DOURIS PULLS OFF DOUBLE-SWEEP IN US/WORLD GOLF TEACHERS CUPS

James Douris, World and US Golf Teachers Cup ChampionIt wasn’t too long ago that James Douris didn’t have a single WGTF title to his name. Starting in 2006, when he won the United States Golf Teachers Cup for the first time, Douris seemingly cannot be contained.

By winning his fourth US Cup title and first World Cup individual championship at the United States and World Golf Teachers Cups at Orange County National in Orlando, Florida, this past October 11-14, Douris has firmly established himself as the WGTF’s best player. In the process, Douris tied Christopher Richards’ two-round record score in winning the World Cup individual title with 69-68 – 137. He has won the last four US Cups in which he’s played (he chose not to defend his titles in 2008 or 2010), and finally broke through with his maiden victory at the World Cup.

He joins Dave Belling, Mark Harman, and Richards as the only ones to win both the US and World Cup individual titles. With Belling and Harman approaching their 50th birthdays in the next couple of years, it appears that Richards and a new generation of WGTF players will have to rise up to challenge the recent domination Douris has pulled off.

In the United States Golf Teachers Cup, Douris overcame a first-hole triple bogey to win with 73-69, besting runners-up George Wilson and Matt Smith by two shots.
