Chelsea Collura, Justin Sui Top GAM Tournament of Champions

By Greg Johnson

Chelsea Collura of Wyandotte won for the third time in the last four years, and Justin Sui of Lake Orion won for the first time since junior golf in the GAM Tournament of Champions at Oak Pointe Country Club.

Champions were invited for having won a 2024 GAM member club championship, a GAM title this season, or for being among the top golfers in GAM Player of the Year points.

Sui, 19, made consecutive birdies on holes 10 and 11 to survive a three-golfer playoff for the win. He shot a wild 4-under 67 in regulation play with nine birdies and five bogeys and was tied with two other 67-shooters, Jon Swint of Wyandotte and Michael Coriasso of Royal Oak.

Collura said she didn’t make many of her birdie chances but played steady golf.

“I hit a few close, didn’t make a ton of putts, but that was all right because tap-in pars are not a bad thing,” she said. “It was a good round. I had real good tempo and hit the ball well.”

Collura, a West Shore Golf & Country Club member, shot 70, slipping past host course member Erin Larson of Brighton, who shot 71.
