After a dominating run through the [Pittsburgh City Tour](https://nextgengolf.org/app/regions/pittsburgh-golf-tournaments), where they won both tournaments by a combined 52 strokes in the best-ball format, they ended the summer as the #2 team in the country. After the #1 ranked team wasn't able to make it to Atlantic City, the honors (and target) went to the group from Pittsburgh. Part of their success might be a result of the team's simple best-ball strategy: "Have a lower score than all the other teams," team captain Derek Lingafelt said. Team FOD member Matthew Bryan finished as the #2 [ranked individual](https://nextgengolf.org/app/golf-tournaments/player-rankings/Summer-2016) on the City Tour, while Lingafelt is the #1 ranked individual that played more than 1 tournament (7th overall). The duo will be joined by fellow team members Jason Jones, Jake Machnik, Sean Meehan, and Dan Maier. The team is a mixof relatives, high school friends, and college buddies. One fun fact that ties them together is all but one attended the same high school, though it was within a 10-year window of time. "(We're) expecting to compete for the title of fewest strokes and most beers consumed," Lingafelt said.
