2026 BC Tour Standings

Easton, PA — June 21, 2026 — Championship golf often comes down to a handful of shots. At Riverview Golf Club, it came down to one.

Under sunny skies, warm temperatures, and a gentle summer breeze, a strong field of BC Tour competitors gathered for another highly anticipated Sunday showdown. The conditions were ideal, the course was inviting, and the competition proved every bit as challenging as expected.

From the opening holes, the leaderboard remained tightly packed. Several players mounted serious challenges throughout the day, producing one of the season's most competitive events. Every group featured moments of brilliance, and no lead felt secure.

When the dust settled, however, it was Chris DeNardo who once again demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the BC Tour's most dependable competitors.

Known for his steady temperament and disciplined approach, DeNardo assembled a complete round from tee to green. He avoided costly mistakes, capitalized on scoring opportunities, and maintained his composure as the pressure intensified down the stretch.

His reward was a hard-fought one-stroke victory over Jim Case, who remained within striking distance until the final holes. Several other contenders also finished only a few shots back, highlighting both the depth and quality of the field.

Following the round, DeNardo credited both the course and his fellow competitors.

"The course was in very good shape, and the competition was fierce," he said. "There were a lot of players in the mix all day. I just tried to stay focused on my game, take one shot at a time, and fortunately things worked out in the end."

The victory adds another Championship Belt to DeNardo's impressive BC Tour résumé, but perhaps more importantly, it came against a field that pushed him from the first tee to the final putt.On a day when many players produced outstanding golf and several were within reach of the title, DeNardo's consistency proved to be the difference.

Congratulations to Chris DeNardo on an excellent victory at Riverview Golf Club and on capturing the BC Tour Championship Belt in one of the season's most closely contested events.

Mount Pocono, PA — June 14, 2026 — Nestled among the rolling ridges and towering pines of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, Mount Airy Golf Club has long been recognized as one of the region's premier tests of golf. On Sunday, Lynn Grube met that challenge head-on and left with the BC Tour Championship Belt for the second consecutive week.

Eight BC Tour competitors teed off under warm sunshine and near-perfect summer conditions. While the weather was inviting, Mount Airy's demanding layout required precision, patience, and smart course management from the opening hole to the final putt.

Grube delivered all three.

From the outset, his game displayed the consistency that has become his trademark. Fairways were found, approach shots were controlled, and mistakes were kept to a minimum. Although one difficult hole briefly threatened to derail his momentum, Grube quickly regrouped and settled back into a rhythm that the rest of the field struggled to match.

As the round progressed, it became increasingly clear that the competition would need something special to catch him. Grube remained composed, navigating the mountain layout with confidence and steadily building the performance that would secure another victory.

Following the round, Grube credited both the course conditions and his ability to stay focused throughout the day.

"The course was in very good condition," he said. "The warmer temperatures really didn't affect play. I felt comfortable out there, stayed patient, and played well for most of the round."

The victory marks Grube's second consecutive BC Tour title, a feat that underscores both the quality of his recent play and his growing presence atop the season leaderboard. Winning once requires a strong round. Winning back-to-back against a competitive field requires consistency, confidence, and the ability to handle expectations.

On a beautiful afternoon in the Pocono Mountains, Lynn Grube demonstrated all three.

Congratulations to Lynn Grube on an outstanding performance and his second straight BC Tour Championship Belt victory at Mount Airy Golf Club. As the season moves forward, the question facing the rest of the field is becoming increasingly clear: who will be the player to end Grube's championship run?

 Monroe County, PA — June 7, 2026-  Championship golf often demands power, precision, and perseverance. At Great Bear Golf Club, the acclaimed Jack Nicklaus design nestled in the Pocono Mountains, Lynn Grube brought all three.

Under warm sunshine and clear skies, eight BC Tour competitors arrived at one of the region's premier golf destinations, knowing that Great Bear would provide a stern examination of every aspect of their game. With its rolling terrain, strategically placed hazards, demanding rough, and pristine fairways, the course offered little room for error.

From the opening tee shot, Grube appeared locked in.

His driving was a model of consistency throughout the day, repeatedly finding fairways and setting up manageable approach shots. While others battled the course's challenging rough and difficult recovery situations, Grube's disciplined course management kept him in control. More importantly, he displayed the patience and focus that often separate champions from contenders.

