Amateur Players Tour - Orlando, 8701 World Center Dr, Orlando, FL (2026)

10/06/2026

On Saturday, October 3rd, the Orlando Chapter of the Amateur Players Tour officially returned to competition… and Mother Nature made sure our season opener came with an early audible.

Weeks of less-than-ideal weather forced The Autumn Chase at Stonegate to move from the Cypress Course to the Oaks Course. The team at Stonegate went above and beyond to accommodate the last-minute change, doing everything possible to give our players the best playing conditions available.

After a damp start to the morning, the skies began to clear… and the competition heated up.

If you were looking for drama in the battle for the Senior Net title at Stonegate… you had to look somewhere other than first place.

Pat Cronin (Central Pennsylvania) took the same round that earned him the Division 3 title and turned the Senior Net competition into something closer to a coronation.

Pat piled up two net eagles and six net birdies, leaving very little doubt about who would be taking home the trophy. By the time the scorecards were settled, Pat had cleared the field by a commanding eight shots.

So, with first place essentially spoken for, the real fight became the one happening behind him.

And that turned into a traffic jam.

Allen Moore (Orlando), David Densieski (Orlando) and Jim Davis (Orlando) all finished at +5 net, creating a three-way tie for second and an equal split of the runner-up prize money.

It nearly became even more crowded.

Pat LaPage (Orlando) finished just one stroke behind them, narrowly missing out on making it a four-way split.

So while Pat Cronin left Stonegate with little doubt about first place, everyone behind him made the Senior Net leaderboard considerably more complicated.

Eight shots between first and second. One shot separating second from fifth.

Sometimes the best battle isn’t for the trophy.

Sometimes winning doesn’t require fireworks. Sometimes it requires simply refusing to blink.

That was the story of the Mid-Am Net competition at Stonegate, where Mike Scheinman (Orlando) put together one of the steadiest rounds of the day.

Mike opened with a net 36. Then went out and did it again.

36 out. 36 in. Net 72.

And he needed nearly every bit of it.

Justin Kreutzer (Birmingham) stayed within striking distance throughout the day, but two costly net doubles ultimately became the difference. While Justin tried to close the gap, Mike simply kept putting pars on the card and forcing him to chase.

When the final scores were posted, that consistency had earned Mike a two-shot victory and the first Mid-Am Net title of the Orlando season.

Division 5 is quickly becoming one of Orlando’s most hotly contested divisions. Stonegate proved the new season won’t be any different.

Chris Davisson (Orlando) hadn’t touched a club in weeks. Apparently, practice is overrated.

Chris showed up and promptly played an opening nine with nothing worse than bogey, making the turn with a one-shot lead. Then, as golfers sometimes do when things are going entirely too well, Chris decided to start working on a few things during the round.

The rest of D5 thanks him for his service.

As Chris faded, cartmates Jim Davis (Orlando) and Pat LaPage (Orlando) took over the leaderboard.

Pat grabbed a two-shot advantage after a huge par on No. 14, but Jim battled back. By the time the two pals reached the 18th tee, they were deadlocked.
What followed can best be described (by the participants themselves) as a calamity of errors.
Pat made double. Jim made double, complete with a three-putt.

And after 18 holes of battling each other, apparently both had reached the same conclusion:

That’s enough golf for today.

No playoff. No sudden death. No extra holes required.

Jim and Pat walked into the clubhouse, metaphorically waved the white flag and announced they were perfectly content to share the trophy.

Two friends. Two matching scores. Two champions.

And perhaps the most Division 5 way imaginable to begin a new season.

After a damp start to the morning, the skies began to clear… and the competition heated up.

In Division 4, Brent Conlon (Orlando) entered the season as the defending Player of the Year… and apparently feeling a little extra pressure after becoming my first-ever No Mulligans Challenge selection.

Then he made triple on No. 1.

Brent was wincing. So was I.

But much like we saw throughout last season, Brent settled in and found a way to navigate the early-season nerves. By the turn, he had climbed back within a single shot of Paul Pimentel (Orlando).

