Dusek Captures Nebraska Mid-Amateur Championship
Omaha - Rick Dusek of Omaha shot a two-under par 70 in the final round of the Nebraska Mid-Amateur to claim a five stroke victory on Sunday at Bellevue's 6,850 yard, Par-72 Willow Lakes Golf Course. He finished with a two day total of two-under par 142.
Lynn Johnson of Blair claimed sole possession of second place with a final round of four-under par 68 to finish the championship at 147. His 68 was the low round of the championship. Fremont's John Sajevic shot an even-par round of 72 and finished alone in third with a two day total of 148. 2004 Nebraska Mid-Amateur champion Pete Godwin finished tied for 14th with a two day total of 153.
Starting the day with a three stroke lead after a first round 72, Dusek bogeyed the opening hole then made birdies on the 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th holes to shoot a two-under par 34 on the front nine. He then proceeded to make nine straight pars on the back nine to finish at 70.
Dusek credited a second round 68 at last week's Columbus Classic for igniting his game leading up to the Mid-Amateur.
"Ever since that round, I've been confident and had a relaxed attitude," Dusek said.
He also attributed his consistent scoring to a good short game.
"If I missed a green, I made some good up-and-downs to keep myself in it and that's what you need to do out here because there are some birdie holes," Dusek said.
