Mike Bomberg Bombs his way to victory at Souhegan

🏆 Live Free Golf – Seth Dichard Classic @ Souhegan Woods Recap
The Seth Dichard Golf Classic is in the books—and this one turned into a true test of consistency, patience, and course management.

🥇 Champion
Mike Bomberg (E – 72)

A level-par round was all it took to claim the title, and that tells you everything about how tough the conditions played. Mike stayed steady all day, avoided big numbers, and separated himself as the only player in the field at even par or better.

🔥 Top Performers
T2 – Chris Pacia (+2, 74)

T2 – Rocky Lefort (+2, 74)

4th – Jim Tokanel (+3, 75)

A strong group right behind the leader, but ultimately just a couple shots short. Pacia and Lefort both made solid pushes, but couldn’t quite catch Bomberg’s clean round.

💪 Depth of the Field
A crowded +4 group (T5) featuring Brad Paszkiewicz, Andrew Paul, Robert Wenrich, and Scott Smith showed how tight things were just outside the top spots.

Familiar SDGC name Carl Boisvert finished T9 (+5) with another consistent performance.

A large group tied at +6 (T12), including Richard Dichard, highlighted how many players were right in the middle of the pack grinding out respectable rounds.

⛳ How It Played

No one went under par – a clear sign the course setup demanded precision.

The difference between contending and falling back came down to minimizing mistakes, not chasing birdies.

Scores stacked quickly, with just a few shots separating large portions of the field.

📊 Big Takeaways

Par was a premium score — and ultimately the winning number.

Consistency wins — Bomberg’s clean card proved more valuable than aggressive play.

Leaderboard compression — multiple ties throughout show just how competitive the field is this season.
