With a birdie on any of the final three holes last August, Phoenix pro Gavin Cohen could have joined the epic playoff that PGA Tour veteran Zac Blair eventually won in the Siegfried & Jensen Utah Open.

Cohen left Riverside Country Club with a tie for third place and good feelings. “I’ve been looking forward to coming back ever since,” he said Friday, after taking the first-round lead in the 54-hole event with a 7-under-par 65 in Provo. “Riverside is such a beautiful venue … and it fits my eye.”

California pro Josh Anderson posted a bogey-free 66, while the group at 67 was big and diverse: Braydon Swapp, the Utah Section PGA’s two-time Assistant Player of the Year; State Amateur champion Cole Ponich of BYU; Skyline High School senior Jackson Shelley, one of three brothers who are inside the cut line; Peter Kim, a Skyline graduate who plays for BYU; State Amateur runner-up Cooper Jones, who will interrupt his BYU career for a church mission to Peru in September; and two-time champion Clay Ogden, who seemingly just shows up in this tournament every August and plays well.

Among other notable players, former BYU golfers Carson Lundell and Rhett Rasmussen each posted a 68 after tying for third last year. PGA Tour rookie Patrick Fishburn, another ex-Cougar and CBS Sports broadcaster Tony Romo, now a Utah Open regular, each shot a 69. 

So did 65-year-old Jay Don Blake, who made four straight birdies (Nos. 13-16) as he tunes up for his 500th career PGA Tour start in the Black Desert Championship in October. Blair made 16 pars and two birdies for a 70.

Cohen began his morning round on the back nine with what he labeled “a dream start” with five birdies in six holes. He bogeyed Nos. 17 and 18, but then made four birdies on the front nine.

“I honestly just felt super comfortable out there,” he said, “and felt like I had a nice couple of weeks of prep going into the event. I’ve been working on some mechanical stuff, especially with my putting so it was nice to see it (work) today.”

Shelley, Ponich and Jones each made eight birdies and three bogeys. Kim’s only bogey came on the par-4 No. 18, concluding his round. Ogden made the only eagle among players high on the leaderboard, with a “3” on No. 13 in the afternoon.

Swapp, who was the low Utah Section PGA contestant last year, leads Camron Saunders by one stroke in that competition within the tournament. Steve Schneiter’s 69 gives him a one-shot edge over Todd Tanner in the Senior Sidebar.

The inaugural Western Shootout was a dream years in the making, brought to life by the determination of its founder, Glenmoor Golf Club’s PGA Professional Darci Olsen and the collaborative spirit of fellow PGA Jr. League coaches. 

The concept of a multi state team competition had been percolating in Olsen’s mind for some time, but it wasn’t until a chance meeting at the PGA Merchandise show in February that the vision began to take shape. With enthusiastic support from Tara and Blake Isakson, Zach Abels, and CJ Schmid, the event quickly transitioned from idea to reality, attracting teams from Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Arizona.

The success of the inaugural Western Shootout held July 26-27th at Glenmoor and TalonsCove Golf Clubs was a testament to the power of teamwork and shared passion for junior golf by PGA Professionals, coaches, players and families. The event featured 17 teams and 88 players, ranging from 9 to 17 years old. The format, a two-person team competition, offered players an opportunity to compete in familiar PGA Jr. League style in a championship environment, something many might not experience beyond their home-state competition. 

The highlight of the weekend was the camaraderie among players, coaches, and parents, particularly during the western-themed dinner party that brought everyone together in a celebration of golf and friendship.

Hosting the final round at Talons Cove, with the support of General Manager Kareen Larson, added an extra layer of excitement to the event. Not only did it provide a preview for the upcoming state championship, but it also showcased the quality of Utah’s golf courses. The Glenmoor Golf Club teams dominated the competition, claiming victory in both the 17u and 13u divisions, with Canyon Springs from Idaho finishing as strong runners-up. The event’s success was evident not just in the competitive spirit, but in the joy and connections it fostered among participants.

Looking ahead, the Western Shootout is poised to become an annual tradition, with plans already in motion for next year. The vision is to expand the event’s reach, rotating through home courses in Nevada, Wyoming, Arizona, and beyond, thereby increasing the travel team schedule and providing more players with the chance to experience the thrill of championship golf. The ultimate goal is to create a network of events that align with the PGA Jr League’s mission to offer meaningful, competitive opportunities for young golfers.

One of her current BYU teammates joined Adeline Wach in the final group and their coach watched them play Tuesday. Yet the triple-digit temperature made the setting a little different than the last time they got together.

They were not in Ireland anymore.

