2026 Chili Open Recap

What a day at Mud Run Golf Course & Driving Range! Thank you to everyone who played and supported First Tee – Greater Akron. With 50 teams and 100 golfers on the course, it was a great day, and we were honored to celebrate the life and legacy of a great man, Pete Fetchin.

A huge shoutout to Dirk Hartman, Mud Run’s Head Pro & GM, for setting up some creative and challenging pin positions that kept everyone on their toes – and laughing – all day long.

Congratulations to our champions, Adam Lewicki & Jeff O’Brien, who took 1st place at -4! Jason Thomas & Keith Sipos, Damian Rhodes & Mario Laush, Glenn Huth & Mike Tolliver, and Brandon Bradford & Ron Oliver rounded out the top five. Nate Ickes took home the 50/50 ($225), and congratulations to all of our hole prize winners (see the full results below).

We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our amazing sponsors:

The Knapp Family – our Chili Sponsor.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a great day of golf, fun, and community at the Chili Open. Your participation helps support the mission of First Tee – Greater Akron, building game changers through golf!

We can’t wait to see everyone back in 2027 for another unforgettable Chili Open!
