In addition to Zach and Austin, their father Andy Barbin, PGA, and brothers Andrew Barbin, PGA, and Evan Barbin, competed in today’s event. 

Barbin went on to thank his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his mother, father, brothers, Manufacturers’ for hosting, the Section staff, his wife and newborn baby at home.
