Jason Caron’s day’s work is the Golf Professional Head at Mill River Club at Oyster Bay, NY, living his days on the northern coast of Long Island. It’s not a bad job if you can get it.
His moonlight concert is not too brave.
In addition to his head tasks, Caron is also a Tour Pro champion. Yes, you read it properly. When the 52-year-old is not in Mill River Club winning his regular check, he is in the old circuit competing against the legends of the game.
Caron won his champions card last season after one Epic 10-run run in which he recorded four pre-pace conclusions. It all came after he described his path to elderly PGA, eventually giving the opportunity at a 35th place end in the season ranking and a card in one of the most exclusive tournaments in the world.
That running like Cinderella presented another chapter last week at Classic College in Tuscon, Ariz.
Caron, playing at his second event of the tournament season in 2025 Champs, fired rounds of 67, 68 and 66 in La Paloma Country Club to end up in a tie above leaders with Steven Alker. His last round 66 featured birds in the last three holes-four over his last six holes-to post the club’s superiority over a field including great winners like Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington and Bernhard Langer.
Caron last played a full -time professional Golf in 2003 in what is now known as Korn Ferry Tour. But after filling his last approach inside the range in the 18th hole, he was on the verge of a win among some of the most achieved players in the world.
Sadly, as in the tale, the clock eventually had to hit midnight.
Two groups after Caron, Steven Alker – Another late celebrity of flowering – He was making a run of his own. After rejecting the 7th PAR-3 hole, Kiwi played his last 11 holes in the six sub-under-nine to post a last round of his 66th to force a Caron play-off. After being in extra holes, Alker did not lose the opportunity, birding the first extra hole for his ninth career champions victory.
Caron may have only been a little, but its condolence price comes in the form of a wage of a week of $ 193,000. Not the salary of a bad week for a second job.
