“This is a really big win for me,” said Cerbara. “I’m really excited and proud. It means a lot. My caddie (Chris Kehrer) helped me throughout the day, reading putts and doing all the things a good caddie does. Without him, I may not even be in the tournament. I’m really grateful for him.”
Next, Cerbara will compete in the Trusted Choice Big “I” National Championship at the Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst, North Carolina during August 5-8.
