Arroyo
del Oso Championship
Albuquerque,
NM—The
GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2013 season
with the Arroyo del Oso Championship at the Arroyo del Oso Golf
Course in Albuquerque NM on Saturday, April 13. New Mexico tour
players and visitors got a break from the cold and wind that we had
in the previous two tournaments. Sunny skies, warm temperatures, and
light winds made for a beautiful day for golf.
Second
year tour member, Jason Thiele of Albuquerque posted his first win of
the year with a roller coaster round of 83 (47,36). His excellent
back nine 36 was marred by three 3-putt bogeys on #16,17,and 18.
In
the combined Palmer/Sr Palmer Flight, tour veteran Darren Webb of
Albuquerque posted an excellent 77 to capture his first win of the
year. Darren started off strong with a front nine 37 and took a 4
shot victory in the largest flight of the tournament. Paul Dominquez
and David Baldwin tied with 81s. Paul took the second place prize
with his strong back nine 39.
Rick
Blose of Albuquerque, posted a fantastic 74 (35,39), the low round of
the tournament, to take the combined Hogan/Sr Hogan Flight by 7
shots. Ajna Seret of Santa Fe, NM continued to play well posting a
steady 81 to take second place.
In
the very competitive combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, tour
newcomers Lance Lackas of Los Alamos, NM and Thomas DeYoung of Sierra
Vista, AZ battled with tour veteran Brett Burrell of Albuquerque.
All three posted scores of 87. The 3-way tie was decided on the
first playoff hole. Lance parred the par 5 #1, even after hitting a
tree off the tee, to capture his first victory. Thomas DeYoung won
the 2nd
place prize via a score card playoff.
In
the always competitive combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Mark Madrid
of Rio Rancho, NM captured his second win of the year with a 91.
Stephen Inoue, Doug Christian, and Jeff Brown just missed catching
Mark, all posting 92s. Stephen won the second place prize via
scorecard playoff.
In
the Snead Flight, second year tour player Eric Greenwood of
Albuquerque, captured his first win of the year and defended his 2012
victory with an excellent 85. His 85 is a personal best on the Am
Tour. Congratulations!
Thanks

Arroyo del Oso Championship.
