The New Mexico Tour Open is officially in the books. This year’s season opener went off without a hitch. With the exception of a few wind gusts Mother Nature was kind to us this year compared to last year’s opener that saw all four seasons.
In the Championship flight it was a battle back and forth all the way with Jimmy Brown and Gary Franklin in a tie for 2nd place while eventual winner Luis Luna took home the Hardware.
The Palmer flight saw it biggest field to date with 15 competitors and 1/3 of the field managed to shoot scores in the seventies but Tournament Winner Alan Turney got off to an early lead on the front going 1 under and closed out the field with a 1 over 73 when the smoke cleared. Darren Webb came in 2nd place while new comer Gerardo Garcia rounded out the top 3.
In the Hogan Flight Brandon Drake also shot a nice round of 76 to take top honors while Steve Robbins and Ken Stopka tied for 2nd place.
Ron McCulloch walked away from the field by 6 strokes in the Sarazen Flight firing an 86. Ne w comer Paul Chavez took 2nd place while veteran Jeff Petrin rounded out the top 3.
In the Jones Flight another new comer this year Fernando Sanchez took the top spot with another new comer Jesse Hernandez coming in 2nd and tour veteran Ajna Seret came in 3rd place.
In the Snead flight it came down to a playoff to determine eventual winner Kevin Rael who edged out 2nd place finisher Steve Roche while Kyle Holloway rounded out the top 3.
The New Mexico Tours next event will be on Saturday April 16th at Twin Warriors GC. This event has proven to test even the best players, so bring your A game to this event. Registration is open now until April 9th at 11 AM.
