Gavin Cohen Claims Victory in Thrilling Final Round at OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois Championship

(Peoria, IL) - The final round of the OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois Championship has finally concluded under perfect weather conditions, making for an intense and exciting watch. The day began with Cooper Musselman, Hunter Eichhorn, and Gavin Cohen teeing off at 12:58 p.m. from hole 1, setting the stage for a gripping showdown.

Hunter Eichhorn took an early lead with a birdie on hole 4, but as the players approached the turn, Noah Woolsey and Gavin Cohen shared the lead. The back nine saw Woolsey and Cohen battling it out, exchanging the lead several times. Woolsey pulled ahead with a birdie on hole 15, only for Cohen to tie it up again with a birdie on 17.

The climax came on the 18th hole, where Woolsey bogeyed under pressure while Cohen remained calm and secured a par. This composure ultimately earned Cohen his first professional win, finishing the tournament at an impressive 23-under par total.

The final day of the championship was truly a showcase of skill and nerve, leaving spectators on the edge of their seats. As we wrap up this event, we extend our congratulations to Gavin Cohen on his remarkable victory.

Next, we will head to Texarkana, TX & AR, for the Texarkana Children Charities Open, with play starting on July 10-13. We look forward to another exciting week of golf.
