Sunshine and spring don’t usually come together in Utah, but it did for this years Utah Section PGA’s opening spring events! Soldier Hollow Golf Club in Midway, Utah previewed the Gold Course to local PGA Professionals on Monday. Host Professional Chris Newson ordered some of the best spring weather in a decade as the 2012 Spring Pro-Pro & Four-Ball Championship Seeding followed by the Utah Section PGA Spring Membership Meeting got underway Monday.
Zack Johnson and partner Shawn Edwards sent a message to the field by shooting the low Utah Section Spring Pro-Pro score of -8 under par (64). Only one stroke back was friends and fellow competitors Pete Stone and Dustin Volk at (65). The defending 2011 Four-Ball Champions Chris Moody and Matt Baird finished Monday’s seeding event three shots off the pace at (67). This is Zack Johnson’s third first place finish of the young season. All indications are that the Utah Section PGA Four-Ball Championship will provide great competitive matches for the entire season.
