New Mexico Tour Championship - 2013


New Mexico Tour Championship



Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico completed its 2013 season with the New Mexico Tour Championship at the Santa Ana Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, NM on August 24 - 25. One Day 1, players competed on the Tamaya/Cheena nines and on Day 2 they played the Cheena/Star nines. Players had to contend with gusty winds and some downpours from a few passing thunderstorms but otherwise conditions were good and some outstanding scores were posted.

In the Championship Flight, Gregory Allen of Pagosa Springs, CO took a 6 shot victory with very solid rounds of 77,79. This is the first victory on tour for Greg.

The combined Palmer/Sr Palmer flight was won by Paul Dominguez of Albuquerque NM with an excellent rounds of 75, 73. Darren Webb of Albuquerque had the first round lead with another excellent 73 and even though he had an excellent second round 76, Paul was able to pass him. Lee Goddard of Artesia, NM also played well (82,78) and took 3rd place.

In the combined Hogan/Sr Hogan Flight, Alan Truelock of Albuquerque played the steadiest golf (84,81) and captured his 2nd victory of the year. Ken Stopka of Albuquerque took 2nd place with rounds of 86,80. Ken just failed to catch Alan when he doubled the short par 5 #18.

In the combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, Brett Burrell of Albuquerqe continued to play extremely well this season, posting very good rounds of 81,81 to take a 6 shot victory. Jesus Duran of Las Cruces matched Brett's first round 81 but dropped to 2nd place with his 2nd round 87. Phil Vallo of Rio Rancho and James Jefferies of Albuquerque tied for 3rd. Phil took the 3rd place prize via scorecard playoff with his excellent final nine 39.

In the combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Jeff Brown of Taos, NM continued his excellent late season play and posted his third win in a row with rounds of 88,90. Doug Christian of Albuquerque came up a stroke short with rounds of 93, 86. Stephen Inoue of Santa Fe and Isaac Padilla of Flora Vista, NM, tied for third place, each player posting one good round and one not so good round. Stephen took the 3rd place prize via scorecard playoff.

In the Snead Flight, John Mangan of Rio Rancho, NM, dominated the flight on his home course with very nice rounds of 91,90.
