2021 Joe Foster Open—FINAL RESULTS

The 48th annual Oceana Best Ball “Joe Foster” Open had a little bit of everything… and some of the same. Heat, humidity, brief rain, wind, and a 170 yard hole out on the #2 handicap hole for a skin on Saturday. Sunday brought about some of the “same” with Chris Griffin and Mike DeRuiter claiming the Championship for the second year in a row and third time in the last four years (2018, 2020, 2021). Shooting 66 and 63 for a 129, they bested the field by six shots. After the round, Griffin said how he was ready to take some time off for a bit after struggling his first eight holes on Sunday just before he birdied his ninth hole and proceeded to end up making six more birdies and an eagle to help his partner Mike DeRuiter to the win.
