Isleta Eagle Championship - 2014

Albuquerque, NM—The GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico continued its 2014 season with the Isleta Eagle Championship at the Isleta Eagle Golf Club in Albuquerque, NM on Saturday, June 14.  New Mexico Am Tour players again had to face strong winds and dust on a sunny, warm day.  Despite the strong winds, several good scores were posted by the players.   

Alan Turney of Albuquerque, NM captured the Championship Flight and his third victory of the season.  Alan shot a steady 82 on the windy day and with this victory he has qualified for the Senior National Championship.  

In the combined Palmer/Sr Palmer Flight, tour vet Darren Webb of Albuquerque captured his second win of the year and his second win in a row with a excellent score of 78.  This is Darren’s third win of the 2014 season and he has also qualified for Nationals.

The combined Hogan/Sr Hogan Flight was won by frequent visitor Alfred Taylor of Chandler, AZ.   Alfred posted an outstanding 76 on the tough day and won by three strokes over Adrian Abreu who posted an excellent 79. 

In the combined Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, first year tour player Bruce Ranke of Albuquerque, NM captured his first victory on the AM Tour with a steady round 87. Congratulations Bruce!  Bruce topped James Jefferies by a single shot. James started off poorly but came back strong with a 38 on the back nine.  This is the second tournament in a row that James has come up one shot short of first place.       

  

In the combined Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Stephen Inoue of Santa Fe, NM captured his second victory of the year and second win in a row with a 91.  Stephen started off strong and struggled coming in to beat Robby Ray by a single shot. 

The Snead Flight was won by James Easley of Albuquerque in a playoff over Derek Freeman.  Both players posted rounds of 98.  James won the flight on the first playoff hole.
