HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Nick Hague left little doubt Sunday in securing another Hutchinson City Stroke Play championship.
After carrying a one-shot lead into the final round at Crazy Horse Golf Course, Hague surged away from the field with a 5-under-par 67 that featured two eagles and just one bogey. Combined with his 71 at Carey Park in Saturday’s opening round, Hague finished with a two-day total of 134, 12 strokes clear of the field.
Defending champion Jason Odell was the only other player to break 80 in the final round, carding a 74 to finish runner-up at 146. Hogan Smith placed third with a 148, while Jake Winchester’s 157 earned him fourth.
Winners were also crowned in three additional flights. Kirk Holmberg took the First Flight title with a 160, edging Ryan Allan (161), Korey Holmberg (164) and Josh Gooch (165). In the Second Flight, Kevin Rogg fired a two-round 166 to finish atop Doug Christman (168), Greg Flores (170) and Konner Harms (171). Dustin Anderson claimed the Third Flight with a 177, followed by Joe Palacioz (179), Jeff Schrock (180) and Marc Ahrens (186).
Tournament organizers thanked all participants and noted the next event, the Hutchinson City Team Championship, is scheduled for Sept. 20-21.
