23rd annual tournament, played in memory of Peter Stocker, will be played in Wine Country this year
FOUR PLAYERS TO WATCH
HERBIE AIKENS
This first-time Stocker Cup player won the
Massachusetts Public Links this summer,
and
followed it up with his second straight win in
the
Mass. Mid-Am. In the Mid-Am, his title
defense came
down to the wire where Aikens made an all-
world
par from the tall stuff on the last hole.
BRADY EXBER
This seven-time Southern Nevada Golf
Association
Player-of-the-Year had played fantastic golf
in 2014,
winning the British Senior Amateur and
placing
second at the Canadian Senior Amateur. He
followed
those two performances with back-to-back
victories
at the prestigious senior events The Azalea
Senior
and The Yeamans Hall Invitational. At the
Azalea
Senior, it was Exber’s amazing fourth-
straight
victory. That’s Tiger-like event domination.
JOHN SAWIN
Sawin, the reigning Stocker Cup champion,
is a four-
time club champion at Merion Golf Club near
his
alma mater Princeton University in
Philadelphia. He
has also earned club champion honors from
San
Francisco Golf Club in 2013 and was
victorious this
year, winning the Pennsylvania State
Amateur at the
famed Oakmont.
KEVIN WOLF
Wolf blistered the field at U.S. Mid-Amateur
sectional
qualifying, shooting a course-record 62 at
Spring
Creek Golf Club in Ripon, Calif. The number
was
seven better than any other player that day.
His
qualification lead to a round-of-16 run at
Saucon
Valley where he lost 4-and-2 to the eventual
champion Scott Harvey. View a complete list

The Stocker Cup, played in memory of Peter Stocker, has been held each October at The Preserve Golf Club in Carmel since 2000. The severe drought in 2014 has limited that venue’s ability to host the tournament, and Sonoma Golf Club was chosen as the host venue. The field is comprised of 50 world- class mid-amateur invitees, (A players) who play an individual 54-hole stroke play competition and simultaneous team event. For the team portion of the event, the A players are paired with a B player (handicap 0-12.5) who include relatives and associates of the late Peter Stocker, as well as participants invited by the A players. The Stocker Cup is a Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings points event, as well as a World Amateur Golf Rankings and SPAWAR counting tournament. AmateurGolf.com will be on site throughout the tournament, providing daily coverage; be sure to check back in with us to keep up with the action.
