Rainy Day at Flower Mound Open

Scott R Chilcutt, Flower Mound, TX (June 22, 2014)  Our final of two stops at Dominion Golf Group courses in the Dallas / Fort Worth area challenged the patience and rain gear for the full field at the Flower Mound Open at Bridlewood.  20% chance or rain, or 80% chance of NO rain turned into the meteorologists 100% chance of being wrong.  Just before the first groups went off, sprinkles in the area started.  While most of it was light in nature, down pours at times took control of day.  With some luck, none of the clouds created any electricity, so the event went off with only a great deal of wet clothing and equipment.

Daniel Bohannon and Stan Harper, played with Srixon balls and took advantage of the Srixon ball promotion.  They will both receive a dozen Srixon's of their choice, for winning their respective flights. Daniel Bohannon also went on to win the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving.

RESULTS:

Championship Flight:  Highland Village, TX resident, John Bohling was +4 after seven holes, birdied the par 3 - 8th and then went on to shoot -2 over his final eleven holes.  With six birdies on the day, Bohling picked up his second win of the season and fourth on tour.  Three strokes back, first time player Daniel Dickens of Coppell, TX and Fort Worth, TX member, Jeremy Frenzel matched front nine and back nine scores to tie up the runner up finish.

Palmer Flight:   Gregory Haddon of Rowlett, TX starting on the 10th hole, opened his back nine with a pair of birdies at the par 4 - 1st and par 5 - 2nd  to finish his final nine in +1 to edge out Crowley, TX player John Sells by one stroke. It was Haddon's first win on the season and third in the last two years.  Sells, a runner up his last two times out and third on the year is just a few strokes from picking up his first win on tour.  Prosper, TX member, Chase Petersen birdied the par 4 - 5th to round out the top three, for his best finish on tour in his first year.

Hogan Flight:  Long time Mesquite, TX member, Gabriel Brisco stayed away from big scores to pick up his second win in as many attempts and sixth on tour.  Brisco, a winner his last time out at the  Fairview Classic @ Heritage Ranch stayed two strokes clear of Denver Tour player, David Keller of Silverthorne, CO.

Senior Hogan Flight:  Hill Country Tour traveler, Doug Collins of Iraan, TX picked up his second win on the year and second in as many attempts.

Senior Sarazen Flight:  Both, Mark Donohue of Lewisville, TX and Lake Kiowa, TX resident Davis Noble, double bogied the final hole of the day, the par 4 -9th and little did they know at the time that it would put them into extra holes.  On the first extra frame, Noble drained a 25' putt to keep it moving where they both would match shots on the next two sudden death playoff holes, until finally, Donohue took home the championship on the fourth.  It was Donohue's first win of the year and second on tour.  Birdie on the par 5 - 16th helped Steve Killion of Sanger, TX finish out the event in the third place position.

Jones Flight:  Daniel Bohannon of Plano, TX strung together birdies at the 14th and 15th holes, both par fours for his second win on his first season on tour.  Dion Casto of Parker, TX and North Richland Hills, TX tour player Luis Dayer matched front and back nine scores to share the runner up finish.  It was Casto's best finish since the February Grand Prairie Classic - TangleRidge and Dayer's best since our stop at the St Patty's Day Challenge @ Lantana.

The Cowboy Rides Away - Fort Worth Championship

Scott R Chilcutt, Fort Worth, TX (June 7, 2014)    Located on the east side of Fort Worth, Waterchase Golf Club is just minutes west of the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.  But more importantly on this day was its location to AT&T Stadium and the final George Strait concert.
