Blackwell wins BDGA Tournament of Champions

Men's Division:
James Blackwell, the 2011 BDGA Junior Player of the Year, and the 2011 NYSGA Junior Champion shot a round of 69, three under par to win the Men’s title.  Following a fine front side where he shot a one over par 37, James turned in on, on the back with a four under par 32, including an eagle on the 10th hole, after driving the green, with a 313 yard drive.  Click on the final results for scores from the Men’s Tournament of Champions held today at Fox Valley Country Club.  James is headed to Ball State University in Indiana where he will play for the team there.  Four shots behind Blackwell, were the duo of Desmond Stoll and Danny Yustin.

Women's Division:
High school junior, and 2011 BDGA Women’s Individual Champion, Michelle Hanes, showed her game today, posting a round of 77, to win the women's title by 3 strokes over Barb Rieman and Chelsea Dantonio.  Click on the final results for scores from the women's division.  A front nine score of 1 over par 37, set Michelle up for victory.  Michelle will be defending her BDGA Women’s Individual Championship title at Bridgewater CC at the end of June.

This tournament has been brought back into the BDGA championship rotation, after an absence of a decade. It is hoped that over the coming years, this becomes a major event.  For further information I can be reached at the number listed below.
