Plymouth Meeting, Pa. (August 22, 2023) — Over the course of a beautiful afternoon at the 1912 Club, PGA Member Jeff Breiner of the C.C. of Harrisburg in Harrisburg, Pa., led his team of amateurs, Matthew Monaghan, Paul Fisher, and Kameron Page, to victory in the 2023 DeAngelis Pro-Am. The event was created by the DeAngelis family and the Philadelphia PGA Section to pay tribute to Don DeAngelis, an accomplished PGA Member and player, who passed in January 2022.

DeAngelis was elected to PGA Membership in 1978, and played the game with immense talent, winning the 1985 Pennsylvania Open and playing in the 1978 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colo., and winning a Section tournament in six straight decades. His most recent win was in September 2021, when he won the 2021 Philadelphia Senior PGA Professional Championship’s Super Senior Division, and also shot his age, a 69.
