Twin
Warriors Championship
Albuquerque,
NM—The
GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2013 season
with the Twin Warriors Championship at the Twin Warriors Golf Course
in Albuquerque NM on Sunday, June 16. Sunny skies, warm
temperatures, and light winds for most of the day made for a
beautiful day for golf. However, the course played very tough with
only one player breaking 80.
Tour
veterans, Alan Turney of Albuquerque and Gregory Allen of Pagosa
Springs CO fought to a tie in the Championship Flight. Both posted
rounds of 81 on the tight course. Alan captured his third tour
victory of the year on the first playoff hole with a par. With his
third victory of the year, Alan has now qualified for the Sr National
Championship. This was Gregory's second playoff loss in a row.
In
the combined Palmer/Sr Palmer Flight, Gordon Rahn of Albuquerque
posted an excellent 77 (42,35) to capture his first win of the year.
Gordon was the only player to break 80 on the tough course. His
fantastic back-nine 35 included 3 birdies and a double bogey. Terry
Freeze and Lee Goddard both shot solid rounds of 80. Terry won the
second place prize via scorecard playoff with his strong back-nine
38.
In
the combined Hogan/Sr Hogan Flight, Rick Blose of Albuquerque,
captured his third win of the year with a solid round of 83. With
his third victory, Rick has also qualified for the Sr National
Championship. Right behind Rick was Ken Stopka of Rio Rancho NM with
an 84.
In
the always competitive combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, visitor
Tim Coplen of Lake Havasu City, AZ took 1st
place with a strong 82. Tim continued to play well after his win in
last week's major, the Western Open in Scottsdale, AZ. Returning to
the tour after an injury, Steve Damron posted a solid round of 83 to
take 2nd
place. Ralph Anderson Jr captured third place with a round of 85.
In
the combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Isaac Padilla Jr of Flora Vista,
NM captured his first win of the year with an excellent 83. Three
shots back with 86, was Douglas Christian of Albuquerque.
In
the Snead Flight, second year tour player Eric Greenwood of
Albuquerque continues to improve and captured his third win in a row
and his third win of the year with a 92 and a seven shot victory.
Eric has also now qualified for the National Championship.
Thanks

Warriors Championship.
