Monroe Township, NJ (October 3, 2017)—Forsgate Country Club congratulates Frank Esposito Jr., a member of its Teaching Professional staff, on winning the 29th Senior PGA Professional Championship held at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona.

This marks the second time in four years that Esposito captured the prestigious championship title, and he did it in dramatic fashion by chipping in for eagle on the final hole for a five-stroke victory. In shooting a final round 68, Esposito finished at 12-under par to claim the $21,500 winner’s check.

Esposito competed against an elite field of 264 Club Professionals who qualified for the championship. His win also earned him a spot in the 2018 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.

“The entire club congratulates Frank on his outstanding Senior PGA Championship win over the weekend and we applaud the style of play he showed around the difficult Desert Mountain course,” said Chris Schiavone, President of RDC Golf Group which owns Forsgate Country Club. “He’s a great champion and we are fortunate to have Frank on staff here.”

Esposito is enjoying another successful year of competition. In June, he won the 2017 New Jersey PGA/New Jersey State Golf Association Senior Open Championship title.

He also is a five-time NJPGA Player of the Year, a two-time NJ Open champion and a Senior Club Pro Champion.
