Price won the Illinois State Mid-Amateur in 2014 by two shots, and now he is a two-time winner by two shots once again
History repeated itself for Andrew Price in the Illinois State Mid-Amateur Championship Tuesday at Park Ridge Country Club.
In 2014, the then-32-year-old closed out his first State Mid-Am triumph, winning by two strokes.
Price hoisted the crystal hardware anew in the event’s 32nd iteration, two shots again the margin of victory. His 5-under total for 54 holes was good enough to beat Michael Mounce and Daniel Stringfellow, who finished T2 at 3-under.
“It feels good. I’ve been close the last couple of years and didn’t get it done,” Price said, alluding to one-stroke runner-up finishes in 2023 and 2022. “It was nice to play well enough to win.”
Entering Tuesday’s 18-hole finale tied with Mounce atop the leaderboard and four others being within two strokes, Price quickly seized control.
A wedge to tap-in distance at the first and accompanying circles on the par-5 third and par-4 sixth set the tone for Price’s ascension.
“I figured that guys were going to make a move,” Price said. “There’s definitely some birdies out there, so getting off to a good start was nice.”
