Runner Up Finish at Southern Dunes


There aren't too many weeks when shooting 19 under par isn't going to walk away with the trophy. Unfortunately, this was one of those weeks when it wasn't the winning score and it wasn't even close. Chris Kamin shot an incredible 27 under, 62-63-64. I played great all week and was able to hold on for a 1 shot cushion over 3rd place. I started the week with a solid 67 and then followed it up with a bogey free 64 in round 2. The final round was another solid round, 66, where I did everything I could to put pressure on the leader but it just wasn't good enough. I am excited that I was able to hold on for solo 2nd and take home a check for $6,500. After struggling with the putter the last few weeks I made a ton of putts at Southern Dunes. I like where my swing is right now and look forward to playing on the Gateway Tour again next week. I've had a great run of events this summer on the Gateway Tour and hope to finish strong in my last event in Arizona next week. Stay tuned for results from Tonto Verde Golf Club.
