After an exciting win at the PNW PGA Assistant Championship down in Tualatin, Oregon on Monday 8/8, Derek played in an 18 hole Pro-Am over at Suncadia Prospector GC the next day (8/9).
Individually Derek finished 2nd with a 70. Although only a one day event, it is still a round of competitive golf which is where Derek's passion is. He enjoyed playing with the gentlemen on his team (Greg Naaco, Ken Devones, and Mark Kammerer), despite a T10 finish (135).

Washington Open Invitational
After a rough day on the course, derek shot a +4 to finish -3 for the tournament. This put him in a dissappointing tied for 7th place. His swing needs some work, and thankfully his putter helped him score the first two rounds. Unfortunately yesterday he couldn't get the rock to roll as well as the first two rounds.
Despite the dissappointing finish, Derek's friends and family were very excited to watch him in his debut as a professional. It definitely gave me chills at the first tee when they announced him as "Professional Derek Berg". And that is what he is, a professional. There are days when you make it look easy and days when you don't. Although yesterday was a day that was more of a grind, the season has just started and there are more tournaments around the corner.
The tournament raised half a million dollars for Camp Korey, which is the official charity of the tournament. For more info about this charity, please go to www.campkorey.org
Thank you for all the support!
