Jeremiah Nelson made the most of his first-ever appearance in the Topeka Golf Association City Match Play event, going wire to wire to capture the championship.
Jeremiah Nelson poses with his championship trophy Sunday at Shawnee Country Club after winning the 2026 TGA City Match Play championship.
The former Washburn University golfer earned the top seed in qualifying with a 70 and posted four straight wins after receiving a first-round bye, capping his title run with a 4 and 3 win over Adam Head Sunday at Shawnee Country Club.
"I played really well today,'' Nelson said. "I had four birdies on the front and another one on the back, so I think I was 4-under through 15 holes and I thought I played pretty well.
"Adam just didn't enough putts to drop for him, but that's how match play goes."
