Ladies and gentlemen your 2011 WNYPGA Professional Champion is Liam Friedman! The Assistant Professional from Orchard Park CC posted a 2 round total of -6 to take first place. Liam battled with Tim Fries of Transit Valley CC in the final pairing as he gave him an early head start in the second round having a few tough starting holes. However, the turning point for Liam was when he birdied 11 to take the lead again and he never looked back.
