Southern New Mexico Challenge
Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2012 season with the inaugural Southern New Mexico Challenge at the Sierra del Rio Golf Course in Truth or Consequences NM on Saturday, June 2. New Mexico Am Tour players finally got a break from the wind and had a nice, but hot day to play. Sierra del Rio proved to be a fair and tough challenge, with unforgiving rough for shots that strayed from the narrow fairways.
Alan Turney of Albuquerque, continued to play well and posted the low round of the day with an excellent 77 to win the Palmer/Sr Palmer flight by four strokes. Terry Freeze and Gordon Rahn of Albuquerque both posted solid 81s to tie for second. Terry captured the 2nd place payout via a scorecard playoff.
Adrian Abreu of Las Vegas, NM captured his first victory of the year in the Hogan/Sr Hogan flight. Adrian posted an very good 84 and took a eight shot victory in the flight over 2nd place finisher Rocco Intriere. As is normal for playing tight courses with penalizing rough, the key to Adrian's victory was avoiding disastrous hole(s) that plagued so many players.
In the combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, tour veterans Phil Vallo of Rio Rancho and Ralph Anderson Jr tied for 1st place with 96s. Ralph took the victory in the playoff for his first victory of the year.
In the combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, first year AM Tour player, Isaac Padilla Jr from Flora Vista NM, also captured his first victory of the year with a solid 95 and a two shot victory over tour veteran Mark Madrid.
First year AM Tour player, John Mangan of Albuquerque, posted his 2nd win in a row with a 6 shot victory in the combined Snead/Sr Snead flight.
