It’s that special time again …. we’re back with FLX Tour’s Meet the Pros!

DONUT count this young man out! Jesse Cramer is one of the FLX’s strongest rookies in the 2023 season and currently boasts a respectable T-18 ranking for Young Man of the Year, despite only appearing in two majors this season. The Wayne County native has made a home for himself in Monroe, but the wolf howls at midnight son.

Jesse is known as a bonafide numbers guy, and authors a fantastic finance blog called The Best Interest. He’s also contributed to the most in-depth stats break down to date in Tour history, but he’s also known on Tour for his generosity.

Jesse reached out to Tour Commissioners the night before the Genesee Invitational to tell them he was considering bringing donuts before for Pros to enjoy and he wanted to make sure that no one else was doing so to avoid redundancies. The commissioners laughed it off, assuring to the young man that no one else on Tour is that kind or thoughftul, present company included!

Let’s get to know Jesse!

WORLD CLASS QUALITY ONCE AGAIN!

What a chipper snapper. Between donuts and stats breakdowns, Jesse is quickly raising his profile on Tour as a fan favorite. A friendly and approachable young man, he has a bright future as an FLX pro and we know it’ll be when, not if, he reaches the winner’s circle at a major tournament.

And he’ll have one more opportunity before the sun sets on the 2023 season. The final major of the season, the FLX Cup, takes place on Saturday, October 14 at Shadow Lake Golf Club.
