Austin Olson won his first men’s club championship after Kristin Hanson won her second women’s club title this weekend at Jackson Golf Club.
Olson won a tightly bunched field to win the men’s title with a 36-hole total of 154, one shot better than Jerrod Hansen’s 155. Sterling Bargfrede was third with 156. Nine-time champion Brent Chozen was fourth at 157.
Olson was six shots off the pace after shooting an 80 in Saturday’s first round. Hansen was the leader with a 74.
Olson carded 34 in his first nine on Sunday to take the lead. He birdied his first two holes and five of the first before a couple of pars to finish the front nine at three-under.
That gave Olson a two-stroke advantage over Hansen heading into the final nine holes.
Olson increased his lead to four shots, but Hansen would pull even by recording birdies on 4, 6, and 8.
Hansen narrowly missed his par putt on the 36th hole, with Olson making his par putt from seven feet out for the win.
Wally Rubis won the Senator Flight, Rick Reed and Kevin Holm tied for first in the Dick Kelly Flight, Cory Weets and Chris Perkins tied for the First Flight title, and Mark Leach won the Sunday Flight.
The women’s tourney was an 18-hole event on Saturday.
Hanson shot a 44 on her first round for a two-stroke lead over Kelly Benson. Hanson birdied No. 1 on her back nine and would continue to build her lead.
Hanson finished with a 40 on the back side for an 18-hole total of 84 to win by 15 strokes.
Three golfers finished at 99. On the tiebreaker, Tara Boogerd was second, Cindi Polz and Benson fourth.
