Tucson firefighter and paramedic Grant Cesarek has emerged as Tucson’s leading amateur golfer. The former baseball player from Sabino High School won his third Tucson City Amateur title last week, but this time the script was compelling. He and his brother, Greg Cesarek, finished tied after four rounds, each shooting even-par 285.
Greg had a chance to win at the 18th hole in regulation, at Randolph North, but three-putted. Grant won with a birdie on the first playoff hole. “I would have been happy for Greg if he won,’’ said Grant, “but I just made a putt.’’ Jeff Kern continues to hold the record with nine Tucson City Amateur championships.
