Jack Brockie appears to be comfortable being back in the Jackson area.
It showed in his golf game this weekend.
Brockie won his first major golf title in Jackson County shooting 137 – 7 under par – in winning the Jackson County Open at Cascades Golf Course.
The former two-time state champion at Hanover-Horton won the event by three strokes over Cody Lysher (140) and six shots over Steve Maddalena (143).
Brian Coon, Nick Reynolds, and Andrew Boldt finished tied for fourth with even-par 144s for the weekend. Coon shot the lowest round of the day in the championship flight with a 69.
Brockie helped Hanover-Horton win the state team golf title in Division 3 in 2018 and was an individual state champion in 2019. His high school career was cut short as MHSAA sports were canceled in 2020 due to Covid.
He spent two years playing golf at Trine University before taking a year off. Brockie went to Grand Valley State University and graduated from UT Southern near Nashville.
“I played a lot of great courses at UT,” Brockie said. “It made me a lot better (golfer) playing down there.”
The college graduate kept it simple this weekend on the golf course.
“It was a matter of not overthinking things … see the shot and hit the shot,” Brockie said. “I know what I can do.”
Lysher cut the lead to one stroke after shooting a 2-under-par 35 on the front nine. Brockie birdied 10 and a double bogey by Lysher on hole No. 14 gave him some breathing room.
Lysher finished the day with an even-par 72 and a second-place finish. Brockie finished at 137 – one stroke off the tournament record.
Nick Henman won the first flight with a two-day total of 147. He shot a 3-under-par 69 on Sunday. Kyle Bowler was second (151) and Andy Horodecki placed third (152).
Charlie Hagle won the second flight with a total of 159 and Jameson Vinson was second with 161 for two days.
