University of New Mexico Championship - 4/14/2012

University of New Mexico Championship

Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2012 season with the University of New Mexico Championship at the UNM Championship Golf Course on Saturday, April 4. The day started off cool with strong winds that got worse as the day went on. In the middle of the tournament, the course was under a full blown dust storm, with winds gusting to 60 mph. Amazingly, the golfers persevered and given the conditions, some played very well.

New tour member and long hitting, Ntengwa Mukosa of Las Cruces, NM won the Championship Flight with a 83.

Second year tour member, Terry “Tastee” Freeze of Albuquerque, had the low round of the tournament with an amazing 77 to win the combined Palmer/Senior Palmer Flight. In the wind and dust, Terry shot a remarkably steady round with only 6 bogeys and 1 birdie.

Returning tour member, Rocco Intriere of Albuquerque, posted a very good 84 to take the combined Hogan/Senior Hogan Flight in a playoff against Rick Blose. Rocco posted a birdie on the first playoff hole to take the win. Adrian Abreu of Las Vegas, NM took third place with an 87.

In the combined Sarazen/Senior Sarazen Flight, veteran Samuel Felix of Albuquerque took first place with a 90. Alan Truelock of Albuquerque, continued his solid started with a 2^nd place 92. In the first two tournaments this year, Samuel and Alan have come in 1^st or 2^nd.

Jesse Hernandez of Albuquerque took a two shot victory in the combined Jones/Senior Jones Flight with a fine 87. Tour veterans, Robert Robinson of Albuquerque and Stephan Inoue of Santa Fe, NM placed 2^nd and 3^rd respectively.

The TOUR returns to action with the Arroyo del Oso Championship on May 12.
