Taos
Championship
Albuquerque,
NM—The
GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2013 season
with the Taos Championship at the Taos Country Club in Taos, NM on
Saturday, August. Partly cloudy skies, mild temperatures, and light
winds for most of the day made for a beautiful day for golf. The
links-style course was in excellent shape and some excellent rounds
were posted.
In
the combined Championship/Palmer Flight, Lee Goddard of Artesia, NM
captured his second win of the year with a 3 shot victory and shot
the best round of the day, an outstanding 77 (40,37). Alan Turney of
Albuquerque and Emerson Vallo of Pueblo de Acoma, NM both posted
rounds of 80 to tie for 2nd.
Alan took the 2nd
place prize via scorecard playoff with his strong back-nine 38.
John
Rocca and Ralph Anderson Jr. both posted excellent rounds of 82 in
the combined Hogan/Sarazen Flight. First year tour player, John
Rocca of Albuquerque, won on the first playoff hole with a par after
Ralph three putted when he was too aggressive with his first putt.
This is John's first victory of the year.
In
the combined Jones/Snead Flight, local Taos player, Jeff Brown,
continued his strong play after winning the Western Classic major in
Las Vegas last week. Jeff posted a personal best at the Taos CC, an
outstanding 82. Isaac Padilla of Flora Vista, NM continued to play
well and took 2nd place with a solid 87.
Thanks
to all of the NM Am Tour players for playing in the Taos
Championship.