As the round progressed and the competition intensified, Grube continued to execute. Fairway after fairway. Green after green. One steady swing after another.

When the final putts were holed and the scorecards signed, it was Grube standing atop the leaderboard, adding another impressive chapter to his growing BC Tour résumé.

Speaking afterward, Grube credited both the course and a reliable driver for the victory.

"I thought the course was in very good condition," he said. "The rough was definitely challenging, but if you stayed in the fairway, the course was fair. My driver really worked for me all day, and I was pleased with the way I played."

Those simple words reflected a performance built on fundamentals—accuracy, discipline, and confidence under pressure.

Winning at Great Bear carries special significance. Designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, the course has earned a reputation as one of Pennsylvania's finest layouts, rewarding thoughtful strategy as much as raw talent. On this day, Grube mastered both.

As the BC Tour season continues, one thing has become increasingly clear: whenever Lynn Grube steps onto the first tee, he is a serious threat to leave with the Championship Belt.

Congratulations to Lynn Grube on an outstanding victory at Great Bear Golf Club. His combination of precision, patience, and championship composure proved the difference on one of the finest stages the BC Tour visits all season. 

 East Stroudsburg, PA — May 31, 2026-Under brilliant sunshine and a warm mountain breeze, twelve BC Tour players gathered at The Poconos Club for what would become one of the most demanding and memorable rounds of the season.

Set against the backdrop of the Pocono Mountains, the course presented a stern test. Rolling terrain, narrow fairways, and strategically placed hazards required players to think their way around the course as much as they swung their clubs. What began as a beautiful afternoon soon evolved into an endurance contest, with the round stretching nearly six hours—one of the longest in BC Tour history.

Through it all, Chris DeNardo never lost his focus.

Displaying the steady, disciplined style that has become his trademark, DeNardo pieced together an outstanding round from tee to green. His driving kept him in position, his approach shots found targets, and his short game repeatedly answered the challenges posed by difficult pin locations.

The strongest challenge came from Paul Duda, who mounted several charges throughout the afternoon. Time and again, Duda applied pressure, threatening to overtake the lead. Yet each time the momentum appeared to shift, DeNardo responded with the composure of a champion, matching every challenge and preserving his advantage.

After securing the Championship Belt, DeNardo reflected on both the course and the competition.

“The course played long from the white tees,” he said. “The fairways were tight, the greens were slow, and the pin placements made you earn every shot. I felt Paul pushing me all day. He played great golf, and honestly, I fed off that energy. It kept me focused from start to finish.”

As the sun began to settle over the Pocono Mountains and the final scorecards were signed, DeNardo stood atop the leaderboard once again—battle-tested and deserving.

In a round defined by perseverance, precision, and pressure, Chris DeNardo proved that championship golf is often less about avoiding challenges and more about answering them.

Congratulations to Chris DeNardo on an outstanding victory and for capturing the BC Tour Championship Belt at The Poconos Club.

 Pocono Manor, PA — May 17, 2026 — Some championships are won early. Others demand every shot, every putt, and every ounce of composure until the very end. At Pocono Manor, this one came down to the final hole.

Under warm sunshine and blue skies, twelve BC Tour players arrived at one of the region’s classic layouts knowing the day would provide both opportunity and challenge. Pocono Manor rewarded confidence off the tee but offered little margin for error, and throughout the round the leaderboard remained tightly packed.

As the final holes unfolded, two familiar names had separated themselves from the field—Paul Duda and Dave Smith.

Shot after shot, neither player blinked.

The championship stood even as both competitors walked to the final tee, the tension building with every step. Then came the defining moment.

Duda stepped up and delivered under pressure, launching a towering drive that found the center of the green and immediately shifted the momentum of the match. With Smith applying pressure to the very end, Duda remained steady and converted the par that ultimately secured the Championship Belt.

After the round, Duda reflected on a day when execution and patience carried the difference.

“The course was in very good shape and the competition was tight all day,” Duda said. “I had some really good drives, and my putting was there today. When it gets that close, you just try to trust your game and stay committed to every shot.”

Those who have played alongside Duda know his style well—steady, measured, and unshaken when the pressure rises. On this day, that approach proved decisive.

As scorecards were finalized and the players gathered around the newly crowned champion, the feeling was clear: this was one of those BC Tour finishes that players remember long after the final putt drops.

