Championship
Marc Engellenner went birdie-eagle late in the round (holes 15 and 16) and teamed with Zac Frazier to win the Championship Division by one stroke.
“We did have a really good finish,” Engellenner said. “Early on we were scuffling out there but then a lightning bolt hit and we got going. I hit a six-iron to six feet and made the eagle. Zac made birdie in front of me so it took all the pressure off.”
He said the team’s eyes were on their phones.
“Having the live leaderboard is just a great feature,” Engellenner said. “We looked on the 17th tee and saw we were right there and then just tried to hang in there.”
Engellenner added the team’s early struggle was partially due to lack of sleep.
“I had my air conditioning go out so I was downstairs sleeping on the couch for about three hours,” he said. “And Zac said he didn’t sleep well either. We car-pooled to the course at 5 (a.m.) and we were drinking coffee and Red Bull. We were on fumes. We finally got some food in us and got some energy and the ball started going in on the back nine.”
Engellenner said the one-day event was impressive.
“The Nevada Golf staff was great and the course was in immaculate shape,” he said of the duo’s first team win. “We had early tee times. It was just a great day.”

Senior
Ed Fryatt and Todd Roberts posted a scorching six-under-par 30 on the back nine en route to winning the Championship Division by three strokes.
The duo made the turn at one-under–overcoming a bogey on the scorecard on their first hole–and then went on their hot streak for the victory.
“We each had four birdies on the day and we didn’t make birdie on the same hole,” Roberts said. “We absolutely ham-and-egged it perfectly today.”
Roberts added both of them are playing well and it helped their confidence.
“Ed still has such a hot hand,” Roberts said. “He’s such a good, steady player and I’m starting to trend in the right direction so we were the perfect best-ball team today. Ed hits it longer but we’ve both got good short games and can make a lot of birdies. That’s a nice blueprint.”
Roberts said there are still little things that have to go well for best-ball success.
“You’ve got to have good discipline,” he said. “If the first guy’s in play it frees up the second guy a lot. But on the greens, I’m a firm believer that if you’re 25 feet away and if your partner is in closer, your job is to leave yourself a tap-in to let the guy with shorter putt have a stress-free roll at it.”
In the end, Roberts said the team’s attitude was also a key.
“We have a lot of fun playing together,” he said. “It’s always nice when you’re both playing solid golf. We didn’t make a lot of long putts for birdies but we made the short ones. For the day, we had a lot of good looks and that’s always a good sign.”

Silver
John Steele and David Foggia posted three birdies over a four-hole stretch on the front nine and held on for the Silver Division title, winning by one stroke.
Foggia, who had four of the team’s five birdies during the round, said their teamwork was ideal.
“I started kind of slow and John really held us together,” Foggia said. “John also chipped in twice, once for birdie and once for par. We only had one bogey so it was just a solid round by both of us.”
Foggia won this event last year but without Steele as his partner.
“His dad had just passed away so he couldn’t play,” Foggia said. “He’s such a great partner…it was great to have him back for this.”
Foggia said the turning point came at the turn.
“We both bogeyed No. 9 so that wasn’t good,” he said. “But we got it right back on No. 10. I stuck it to two-feet and made the birdie.”
