Paa-ko
Ridge Championship
Albuquerque,
NM—The
GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2013 season
with the Paa-ko Ridge Championship at the Paa-ko Ridge Golf Course
in Sandia Park, NM on Sunday, July 28. Partly cloudy skies, mild
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. Some excellent rounds were posted on this tough
championship course that requires accurate tee and approach shots and
a deft touch on the very tough and fast multi-tiered rolling greens.
In
the Championship Flight, Alan Turney of Albuquerque took a five shot
victory with the best round of the day, an outstanding 74 (38,36).
Alan's round included two birdies and no double bogeys.
The
combined Palmer/Sr Palmer flight, was won by Darren Webb of
Albuquerque NM with an excellent round of 75 (36, 39 ). Darren's
round included 4 birdies and 2 double bogeys. This is Darren's 2nd
victory of the year. Paul Dominguez of Albuquerque, also posted a
very strong 78 for 2nd
place. Robert Bauder of Sandia Park, NM rounded out the top three in
the strong Palmer/Sr Palmer Flight with a very good 79.
In
the combined Hogan/Sr Hogan Flight, Ken Stopka of Albuquerque
continued to dominate the flight. His round had the potential to be
the best ever recorded on the NM Tour. Playing from the same tees as
the Championship and Palmer Flights, Ken birdied 4 holes on the front
nine in route to a 33 (-3). He double bogeyed #10 but got back to
3-under with birdies on #12 and #13. Unfortunately, trouble caught
him and Ken struggled coming in, going 7-over on the last 4 holes for
a 43. Still an outstanding round of 76.
In
the combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, Ralph Anderson Jr of White
Sands, NM , posted a solid round of 89 to take a 5 shot victory and
his first victory of the year. Ralph struggled some on the front
nine with a 48 but came back with a very good 41 on the back nine.
In
the combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Isaac Padilla of Flora Vista NM,
captured his 2nd
win in a row and his third of the season by a single stroke over
Douglas Christian. Both players struggled on the front nine,
especially on the the very short par 3 #4 and the par 5 #5. Isaac
had a two shot lead going into the back nine and almost let Douglas
catch him when he stumbled on the last hole with a quad-bogey.
In
the Snead Flight, Eric Greenwood of Albuquerque, posted another
victory with a very up and down round of 97.
Thanks
