Ross Miller (Maple Grove, MN) has been named the 2017 North Star Tour Player of the Year! Miller sealed the season long points race victory with a sudden death playoff victory at the Tour Championship at The Jewel Golf Club in Lake City.  Not only did Miller win the Tour Championship, but he did so on a difficult side of the tournament bracket. Miller defeated North Star Open Champion and MN PGA Money list leader, Brent Snyder, and a red hot Dakota Clark (who recently finished just 1 shot out of a playoff at the Fargo Brewing Cabin Classic). Miller's final match of the championship was against Charlie Boyechko of Winnepeg, Manitoba. Both players did not allow the other to be more than "1 up" on the other for 19 holes. Miller was crowned as the match play winner in the end. Impressively, Boyechko finished runner up in his only two starts this season.

Ross Miller tallied up $3477.50 in North Star Tour winnings in 6 starts this year. Which added up to a 6th place finish on the money list. But playing consistently all year and winning an event at the right time allowed Miller to vault his way up the points list (previously ranked #8). The North Star Tour Player of the Year is rewarded with a free exemption into all regular season events for the following year. The value of that prize is over $2,000 in entry fees and allows a free shot at plenty of prize money at each event. Hudson Carpenter (2016 Player of the Year) turned his exemption opportunities to a $8,000+ value after playing well in 5 of the NS Tour events in the 2017 schedule.

Ross Miller's North Star Tour season in order:
-62, 2nd Place (w/Julian Ramirez) - 2-Man Best-Ball @ The Wilds GC
-72,67,74, 15th Place - Memorial Classic @ Mississippi National GL
-70,72, Tied 6th Place - North Star Open @ Dellwood CC
-78, Tied 13th Place - Pony Pro/Am @ Stillwater CC
-71,71, Tied 7th Place - Fargo Brewing Cabin Classic @ Thumper Pond GC
-Champion - North Star Tour Championship Matchplay @ The Jewel GC

Be sure to stay tuned for 2018 schedule updates. We plan on changing a couple of our tournament dates for next year as well as adding to our schedule.

Thanks for an awesome summer of tournament play,

-Kyle and John @ The North Star Professional Golf Tour
