The Committee is proud to introduce 2009 Pineapple Cup Defending Champion Jeff Wilson. Jeff lives in Birmingham, AL, although will soon claim Charleston, SC as his home. As you would expect from a champion effort, Jeff compiled a winning record in both formats during 2008, going 4-3-2 in four-ball play and 3-0 in singles play. His sweep of Zimmerman in the singles matches was the most lopsided of the 2008 Cup.Jeff graduated from Wake Forest University in 2004. He is the brother of Pineapple Cup participant Mark Wilson. He is currently employed by Regions Bank, although looking to retire soon as a doctor’s husband.
Jeff's 2009 campaign should be pressure-packed. First, he will try to become the first repeat champion in Pineapple Cup history. Defending champions have not fared well in the m
atches in the following year. Additionally, he will try to put to rest a belief among some that, in 2008, he rode a few early partners to victory and then drew an easy singles match on his way to victory.

Whether he wins again, or hands the trophy to the next champion golfer, Jeff will always be able to say what only a few can say: I am a Pineapple Cup champion!

ReplyDeleteNo one can dispute Jeff got a good Sunday draw. Zimm was on the Sunday side of a bachelor party weekend.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, but I don't see him repeating this year.
