David Pastore Makes MGA History at the 2025 Met Open

A career-defining win. A name etched into MGA history. In this week’s DROP, we sit down with David Pastore, fresh off completing the elusive MGA Slam with a dramatic victory at the 110th Met Open Championship at Meadow Brook Club. Pastore becomes just the fourth player ever to win the Ike, Met Amateur, and Met Open - joining legends like Jerry Courville Sr. and Johnson Wagner. We dive into his journey from winning the Met Junior at age 14 to capturing the biggest title of his career in front of a packed New York crowd. His final-round 70 wasn’t flashy, but it was clutch - highlighted by key birdies at 10 and 12, and steady nerves to edge Ryan McCormick by one shot.

We talk legacy, emotion, and the mindset that got him across the line. Then, we look ahead to what’s next for Pastore as he eyes Korn Ferry Tour Q-School, DP World Tour Q-School, and the next chapter in his professional career. Whether you're chasing titles or just love seeing homegrown talent rise to the moment, this episode is pure gold. Tap in and tee up.
