Northern
New Mexico Open
Albuquerque,
NM—The
GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2013 season
with the Northern New Mexico Open at the Pinon Hills Golf Course in
Farmington, NM on Saturday, July 13. Sunny skies, hot temperatures,
and light winds for most of the day made for a beautiful day for
golf. The highly regarded Ken Dye course was in excellent shape. NM
tour players fought hard on the tough course which demands that you
keep your ball in play and handle the multi-tiered sloping greens.
In
the Championship Flight, Alan Turney of Albuquerque won by a stroke
over Greg Allen of Pagosa Springs, CO. Alan started off strong and
struggled coming in on the back nine, while Gregory started off slow,
made a come back on the back nine, but did not quite catch Alan.
The
combined Palmer/Sr Palmer flight, was won by Lee Goddard of Artesia,
NM with the low round of the day (37, 40 - 77). This is the first
victory for the 2nd year tour player who has come close
several times. Lee started off very strong, made a couple of birdies
on an up and down back nine for a three shot victory over tour
veterans David Baldwin, Darren Webb, and Paul Dominguez. By way of a
scorecard playoff, Paul won the 2nd place prize and David
won the 3rd place prize.
In
the combined Hogan/Sr Hogan Flight, Ken Stopka of Albuquerque posted
his 4th victory of the season with a solid 85.
In
the combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, Denver tour visitor Bill
Tomcich of Basalt CO, posted a steady 86 to take his first victory
on the tour. First year tour player, John Rocca of Albuquerque
posted an 87 for second place and played very well except for 8's on
the signature par 3 #6 and at #17.
In
the combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Isaac Padilla of nearby Flora
Vista NM, posted a solid 88 for a two shot victory and his 2nd
win of the year. Mark Madrid tried to make a charge but came up
short when he triple bogeyed the last hole.
Eric
Greenwood continues to improve and also posted his 4th
victory of the year with a steady 90. Eric is closing in on his goal
for promotion to the Jones Flight.
Thanks to all of the NM Am Tour players and visitors for playing in the Northern New Mexico Open.
