Sunday, September 22, 2012

Perfect weather! Great course!
Rogers, Ar – The GC AM tour of Arkansas kicked off the 2013 season in perfect weather and a fantastic golf course in great condition. Shadow Valley Country Club is well know for being challenging but fair from any tee box. It didn't disappoint on Saturday under ideal conditions.

Flight Winners:

Matt McClain
Palmer Flight (4.0-7.9) – Matt Mcclain of Decatur, AR and Scot Carter of Bella Vista, AR were neck and neck all day until the final few holes when McClain took advantage of a couple of stumbles by Carter and finished three strokes better than Carter. With this, McClain wins his second tour event.









Lee Siler
Hogan Flight (8.0-11.9) – Even though it seemed like Lee Siler of Rogers, AR had securely established a lead in the Hogan flight, David Price of Pawhuska, OK tried to take advantage of some late round jitters. In the end, Siler won his first event since 2010 on the AM Tour.








Jay Williams
Sarazen Flight (12.0-15.9) – Jay Williams of Van Buren, AR made tour history, again!, by making a hole in one on #6! Williams gripped down on a pitching wedge to the 125 yard pin, threw it passed the hole, and sucked it back into the hole. He needed that cushion to win by 3 strokes over Danny Neal of Springdale, AR.








Craig Merrill
Jones Flight (16.0-19.9) – Craig Merrill of Roland, AR had a sufficient enough lead that his one ''blow up'' hole didn't cost him the tournament. Merrill finished 5 better than Dennis Baxter of Bella Vista, AR to claim the first victory of the 2013 season!









Chris Smith
Snead Flight (20.0 +) – Chris Smith of Fort Smith, AR hung on to win the Snead flight while carding the only birdie in the flight. Smith avoided any double-digit numbers which secured him a confident lead over his competitors. This makes his third victory on the AM Tour since joining last year.
