The Mulligan Tour’s Central Division descended on Whispering Willows Golf Course in Livonia on Saturday afternoon, July 18th, for the 2026 Crazy Brit — and when the British Stableford points were counted under the shotgun twilight, the old guard had been sent home empty-handed by a group of players who barely have a full season under their belts. Jamie Wilson, David Jarboe, and Chase Keilitz claimed the top three spots in that order, making the 2026 Crazy Brit the first in the tournament’s 28-year history where rookies swept the podium. The Mulligan Tour has never seen that before — and the veterans who’ve been circling Whispering Willows since 2006 are going to have to sit with that over the offseason.
Wilson was in a class of his own. Four birdies and three eagles — three eagles in a British Stableford format, where the points pile up fast and the field has no answer for a player who keeps finding the bottom of the cup — produced 42 points and a margin of victory that left no doubt. The win carries its own narrative gravity: just weeks ago at the Quad-Tour Challenge, Wilson was sitting on a comfortable lead when the rain came down and washed the tournament before it could become official, drowning what would have been his first Mulligan Tour victory. Whispering Willows on Saturday was the answer to that frustration. Wilson didn’t wait for another chance — he went out and earned it. David Jarboe was the other scoring machine in the field, posting seven birdies for 38 points and sole possession of second place, $24 in his pocket, and a bookmark in the record books. Chase Keilitz rounded out the all-rookie podium at 36 points, claiming $16 and a third-place finish that on most years would be the story of the day.
Behind the rookie sweep, Greg Fobare — who joined the tour at the end of last year and has quickly become one of the most dangerous players on the Central Division schedule — tied for fourth at 35 points alongside Jeff Cubel, Ned Loving, and defending champion Tom Moran. Fobare’s quasi-rookie status makes him something of an honorary member of the class of 2026, and his T4 finish keeps his season earnings ticking upward. Paul Parent finished eighth at 34 points for $3, with Kevin Gregoire taking ninth at 33 points for $2. Elizabeth Jolliffe, Chris Stalo, and Ken Westerman all finished in a three-way tie at tenth with 32 points apiece, sharing the final $1 in the purse — a penny split three ways, but a paid finish nonetheless.
On the challenge holes, the CTP on hole 6 and hole 4 found their winners and added a few extra dollars to an already memorable afternoon. The Crazy Brit has been played at Whispering Willows since 2007, and its champions list reads like a who’s who of MT Central Division history — Mike Prieskorn’s three titles, Tim Markel’s 2016 win, Tom Moran’s defense last year. None of them saw this coming. The 2026 edition belongs to the next generation, and Jamie Wilson’s name sits atop the champions list in his debut season. The Mulligan Tour rolls on — but not before tipping its cap to three rookies who showed up at Whispering Willows and refused to be impressed by anyone’s credentials.
