Davlin Champion - Campbell Qualifies

Dave Davlin Champion - Michael Campbell Qualifies Nationals - Missouri Valley Championship

Branson, MO (April 28, 2013)  The annual Golf Channel AM Tour April Major in Missouri returned to Branson, coined as the community that "PUTS THE SHOW IN THE SHOW ME STATE". 

With the clubhouses situated on adjoining hill tops in the Ozark Mountains just south of Branson the John Daly's Murder Rock Golf Club and the Tom Fazio designed Branson Creek Golf Club created two very different challenges.  While rain virtually washed out the practice rounds on Friday, the nearly two inches that fell during the 24 hours changed any tricks that may have been discovered during those rounds anyway.  Overcast and cool mornings, with intermittent showers on Saturday gave way to a semi dry Sunday final round.  Tour players from 17 states and Canada, representing 25 Tours competed for 11 Flight Champion awards and 37 players made their reservations for the National Championship / Senior National Championship events in LaQuinta, CA in late September.

Nearly $1,400 was raised for the  Feherty's Troop First Foundation during the 50/50 drawing.




RESULTS:

Palmer Flight:  After taking a ten during the first round at the par 4 - 8th hole, his 17th of the day, the disappointment was short lived for Dave Davlin of San Antonio, TX when he saw his name on top of the leader board.  Davlin took three strokes off on his second round to pick up his tenth win on tour and second Major Championship by three stokes over a pair knotted up in the second place finish.  Hard charging Chad Schuchmann of Nixa, MO, T12 after round one, shot a course low 74 on day two to snuggle into a runner up tie with Louisville, KY resident Chris Jaggers.

Hogan Flight:  Paired in the second to last pairing of the flight,  Kevin Campbell of Westminister, MD made up an eight stroke deficit after day one for his fourth Major Championship and sixth win on tour.  Campbell, a former AM Tour Director from Baltimore took six strokes off his first day total to hold on to a two stroke win over Lawton, OK runner up, Jeffrey Banner.  The trio of  Joe Deere of Catoosa, OK, New Braunfels, TX member Michael Campbell and Trevor Peck of Shiloh, IL made a fivesome for National Championship qualifications.

The Dallas Tour members will tee it up next for the Bobcat Open at Texas Star on May 19th.    The Oklahoma Tour will resume play on May 11th at the Valley View Invitational in Farmington, AR.
