Qualifying Round
Gene Elliott never played the 15th hole at Fort Dodge
Country Club during this year’s IGA Senior Match Play.
“That was the key for me,” Elliott said jokingly.
In the final match, against Tom Norton, Elliott found himself
in unfamiliar territory, two down through four holes. Elliott
would win the fifth hole with a par and then would rattle off
four straight birdies on holes 7-10 to take a commanding
three up lead. Elliott would add two more birdies, six total in
an eight-hole stretch, to close out Norton 5&4.
The win marks the second year in a row that Elliott has won
this event and his third IGA Senior Match Play title overall.
In the President’s Bracket Final, Edwin Evans defeated John
Brooke 4 & 2. Evans mentioned that he was able to get off to
a nice start and not make too many mistakes as the morning
went along at Fort Dodge Country Club.
