One competitor came from Europe. Three came from Canada.
The Matterhorn International Pro-Am, the annual miniature golf tournament at Matterhorn in Canton, is drawing competitors from across the globe. Miniature golf professionals from nine different states competed in the ninth annual event earlier this month.
Jeremy Inabinet, a professional from Illinois, won his first Matterhorn Pro-Am championship with two stroke win over two-time tournament champion Mark Novicki of Connecticut, 151-153.
Inabinet shot a tournament record 12-under-par 34 in the third round and had rounds of 37 or less in three of his four rounds on the course. The 34 tied an existing course record.
Novicki had very consistent rounds of 37, 38, 40 and 38 as he was seeking his second consecutive Matterhorn International Pro-Am champion.
Bryan Akers of Georgia finished third with a four-round total of 153 while Canadian Stephane Dulmaine was fourth with a 157. Inabinet, Dulmaine and New Jersey’s Griffin Weiss led the tournament with seven aces.
In the amateur division, Brandon Robinson of Providence, Rhode Island had two rounds of 40 to beat Mathieu Labrie of Canada by one stroke, 81-80. Hungary’s Balazus Tompa was third with an 84. Pros were allowed to compete in the amateur tournament if they had not placed in the top three in a previous Matterhorn Pro-Am event.
The Matterhorn Pro-Am is one of the 15 events on the WMF World Adventure Golf Tour and professionals earn points toward their tour ranking. The winner of the Matterhorn Pro-Am earned an automatic bid to the tour final in May 2026 in the United Kingdom.
The World Adventure Golf Tour has 15 events in 12 countries and the Matterhorn Pro-Am is one of two events in the United States. Other tour events are in Austria, Australia, Czech Republic, England, Finland, Germany, India, Portugal, Slovakia and Sweden.
This is the third year that Matterhorn Pro-Am has been on the world tour, according to Matterhorn owner Autumn Sutherland.
