Matthew Kraus now has a collection of 4 Red Jackets! Kraus won the Red Putter Pro Tournament on Saturday, August 3rd at The Red Putter Mini Golf and became the first person to claim the champion title 4 times! He is also the first to do so three years in a row.

Kraus came out on top of a field of 84 players from all over the US who came to compete in the three round tournament. Kraus scored 32, 36 and 33 for a three round total of 101, which ties the record for low tournament score. Kraus not only won the Red Jacket, but also went home with $2000 and a nice trophy.
Matthew Kraus also took home the trophy for Best Single Game with his score of 32 in the first round.
After Kraus, there was a three way tie for second place. Bryan Akers, Gary Hester and Tim Tally all scored 110 and had to participate in a playoff. Tim Tally, the 2021 Champion, took second place after an exciting hole-in-one on hole #2, with a little help from The Log.

Akers and Hester continued to battle for the third place trophy, Bryan Akers aced Hole #4, The Wolf, to edge out Gary Hester.

To enter the tournament and join the Red Putter Pro Board, players had to qualify by scoring under par on the course. Players can now qualify for next year’s tournament, which will be held on Saturday, August 2nd 2025.