Congratulations to Paul Duda on an outstanding performance and for capturing the BC Tour Championship Belt at Pocono Manor 

Stroudsburg, PA — May 3, 2026 — On a brisk spring day at Glen Brook Golf Club, where the breeze lingered and the margins proved razor-thin, Ken Carey emerged from one of the tightest finishes of the BC Tour season to claim the Championship Belt.

Twelve players took to a course that demanded both power and precision. Glen Brook’s layout rewarded length off the tee, but it was discipline and touch around the greens that ultimately defined the outcome. From the opening holes, it was clear this would not be decided easily.

By the final putt, it wasn’t.

Carey and Ty Pagotto stood deadlocked atop the leaderboard, their rounds mirroring one another in consistency and resolve. With no separation after 18 holes, the result came down to a match of cards—golf’s quiet but unforgiving tiebreaker. There, Carey found the narrow edge, posting the better score on the course’s most difficult hole to secure the victory.

Afterward, Carey reflected on a round that required patience and execution at every turn.

“The course was tight, and so was the competition,” he said. “The greens were moving, but my chipping and putting really held up. It was one of those days where you had to stay focused the whole time. But more than anything, it was a great group—lots of laughs out there.”

The victory, earned through composure under pressure, adds another memorable chapter to the BC Tour season. Pagotto’s performance pushed Carey to the limit, underscoring the depth of competition that continues to define this field.

As the wind carried across Glen Brook and the final scores were tallied, it was Ken Carey who stood tallest—belt in hand, his name now firmly etched among the season’s champions.

 Kunkletown, PA — April 26, 2026 -Under a sky that shifted from gray to brilliant blue, the BC Tour gathered at Hideaway Hills Golf Course for a round that would reward patience, precision, and quiet resolve. By day’s end, it was Lynn Grube who stood alone, securing the Championship Belt with a composed and methodical performance.

Eleven players took to the course in the morning chill, the clouds lingering just long enough to add a hint of uncertainty. As the weather cleared, so too did the leaderboard—and Grube’s game never wavered. From the opening tee shot to the final putt, he delivered a steady, controlled round, avoiding mistakes and capitalizing on opportunity.

Pressure came in waves. Dave Smith and Paul Duda both mounted strong challenges, keeping the margin razor-thin throughout. But Grube answered each test with discipline, holding his line and closing the door with a two-stroke victory over Duda, and three over Smith. Afterward, Grube spoke with the calm confidence that defined his round.

“The course was in great shape, and once the weather broke it set up nicely,” he said. “I knew it was tight all day. I just stayed within myself and trusted the way I was playing. I felt strong through all 18.”

The competitive edge didn’t end with the final scorecard. At the awards ceremony, a lighthearted moment added a touch of theater to the afternoon. Grube, newly crowned, offered a few “tips” to his closest challengers—prompting a spirited response from Duda, who joked about postponing a long-planned vacation to seek immediate redemption next Sunday.

Whether that challenge materializes remains to be seen. What is certain is this: on a day that demanded composure and consistency, Lynn Grube delivered both—and left Hideaway Hills with the Championship Belt in his possession.

 Allentown, PA — April 12, 2026 — The BC Tour reached a new milestone on Sunday as twelve players gathered at Allentown Municipal Golf Club for the inaugural BC Tour Major Championship, a day that blended competition, camaraderie, and meaningful new tradition.

The morning began just a few miles away at Town & Country Restaurant in Bath, where players shared the Champions Breakfast—a fitting prelude to an event designed to carry greater weight. From there, the field moved to Allentown Municipal under bright blue skies, cool spring air, and a light breeze—conditions well-suited for championship golf.

Before a single shot was struck, the tone of the day was set. Keith Faust stepped forward to perform the first official ringing of the Ripple Bell, offering a heartfelt tribute to absent friends and relatives. The moment brought a quiet pause over the group—one of reflection, respect, and connection—before giving way to the competition ahead.

Once underway, the course proved equal to the occasion. The greens were fast and true, the fairways firm and well-defined, and the pace of play matched the energy of the day. Early on, the leaderboard remained tightly contested, with several players sharing position through the front nine. But as the round turned to the back—where Allentown Municipal demands both discipline and execution—it was Dave Smith who began to separate himself, incrementally, shot by shot. Facing steady pressure from Jim Case, Smith delivered when it mattered most. A closing stretch highlighted by three birdies and two composed pars proved decisive, allowing him to secure the Championship Belt with a score of 88—and the distinction of becoming the BC Tour’s first Major Champion—by a single stroke.

