Cavanaugh and Greer win Tri-Cities Open Tier 4 doubles title

Randy Cavanaugh and Red Greer turned the Tri-Cities Open Tier 4 doubles bracket into a clean finish, beating Lance Palmer and Chase Jenson 27-8 in the final. The score line showed more than a title win; it showed a partnership that found the right gear when the bracket tightened.

That mattered in a field built to give more than just the top end of the sport a stage. The American Cornhole League’s Open division is open from pro level down to novice, and events with more than 64 entries can be split into multiple brackets, with each bracket playing for points independently. Tier 4 fit that structure perfectly, giving Cavanaugh and Greer a real championship path instead of a consolation lane.

The bracket page showed Cavanaugh and Greer working through multiple rounds before reaching the title match, then delivering their sharpest performance when it counted most. A 27-8 final is the kind of result that usually comes from steady execution, not just one hot burst, and it underlined how well the pair complemented each other over the course of the tournament. Palmer and Jenson reached the final on the other side of that draw, but Cavanaugh and Greer controlled the championship from the start.

The victory came inside the first Tri-Cities Open, a new ACL stop at the HAPO Center in west Pasco, and the setting matched the scale of the event. ACL FanZone listed the tournament for Friday, June 19, 2026, at 6600 Burden Blvd. in Pasco, and the three-day run was built around a broad menu of divisions that included pro and upper-level action alongside lower-tier brackets like Tier 4. The event was also described in local coverage as nationally televised.

That mix of levels is what made the Cavanaugh-Greer run stand out. In a bracket designed to reward skill-matched competition, they navigated the draw and finished with authority, a reminder that cornhole’s depth is not limited to the headline names. The Tri-Cities Open offered more than $25,000 in guaranteed prizes and cash payouts, and the Tier 4 championship was part of the case for why that wider format matters. It gave Cavanaugh and Greer a clear title, a decisive final, and a result that fit the larger scale of a growing open-level field.
