Paa-ko Ridge Championship
Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2012 season with the Paa-ko Ridge Championship at the Paa-ko Ridge Golf Club in Sandia Park, NM on Saturday, July 21. Paa-ko Ridge lived up to its reputation as one of the best golf courses in the country. The course was in excellent shape, and it was an excellent day for golf. The course yielded a few good scores as the players faced tight fairways and large very undulating and fast greens.
New tour member, Jason Thiele of Albuquerque, NM took first place in the Championship flight with an 83 after a slow start on the first two holes. This is Jason's second win of the season.
In the large Palmer/Sr Palmer flight, Terry (Tastee, Desert Rat, Hockey Sticks) Freeze of Albuquerque continued his excellent play this year with another 77, the low round of the tournament. Terry shot a so-so front nine 42, but then came back really strong with a superb 35 on the tough back nine. Tour vet David Baldwin of Albuquerque played steady golf and carded a fine 79 for second place. Lee Goddard of Artesia posted a solid 80 for third place.
In the Hogan/Sr Hogan flight, Rick Blose of Albuquerque captured his second win of the year with an excellent 78, the second lowest round of the tournament and a nine shot victory. Arther Telles, visiting New Mexico from Scottsdale, Arizona, took second place with an “good front nine/bad back nine” 87.
Larry Agan captured his second win of the year since being promoted to the Sr Sarazen flight with a 96 and two shot victory.
In the Jones/Sr Jones flight, new tour player Douglas Christian broke through for his first win of the year. Congratulations Doug! Doug played steady golf for the most part, and shot a 92 for a two shot victory. Doug has been steadily improving as he gets more comfortable with tournament golf.
In the Snead Flight, Eric Greenwood and John Mangan fought to a tie with 104s. Eric shot a very good 45 on the front nine but stumbled on the back nine with a 59. Eric's back nine let John come back for the tie. In the sudden death playoff, both players tied on the first playoff hole. On the second playoff hole, John made a mental mistake which led to a penalty and Eric took this third victory of the year.
