Northern New Mexico Open
Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2012 season with the inaugural Northern New Mexico Open at the Pinon Hills Golf Course in Farmington NM on Saturday, July 7. Pinon Hills lived up to its reputation as one of the best public golf courses in the country. The course was in excellent shape, and besides one brief downpour, it was an excellent day for golf. Pinon Hills yielded a few good scores as the players faced tight fairways and large very undulating greens. An exciting Jones flight finish added to the fun for the day.
Eric Anderson of Rio Rancho, NM took first place in the Championship flight with an excellent 76, the low round of the day. This is Eric's third win of the season.

In the Palmer/Sr Palmer flight, Terry Freeze of Albuquerque continued his excellent play this year with a 79 and a five shot victory. Terry was one under par after twelve holes, but hit trouble on the pesky 13th par 5 that seems to give many players problems.

In the Hogan/Sr Hogan flight, Rocco Intriere captured his third win of the year with an 82 and a seven shot victory. Rocco got off to a slow start on the first two holes, but then settled down to play very good golf in the remainder of the round.

Samuel Felix got his fourth win of the year in Sarazen flight. Again, except for a triple bogey on the tough 13th hole, the key to Sam's victory was steady par/bogey golf.

The Jones/Sr Jones flight provided the most excitement for the day. The Jones flight was by far the largest and most competitive flight in the tournament. Jesse Hernandez, Mark Madrid, and Isaac Padilla all carded fine 86s for a three-way tie. This is our first three-way tie this year. The players teed off on the first hole for the playoff and all three players hit good drives. In the end, Jesse Hernandez won the playoff with a par on the first playoff hole. Mark Madrid then took 2nd place in the scorecard playoff with Isaac Padilla. Mark keeps knocking at the door for a victory, this is his third second place finish in a row. Isaac Padilla just missed out on his third victory of the year and automatic qualification to the National Championship. Also, Douglas Christian shot 88, his best tournament round of the season.
