The team of Suzanne Yarnall, Joan Leroy, Maggie Kril and Joy Florczak, posted a 61 to win the Low Gross Score title. Each member of the winning teams went h ome with a Vera Bradley bag.

In Flight 1, the team of Yarnall/Leroy/Kril/Florczak posted a net score of 56 to finish in first place, followed by the team of Caffarelli/Leonard/Romig/ Alvarez , who finished second with a net score of 59.

POWER MANAGEMENT CONGRATULATES PITTSFORD'S

DOMINIC BOZZELLI FOR HIS FIRST WEB.COM TOUR VICTORY

RDGA CORPORATE PARTNER RECENTLY

RE-SIGNED PLAYER TO ENDORSEMENT DEAL

On June 5, Rochester native Dominic Bozzelli secured his first Web.com Tour victory at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship. Bozzelli came in 24-under-par at the event which was held May 30 - June 5. This was a four-stroke victory over Roberto Diaz, Sam Ryder and Blake Adams.

With the win, the two-time RDGA Match Play Champion - who recently re-signed an endorsement contract with RDGA Corporate Partner Power Management - brings his rank to No. 6 on "The 25" list. The top 25 money winners at the end of the season are automatically awarded full playing privileges on the PGA Tour in 2017.

Bozzelli is eager to continue to progress towards that goal. "I know I've got the talent to finish with The 25, but if you get ahead of yourself that's when things kind of go astray," he said. "We're going to celebrate this one for sure, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to work and trying to have some more success in the future."

Bozzelli has made 5 cuts of the 9 events he played in this year and has had 3 Top 10 finishes. The 25-year-old Auburn University graduate and golf team star has been playing professionally since 2013. He is a two-time New York State Amateur Champion and Ping All-American. He is also a four-time NGA Tour winner and now Web.com Tour winner.

Since he started playing professionally, Dominic has been sponsored by local Rochester, New York based company Power Management.

When asked about his feelings on the recent victory he stated "It is an unbelievable feeling to win on the Web.com Tour and a moment that I'll remember forever. I am very fortunate to have so much support from family, friends and sponsors like Power Management, who care and have enabled me to pursue my lifelong dream."

Congratulations to Dominic Bozzelli, from Power Management and the RDGA!
