Scott R Chilcutt, Edmond, OK (April 30, 2011) Rose Creek Golf Club, now also know as Tour 18 @ Rose Creek, previously a multi event site per year, has been off the tour since the summer of 2009. Since that time they've completed a beautiful new 16,000SF clubhouse, making bunker improvements, they've brought on a new course superintendent and the greens are in the best shape they have been in over a year. Early schedule timing and the continued spring maintenance on the fairways made for some challenging lies, but with more impact was the north to northwest winds sweeping over west Edmond.In the end you would have a hard time complaining about this Saturday, bookended by 60MPH gusts on Friday and 50 degree thunderstorms on Sunday.
Jamie Sansom a traveling, Frisco, TX member playing out of the Dallas tour took home the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Labor Finders, in a score card playoff over Travis Klein from Del City.Next up, Cherry Springs in Talequah, a joint Oklahoma / Arkansas event coordinated by Arkansas Tour director Paul Gomez, on Saturday, May 7th. Dallas Tour resumes on May 14th for The Cliffs Challenge at Possum Kingdom and the next area Major on May 21st at the famed Payne Stewart Golf Club in Branson, MO, now only taking waiting list entries.
RESULTS:
Championship Flight: Stillwater native, now residing in Oklahoma City, Jeff Boyer has all but knocked through the winning wall since joining the tour this spring. Jeff has had three 2nd place finishes, including a T2 with the tough 17 player field at The Tibute Open last weekend in The Colony, TX. Boyer shot 3 over on the front and 3 over on the back to stay steady and outlast Curt Howard from Sapulpa and Brandon Henry from Pauls Valley.
Palmer Flight: Oklahoma City's, Hank Darcey a new member on the tour picked up the first win of his AM Tour career over a strong nine player field. Darcey shot a one over par over the final 6 holes to take the lead over Jimmy Westfall also from Oklahoma City finishing the final third of his round in 3 over par and finished two back. Bill McConnell from Norman rounded out the top 3, one stroke back of Westfall.
Hogan Flight: Travis Klein from Del City, went out in even par and came to the club house with five bogie's and a double to finish three strokes clear of Edmond's, Tim Mathis.
