Hill Country Pairs Shine in Sin City
Scott R Chilcutt, Las Vegas, NV (February 5, 2012) The Golf Channel Amateur Tour finished the 9th annual Duel in the Desert golf tournament on Saturday. The first time it has been held in Las Vegas, Saturday's round was contested under beautiful skies and light winds after starting out the event in what seemed to be hurricane force winds. 2-person teams competed on the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort’s three courses (Wolf, Sun Mountain, Snow Mountain) with three different formats of 2-person scramble, best-ball, and modified alternate shot.
Flight TWO Champions: Leading after the first round scramble play, Hill Country players Ron Finnerty from Laredo, TX and San Antonio, TX Mark Miller slid back to second spot by only a stroke after the best ball competition on day two. Finnerty and Miller shot a one under par - 70 on four birdies in arguably the hardest format on Saturday to stay clear of the next team by 15 strokes and bring home the championship.
In other awards, Hill Country player, Ramon Colen from San Antonio, TX competing with his son Trevor were awarded best dressed team by the Golf Channel marketing staff after syncing their outfits during the three days of competition.
Next Up - Hill Country Tour tees it up at the Kerrville Championship at The Club @ Comanche Trace on February 11, 2012. Dallas Tour resumes play at the Grand Prairie Classic on February 18, 2012. Oklahoma Tour is off until 2012 at the ST. Patty's Day @ KickingBird event. The first Major in the Central Region of the 2012 points year (another sell out) will be held at Horseshoe Bay for the Texas Open.
