2020 IGA Tournament of Champions, Presented by Silvies Valley Ranch
Blue Lakes Country Club once again played host to the annual Tournament of Champions, which features club champions from all across the state vying to be the champions champion.
Great weather for early October meant lots of birdies were out there, and on the women’s side of things, Champion Kelli Ann Strand found all of them. After a first round 70 (-3), she was already seven shots clear, but that didn’t mean she was taking her foot off the gas. Round two saw seven birdies for the club champion from Challis GC , who finished the day with a 67 (-6), making her two day total an astounding 137 (-9).
The senior women’s division belonged to BanBury GC club champ, Stacey Camara, start to finish. A first round 75 (+2) was good enough for a two stroke lead going in to round two, and a 77 (+4) extended the lead two more, bringing the two day total to 152 (+6).
The senior men’s division saw plenty of action throughout the two day tournament, but in the end, even par was enough. McCall GC senior club champion, Kip Reeder, stayed steady both days posting consecutive even par rounds. That was good enough for a one shot victory over last year’s champ, Scott Masingill.
In the men’s division, the central mountains again made their presence known. McCall GC club champ, Marc Rhoades, posted a two day tournament total of 145 (+1) to outlast Keynan Fanslow, who shot 147 (+3). Rhoades shot rounds of 73, 72 to get the job done.
