D4 contributed to the birdie barrage with Brown, Finch, Lupfer, Connor Rogers and Ray Rowland all sinking birdie putts.
DIVISION 5: An oncourse playoff was in the making for Division 5 at Riverdale Dunes. Brandon Jansson, winner of D5 at the last tournament at Murphy Creek, ended up in a tie with Taylor Fortini after 18 holes as they needed extra holes to determine the winner. Brandon and Taylor had matching scores of 89 (41-48 for both players) and headed to the 1st tee with several spectators in attendance to watch the playoff. Both players aimed their tee shots directly at the pin going for the green. They both were safely in the fairway and not in the knee-high grass in front of the green. Taylor’s chip shot went over the green, while Brandon’s found the green safely. Jansson two putted for par while Fortini’s chip put him on the green but gave him a long putt. Fortini’s putt missed to
give him a bogey. Brandon won the 1st place trophy. D5 also contributed to the birdie total on the day with Cody Canzona and Raymond Lopez making birdie putts.
