* -- Ben Polland played high school golf for Bloomington Jefferson. He is now the PGA Director of Golf at Shooting Star of Jackson Hole in Teton Village, Wyoming. He is not a member of the PGA Tour; so he is not listed on the official PGA Tour Money List, but he has played in PGA Tour events each of the last two weeks -- Cognizant Classic and Puerto Rico Open -- survivied both cuts and made $28,664. If he were a member of the tour, he would be No. 188 on the money list. Ben Warian, the former University of Minnesota star from Stillwater/Hill-Murray, is also not a PGA Tour member. He turned professional last year and is playing mostly mini-tour events. He did, however, earn a spot in the Puerto Rico Open, where he made $7,800. If he were a member of the PGA Tour, he would be tied for No. 120 on the money list.

Mike Fermoyle’s amateur golf career features state titles in five different decades, beginning with the State Public Links (1969), three State Amateurs (1970, 1973 and 1980), and four State Four-Ball championships (1972, 1985, 1993 and 2001). Fermoyle was medalist at the Pine to Palm in 1971, won the Resorters in 1972, made the cut at the State Amateur 18 consecutive years (1969 to 1986), the last being 2000, and amassed 13 top-ten finishes. Fermoyle also made it to the semi-final matches at the MGA’s annual match play championship, the Players’, in 1982 and 1987.

Fermoyle enjoyed a career as a sportswriter at the St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch before retiring in 2006. Two years later he began a second career covering the golf beat exclusively for the MGA and its website, mngolf.org, where he ranks individual prep golfers and teams, provides coverage on local amateur and professional tournaments and keeps tabs on how Minnesotans are faring on the various professional tours.
