Fantastic weather set the stage for an outstanding day on the course, followed by a lunch catered by Texas de Brazil and an awards presentation recognizing this year's top performers.

The tournament was highlighted by an extraordinary new scoring record. The Frisco Economic Development Corporation-sponsored team of Thai Thong, Jeremy Carroll, Chad Berens and Neil Nesladek finished with a remarkable 54, or 18 under par — the lowest score ever recorded in the JASDFW tournament.

Finishing in second place was the B12 Consulting team of Terry Woods, Jay Eubanks, William Johnson and Earl Carty, who posted an impressive 57, or 15 under par.

Two teams tied for third place at 10 under par: The Original Pancake House DFW and Toyota Team 2.

Individual honors went to Neil Nesladek, winner of the Closest to the Pin competition, and Craig Fryer, who captured the Longest Drive title.

One of the day's most anticipated competitions was the Hole-in-One Contest on Hole #17, where golfers had the opportunity to win a Toyota Tundra. Although no player drove away with the vehicle this year, the contest generated plenty of excitement — and memories of the tournament two years ago, when an SMBC participant successfully made the winning hole-in-one and claimed the vehicle.

Beyond the competition, the tournament provided an opportunity for JASDFW members, partners and supporters to strengthen relationships while supporting the organization's mission of fostering deeper connections between North Texas and Japan.
