Rebel Hits Jackpot

or former UNLV golfer Taylor Montgomery, the recent Major
Series of Putting was like a slot machine that continued to
pay off. Montgomery participated in several events during the
Fweek-plus competition and finished first to win $75,000 in
the Stroke Play Championship, which had a total purse of $250,000. He
split some of the winnings with some investors who paid his entry fee,
but he also cashed in some of the other events to win more.
“I’ve grown up playing in a lot of pressure situations with my dad
being at Shadow Creek,” says Montgomery, whose father, Monte, is the
GM at the famed Vegas course. Monte is also a former Rebel. “I’ve been
putting for money for a while, and I’ve seen some crazy stuff out there,
so it's kind of normal to me."
The Major Series of Putting is planning a return in 2018. There is at
least one golfer who can’t wait.
