Iowa State golfer and
Waterloo native Nathan Leary fired a final round 5-under 67 to
win the 2009 Hunters Ridge Amateur by a stroke over Cedar
Rapids' Nate Dunn. Leary's stellar final round featured a
4-under 32 over the final nine holes. Leary eagled the
par-5 12th and birdied 15 and 16 against no bogeys to catch
Dunn.
Dunn, whose opening
round 68 shared the lead with third-place finisher Brad George,
birdied the first two holes of the final round and held a two
shot lead thru 12. After a bogey at the 13th by Dunn and
Leary's birdie at 15 the two were tied at 6-under. Then
both players made a deuce on the par-3 16th to remain tied with
two holes to play. Dunn, however, would go on to bogey the
17th while Leary would par, giving him the eventual margin of
victory.
Dan Dalziel, of
Burlington, shot a two-round total of 1-under 143 to win the
Senior Division by two strokes over Jim Butler of Fort Madison.
Todd Hingtgen of Marion finished third. Dalziel's even-par
final round of 72 was steady, as he managed two birdies against
just two bogeys. |
