Buzz Pilon Memorial

Event Recap

The Buzz Pilon Memorial made its annual pilgrimage to Williams, Arizona, and Elephant Rocks Golf Club delivered everything the tour has come to expect — elevation, pines, and enough wind to make a 14 handicap feel like a scratch player in reverse. Twenty-four players made the trip for the two-day team event, pairing up for a Saturday scramble before going individual on Sunday with combined scores determining the final standings.

When the dust settled, Dale Cohen and Eddie Manciet stood alone at the top. Cohen has been one of the most consistent players on the tour this season, and Manciet — playing a limited schedule — showed up at exactly the right time. Their combined net score of 65 on Sunday was the low number of the day and good enough to claim the title outright.

Chris Kazienko and Dan McGurren finished one back at 68, taking second place and the points that come with it. Rob Reedy and Brennon Shay rounded out the top three at 71, with Shay continuing what has been a quietly excellent 2026 season.

The skins game produced four winners across the two pools. Chris Kazienko claimed a gross skin on hole 2 with a birdie 2, Kevin Hall birdied hole 15 for his gross skin, and Mike Horsley birdied hole 16 to round out the gross pot — each worth $40. On the net side, Kazienko doubled up on hole 2, Tim Kartman went net eagle on hole 3, Dale Cohen posted a net 2 on hole 7, and Horsley added a net skin on hole 16 — each worth $30.

The Buzz Pilon Memorial has always been one of the tour's signature events, and the 2026 edition lived up to the name. Safe travels home, and see everyone at the Peoria Prestige.
