Both Kinney and Koberg, who squared off in the finals,
play golf for Iowa State University.
In the finals of the IGA Match Play, Kinney used a quick
start to race to a 3-up lead after only five holes. He made
the turn 4-up and never looked back, cruising to a 6 & 5
victory over his good friend and teammate, Koberg.
Kinney commented after his victory that his mindset from
the start to the end never changed.
“My goal this week was to just stay steady through all my
matches,” Kinney said. “I just wanted to make a ton of pars. I
did a really good job sticking to my game plan. It’s a tough golf
course and it got windy.”
