Ed Wyatt had to dig deep in knocking out John Sajevic in a comeback victory at Hillcrest Country Club.
Wyatt drew John Sajevic in the championship match at Hillcrest Country club in Lincoln, Neb. After playing outstanding golf the first two days of the championship, Wyatt had to navigate his B game in the final.
“I was not playing well at all today,” Wyatt said. “I only hit seven greens in regulation, but I just kind of kept fighting. Honestly, I was very fortunate. John just missed some shots and putts he never misses. That was helpful to keep me in it, but I did keep fighting and kept trying to get closer.”
