On a tough weekend filled with rain, wind, and
cold
temperatures three golfers were able to get
HOT for a
one round.
And all three rode that
one
round to victory in the 36 hole 2012 Tour
Championship.
The net division was
won on
Sunday by Bart Goldie who was able to make
three
scratch birdies towards the end of his round
and finish
with a net 71 on Sunday for a 144 total to win
by five
shots.

In the senior flight, it was a
superb
71 by Dale Bouguennec on a terrible Saturday
for golf
(more like a frozen tundra Sunday than a
Northern
California Saturday) with 3 birdies and two
bogies. On
Sunday, his front nine let others think they
had a
chance, but he closed with a 3 under 33 on
the back
for a 73 and winning total of 144.
The
championship flight was won with the lowest
round of
the tournament by one of the youngest
competitors in
the field. Robert Briggs, a 9th grader at Novato
HS
Bart Goldie |
and a member at Marin CC shot a fantastic 70
on
Sunday. He missed just one fairway, made 4
birdies
and just 2 bogies for a 151 total and a one
shot win
over Andres Quintero.
"It feels great to get an amateurgolf.com win
under my belt," Briggs said following
the victory. "On Sunday, my ball striking and
putting were on."
With the Tour Championship complete, that
puts an end to the 2012 amateurgolf.com
Tournament
Series.