Paul proved last season that he’s someone to watch in D4, collecting two wins in just four starts. Despite an up-and-down opening 47, he held the lead at the turn and stretched it to three by the 12th tee.

Then No. 12 struck again.

Paul’s triple, coupled with Brent’s bogey, suddenly cut the gap back to one. And from there, Brent took over.
He played his final six holes in just 3-over, steadily creating separation until a one-shot deficit had become a six-shot victory… the largest winning margin of any division at Stonegate.

For Brent, it’s now three APT victories in just six starts.

And for anyone wondering why I used my first No Mulligans pick on the defending Orlando POY? I think six shots says enough.

Brent earns me 10 points, matching Tiffany’s winning Pat Cronin selection.

After a damp start to the morning, the skies began to clear… and the competition heated up.

As the Orlando Chapter continues to grow, every new milestone means a little more.

Saturday at Stonegate brought another one: the largest field we’ve ever had in a single division.

And Division 3 delivered the competition to match.

Pat Cronin (Central Pennsylvania) has apparently discovered a recipe for success with one very important ingredient: Orlando.

Pat opened his 2026–27 season with a birdie, but five shots dropped over his next five holes quickly brought the field back into the fight.

He answered with a birdie on No. 9 to turn in 39. A double on the same hole by Andy Garrett (Orlando) gave Pat a one-shot advantage, with defending Player of the Year Mike Scheinman (Orlando) and Graham Chancey (Orlando) still within striking distance.

As Andy began to struggle on the back nine, Pat created some breathing room.

Then came No. 13. A triple bogey threatened to bring everyone right back into it.

Pat’s response? Birdie.

One hole later, the damage was erased… and that was the last opening he would give them. He closed with four consecutive pars, holding off Mike and Graham to improve to a remarkable 3-for-3 in trips to Orlando.

He closed last season with a victory at Orange Lake. He opened this one with another at Stonegate.

And there was one other winner in D3 on Saturday…

Pat was Tiffany’s pick in the debut of our No Mulligans Challenge, putting her first 10 points on the board!

In Division 2, what looked like a comfortable finish turned into a fight to the final putt.

Defending Orlando Division 2 Player of the Year Allen Moore set the early target. A strong opening nine of 38 gave Allen a two-shot advantage over Justin Kreutzer (Birmingham), but trouble was waiting after the turn.

A double on 10 and a triple on 12 erased Allen’s advantage and opened the door. Still, the defending POY wasn’t finished. A birdie on the closing hole gave Allen one last bit of hope as he headed to the clubhouse to wait.

Playing in the group behind, Justin stepped onto the 16th tee with what appeared to be a commanding five-shot lead. Then things got interesting.

Back-to-back doubles on 16 and 17 suddenly turned five shots into one.

Allen had hope. Justin had one hole left to protect his lead.

On 18, Justin steadied himself when it mattered most, rolling in his par putt to slam the door and escape Stonegate with a one-shot victory.

While officially representing the Birmingham Chapter, Justin has become something of an APT nomad… willing to travel wherever the competition, the courses and the opportunity take him.

This trip to Orlando paid off. The victory at Stonegate marks Justin’s third career APT win as he begins his fifth season on Tour.

Five shots became one. But one was all he needed.

After a damp start to the morning, the skies began to clear… and the competition heated up.

In Division 1, defending Senior North American Champion Matt Ross (Orlando) made his first start as an Orlando Chapter member.

Apparently, he brought his Arizona form home with him.

Matt battled his way around the Oaks Course with four birdies and four bogeys, but his biggest moment came on the par-3 12th where his tee shot found the water.

Suddenly, a clean scorecard was in danger of unraveling. Instead, Matt responded like a champion. After taking his penalty, he delivered a clutch up-and-down to escape with bogey, limit the damage and keep his round on track. From there, he never let it get away.

Four birdies. Four bogeys. Even-par 72.

And when the final putt dropped, Matt Ross was right where he left off at the Senior North American Championship… at the top of the leaderboard.

The victory gives Matt his 4th APT title in just 18 career starts and his first as a member of APT Orlando.

New season. New chapter.

Same Matt Ross.
