Jon Brown of Urbandale
fought both the wind and the
field to win the 2017 Carroll
Amateur.
Brown opened up the first
round with a 73 (+2) trailing
Zach Christianson by one.
The second round brought a
couple more names into the
mix with Brad Krohn coming from behind, shooting
a 69 (-2) to position himself in a tie for second with
Brown at 147. J.J. Cooney also had a strong second
round shooting 71 (E), moving into the lead at 145.
The final round was all about survival. Brown played
steady and snuck his way back into the lead. He only
had one major blemish on his card, a double bogey
on the 15th hole. He turned in a 73 (+2) that would
eventually put him two shots clear of Cooney.
In the Senior Division Bret Taylor won handily
over Gary Ellis. He shot rounds of 75-68 (143). Rob
Christensen was the low Super Senior after finishing
3rd overall in the Senior Division.
Gene Elliott, of West Des
Moines, won his third Iowa
Masters title after posting
a 54-hole total of 205,
11-under par.
Elliott shot rounds of 66-69-
70 to edge out Jon Brown, of
Clive, who has four Masters
titles of his own. Brown shot
three rounds of 69 for a total
of 207 (-9).
Iowa Amateur Champion Trevor Ullestad, of Jewell,
finished in third place after shooting solid rounds of
71-71-69.
Marshalltown’s Cole Davis had a nice week as well,
finishing tied for eighth overall and was crowned
Junior Champion after shooting rounds of 73-72-74.
Ron Peterson, of Urbandale, left the Senior Division
field in the dust. He outdistanced Mike McDonald, of
Williamsburg, Virginia, and Pat Roan, of Swisher, by
12 shots. Peterson posted a 54-hole total of 211, (-5).

The 2017 Waterloo Open
left nothing back for the
local fans. Austin Quick, of
Phoenix, Ariz. won his biggest
event of his young career by
shooting rounds of 66-63-65
for a 194 total (-22). With this
win he took home $50,000 in
prize money.
Quick was tied for the lead
through two rounds with Zach
Wright of Stuart, Fla. Wright played an excellent final
round shooting 67 (-5), but was two shots shy of
overtaking Quick.
In the Amateur Division, Alex Schaake of Omaha, Neb.
won by three strokes over Trey Tussey. Schaake posted
rounds of 72-68-65 for a total of 205, (-11). The amateur
division plays three different courses in the Waterloo
area starting with either Gates Park or South Hills and
finishing up at Irv Warren.
The Senior Division was won by Joe Palmer, of
Urbandale. Palmer shot 71-68-69 for a total of 208, (-8).
Joe Urbanek, of Tripoli, captured the 2017 Fort Dodge
Amateur by a landslide. Urbanek won by a margin of
seven shots over the next closest competitor.
Urbanek, who shot rounds of 74-71-73, finished with
a total of 218 (+5). Runner-up finisher James Calkins,
from West Union, played
consistently with three 75s
but was unable to get enough
steam going to get close
enough to Urbanek.
The Senior Division turned
out to be a tight race between
Joe Palmer, of Urbandale, and
Bret Taylor, of Booneville.
Taylor held the lead by four
after rounds of 72-71, 143. That lead would dwindle in
the final round as Palmer would make a run on the front
nine.
Palmer turned in a 32, (-3) to Taylors 36, (+1). A four
shot swing would put them tied heading into the final
nine. Palmer ended up making nine straight pars to
narrowly beat out Taylor by a single stroke for the win.
