Steele Dewald led Utah to the team win by securing the individual competition by two shots

Utah won the 2024 Mid-Am Team Championship at Las Vegas Paiute Resort, the Wolf Course, in Las Vegas, Nev., by two shots over California North.

Utah finished even par with rounds of 220-215-213 to win over California North, who shot rounds of 219-216-215 to get to 2-over, two shots back of team Utah in solo second place. Nevada was the only other team that kept it close, finishing in solo third place at 5-over.

In the individual competition, Steele Dewald finished 5-under to win by two shots over Mike Perchak, who finished in solo second place at 3-under.

Dewald shot rounds of 71-69-71 to get to 5-under. He bogeyed his first hole in the final round but played the rest of the round at 2-under to secure the win.

Kenny Palmer finished in solo third place at 1-under, Matt Mitchell finished in solo fourth place at even par, and Jeff Rangel finished in solo fifth place at 2-over to round out the top five.

The Mid-Am Team tournament is comprised of four-man teams, and it provides an opportunity to represent your state or region. It lasts four days, with one practice round and three tournament rounds.

The best 3 scores will count each day to determine the overall team champions.

At 7,604 yards, the Wolf Course is the longest in Nevada. The newest and most difficult, also known as the signature course, leads the pack, but golfers can temper the challenge with its five tee options.

The course is infamous for its severe undulations, alternate landing areas, and a stunning 15th-hole island green.
