Iowa Cup: Iowa PGA pulls away in singles, captures 49th Iowa Cup
RIVERSIDE, IA (April 28, 2016) - With the help of a 12-
8 advantage in Singles Matches, the Iowa PGA Section
pulled away and won the Iowa Cup, 17.5-12.5, over
Team IGA.
Winning points this morning for the IGA were Justin
Pansegrau, Bill Manse, Scot Cook, J.D. Anderson, Josh
Black, Nate Dunn and Terry Cook. Joe Palmer earned a
.5 point for the team with a halve in his match.
Due to the poor conditions on Thursday afternoon,
the tournament committee decided to cancel the
afternoon Foursomes matches (alternate shot). The
matches were determined complete following the
conclusion of this mornings singles matches.
DAY ONE RECAP
It's hard to say that anyone necessarily had "fun"
during the first day of the 49th Iowa Cup Matches, but
one would presume that the Iowa PGA team had slightly
more fun than the IGA team. On a day of cold, blustery
and rainy conditions at Blue Top Ridge at Riverside, the
PGA took a 5 1/2 to 4 1/2 lead after the morning Four-
Ball matches were completed.
Players were faced with very difficult conditions on
Wednesday. A thunderstorm rolled through the area
early, which forced a delay at the start. Then the Four-
Ball session was played in mid 40 degree weather, with
nearly constant rain and 15 mph winds, gusting to 25.
Due to the poor conditions, the tournament committee
determined to cancel the afternoon Foursomes matches
(alternate shot). The matches will finish with 20 singles
matches on Thursday morning.
Winning a point for the IGA team were the teams of
Terry Cook & Scott Briggs, Joe Palmer & Brian Verduyn,
Scot Cook & Sam Zoske, and Ty Stewart & Kevin Ault.
The team of J.D. Anderson & Bret Taylor secured a 1/2
point.