After the round, Smith reflected with measured satisfaction. “You could feel the importance of the day from the start,” he said. “The course was outstanding, the competition was strong, and once we made the turn, every shot mattered. I just tried to stay focused and give myself chances. Fortunately, a few of them fell.”

Case, who pressed throughout, remained within striking distance until the final holes, underscoring the level of competition that defined the day.

In the end, the inaugural Major delivered on its promise—high-level play, a meaningful new tradition in the Ripple Bell, and a finish that required both skill and composure.

As the group gathered following the round, there was a shared sense that something had been established—something that will carry forward.

The BC Tour Major Championship has arrived.

Allentown, PA — March 2026 — There are days in golf when the elements shape the story as much as the players. At Shepherd Hills Golf Course, this was one of them.

Cold temperatures and persistent wind greeted the field from the opening tee. The conditions proved demanding throughout, asking for patience, adaptability, and steady focus. Early-season play often carries its own variables, and this round was no exception.

Ahead of play, the group had agreed that players 65 and older would utilize senior teeing areas. With standard tee markers unavailable on the course, players did their best to interpret appropriate positions. As the round unfolded, it became clear that interpretations varied across groups—an understandable outcome given the circumstances and one that will no doubt inform future clarity in setup.

The competition itself remained closely contested. Following the round, a rules situation involving Dave Smith and Chris DeNardo was carefully reviewed. In the spirit of the game and its longstanding standards, the appropriate adjustment was applied. With that resolution, Paul Duda, who had posted a 92, was recognized as the day’s winner and awarded the Championship Belt.

Days like this serve as a reminder of golf’s unique demands—not only of skill, but of judgment, integrity, and mutual respect. With the season still young, the BC Tour moves forward with renewed perspective and, perhaps, an eye toward calmer skies ahead.

Douglassville, PA — March 21, 2026 — Chris DeNardo delivered one of the most complete performances of the early season, firing a near-flawless round at Arrowhead Golf Course to capture the Championship Belt.

On a layout made more demanding by saturated fairways and soft conditions, DeNardo separated himself with precision and control. His drives were consistently long and accurate, his iron play sharp, and his putting steady throughout. While others struggled to adjust, DeNardo remained composed—an attribute that has become a hallmark of his game.

“The course was very wet,” DeNardo said after the round. “My pants are headed straight for the wash, and my shoes will need some work. But the competition was strong, and I was able to rise to the challenge.”

Known for both his poise under pressure and his polished on-course presence, DeNardo’s victory reinforces his status as a central figure on the BC Tour.

Congratulations to Chris DeNardo on securing the Championship Belt at Arrowhead!

Phillipsburg, NJ — March 14, 2026 — Terry Bartholomew powered through difficult early-season conditions to capture the Championship Belt at Harkers Hollow Golf Course, posting the low round of the day despite cold temperatures and stiff winds.

Bartholomew remained composed throughout the round, relying on steady shot-making and disciplined course management to separate from the field. His focus paid off, as he secured the victory by a comfortable three-stroke margin. “The course was wet and swampy in spots,” Bartholomew said after the round. “The wind definitely affected some shots, and there was strong competition out there.”

The win marks an impressive performance in challenging conditions and gives Bartholomew early momentum as the Breakfast Club Tour season continues.

Congratulations to Terry Bartholomew on an excellent victory in the second week of competition.

Fleetwood, PA — March 8, 2026 — Paul Duda opened the new season in commanding fashion, capturing the Championship Belt with the low round at Rich Maiden Golf Course on Sunday.

Duda displayed steady composure and sharp shot-making throughout the round, edging a tightly packed field in a competitive finish. Strong challenges came from Jim Case and defending belt holder Chris DeNardo, both of whom applied pressure late but ultimately finished just one stroke behind.

“The course was in great shape and the conditions were nearly ideal,” Duda said following the round. “The pace was excellent. I just tried to stay within myself and play my game. I didn’t really feel much pressure from the other contenders.”

The victory marks an impressive start to the 2026 season and places the Championship Belt firmly in Duda’s possession heading into the next event.

Congratulations to Paul Duda on winning the first contest of the new season!
