Course Insight

Atlantic Beach Country Club, which opened in 2015, is a rebirth of Selva Marina Country Club in Atlantic Beach. Erik Larsen, a former associate of Arnold Palmer’s design firm and an Atlantic Beach resident, designed an entirely new course on the site, with one exception—the par-5 18th hole remained intact. That’s where Jack Nicklaus made the only double eagle of his PGA TOUR career in 1966, one of two years in the mid-1960s that Selva Marina hosted the Jacksonville Open. The new course incorporates North Florida ecology, with fairways bordered by fescue grasses and non-irrigated areas of sand.

How Emiliano Grillo Won 2015

Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo holed a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at TPC Sawgrass – Dye’s Valley Course to emerge the winner in a tight final-round duel with PGA TOUR veteran Chez Reavie. The two were never separated by more than one stroke from the third hole on, with the lead changing hands twice before Reavie squared it with a birdie on No. 16. Grillo, who got into the Web.com Tour Finals based on his performance on the PGA TOUR as a non-member in 2015, finished with a 1-under 69 and total of 266 thanks to his birdie on 18. Reavie shot a 69, and his second-place finish secured him the top spot in The Finals and fully exempt status on the PGA TOUR in 2016. Earlier in The Finals, he won the Small Business Connection Championship. Sam Saunders finished third, two strokes back, after a 67.
