2012 New Mexico Kickoff Classic
Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico opened its 2012 season with the New Mexico Kickoff Classic at the Sandia Golf Club on Saturday, April 7. The day started off cool and blustery. Later in the afternoon the winds died down a little making it more comfortable for the golfers. Overall it was a pretty tough day for scoring, especially for the early starters, as only three rounds in the 70's were posted.
New tour member, Eric Anderson of Rio Rancho, NM won the Championship Flight with a 78, finishing strong on the back nine.
Tour veteran, Darren Webb of Albuquerque, had the low round of the tournament with an excellent 74 to win the combined Palmer/Senior Palmer Flight. Darren carded a very steady round with two birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey. Second year tour player, Terry Freeze of Albuquerque, fired a very good 78 with an excellent 37 on the back nine after a sluggish start. Paul Dominguez, also from Albuquerque, finished third with a solid 80.
Second year tour member, Rick Blose of Albuquerque, posted a very good 80 to take the combined Hogan/Senior Hogan Flight by three shots. Mark Vickers, Rocco Intriere, and Keaton Wynn played well and tied for 2nd place with rounds of 83. All three played better on the back nine with the diminishing wind.
In the combined Sarazen/Senior Sarazen Flight, new tour member Alan Truelock of Albuquerque, got off to a strong start for the season with a fine 81. After a brutal triple bogey on the 4th hole, Samuel Felix of Albuquerque came back strong to finish in 2nd place with an 84.
Larry Agan of Las Cruces, NM took a one shot victory in the combined Jones/Senior Jones Flight. Larry continued his good play from last year shooting a very good 85 with a strong finish on the back nine. Tour veterans, Stephan Inoue of Santa Fe, NM and Mark Madrid of Rio Rancho, NM tied for 2nd place with solid 86s.
Bobby Davis of Albuquerque struggled on the back nine but came in with a one shot victory in the combined Snead/Senior Snead Flight.
The TOUR returns to action with the University of New Mexico Championship on April 14.
