the tough scoring conditions with poise. Meanwhile, Marler matched that scorecard at Redtail Landing, showcasing his all-around game and keeping himself right in the thick of the competition.
Woitas and Maschmeyer Knotted at Fourth
Alex Woitas and Kenton Maschmeyer each posted 31 points, tying them for fourth place. Woitas fired a 91 at Whitetail, managing to string together just enough scoring holes to keep pace with the field. Over at Redtail Landing, Maschmeyer carded an 87 in a gritty performance that kept him well within the top tier of the leaderboard.
Looking Ahead: Northern Bear and Redtail Landing
With week one in the books, all eyes now turn to Northern Bear and Redtail Landing for the upcoming weekend. The leaderboard is bunched up behind Dach, and with the volatility of Stableford scoring, no lead is ever safe. Expect aggressive play, bold decisions, and shifting standings as the 2025 Harvest Cup continues to heat up.
Stay tuned for next week’s recap as the battle for the Cup rolls into its second stage!