The Cougars’ two-week, 12-round tour got them accustomed to 70-degree weather, unlike the summer heat in Provo. “You know you’re coming back to it,” Wach said with a laugh and a shrug. “You can’t change the weather. You just deal with it.”

Riding around Timpanogos Golf Club in a cart and wearing a sleeveless shirt were Wach’s concession to the conditions, and she thrived. She shot 67-66 for an 11-under-par total and a six-stroke victory over former BYU teammate Kerstin Ngakuru in the 8^th Siegfried & Jensen Utah Women’s Open.

Ngakuru (71-68) earned $2,000 as the low professional.She credited Wach for motivating her in an effort to stay ahead of former Weber State golfer Kiseyla Salcedo (73-68) in the pro competition.

“Oh, man. She stayed consistent the whole day,” Ngakuru said of the former Adeline Anderson, the 2022 Women’s State Amateur runner-up. “It really pushed me, honestly, to keep up with her. It’s really impressive for her to go low one day and go even lower the next.“

Wach isthe sixth straight collegiate winner of the Utah Women’s Open, joining BYU’s Ngakuru (the former Kerstin Fotu) and Lila Galea’i on that list. She tied the tournament record set by former BYU assistant coach Lea Garner, a pro who won the first two events in 2017 and ‘2018 on this course, prior to Timpanogos’ extensive renovation.

Having taken a four-stroke lead into the final round,Wach was never really threatened. She liked the way she approached the day, saying, “I’ve been working a lot on sticking to my process, no matter what. And so I felt like I had to do that a little deeper and kind of feel my process a little bit more, because it’s hard to follow up a good round.”

The native of Southern California punctuated Tuesday’s round with an eagle on the par-4 No. 14, a hole that was set up as driveable. Her conservative strategy worked wonderfully. After a 6-iron shot off the tee, she pitched in from 67 yards. “When I hit it, I thought it was super long, but I looked up and everyone’s saying it went in,” she said. “So that was fun.”

Devin Dehlin, Executive Director of the Utah Section PGA, observed during the awards presentation, “Looks like we’ve got a lot of blue in the house.”

BYU golfer Whitney Banz (71-70) contributed to that picture, tying for third place overall with Salcedo, who was recently named an assistant coach at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

Wach and her teammates missed this year’s Women’s State Amateur while in Ireland, but she’ll be a contender in next week’s Utah Women’s Stroke Play Championship at Mountain Dell GC. And then she’ll use her winner’s exemption into the Siegfried & Jensen Utah Open at Riverside Country Club, where Ngakuru became the first woman to make the 36-hole cut in 2021, playing as a collegian.

Wach credited BYU coach Carrie Roberts for “working with me all summer,” helping her become more steady.

As for Ngakuru, this was her last tournament prior to LPGA Tour qualifying, starting Aug. 22 in Rancho Mirage, California. “I see things paying off and, mentally, it feels like I’m in a good place,” she said after making 11 birdies in two days.

Women’s State Amateur runner-up Ali Mulhall (73-69), who placed fifth, will join Ngakuru in the LPGA pursuit. She’ll remain an amateur through the first two stages, though.

Other notable performances included a closing 69 for Lone Peak High School senior Adley Nelson, who finished sixth, and eight birdies in two rounds by Garner, who tied for seventh with Utah PGA Professional Haley Sturgeon. Garner’s $1,150 check boosted her Utah Women’s Open career earnings to more than $13,000.

Many thanks to Timpanogos Golf Club PGA Professional Brett Watson and his staff for hosting the 8th annual Seigfied and Jensen Utah Women’s Open.

At the end of another hot and action-packed day at famed Congressional Country Club, Avery McCrery and Baylor Larrabee rose to the challenge to win the 48th Junior PGA Championships

By Garrett Johnston

On a sweltering, humid day in Washington, DC, Brock Porter finished his debut Junior PGA Championship on Friday with a closing 4-over par 76 on Congressional Country Club’s Blue Course for a 4-over total for the week that placed him tied for twenty-seventh.

For the St. George resident and his parents Troy and Amy, it was his first trip to the nation’s capitol. Though there wasn’t any time for sightseeing on this stop, Brock gave plenty of fireworks early in then week with a share of the co-lead.

“It was interesting. It was just the first round lead, so I wasn’t too nervous (sleeping that night),” Porter said. “I knew I still had to put three more good rounds together. I was definitely a little nervous, but it was a pretty fun experience and it was exciting.”

Getting to play such a famous course with a lot of history got Porter’s attention this week too.

“It was just awesome. It’s a great course and a really good test I think. Just being out there knowing that there’s been so many good players who have competed there and won there, it’s just pretty cool to be able to play there as well,” Porter said.

So after a long week in the heat, and a T27 (+4) 70-73-73-76 – 291 finish, how does Porter rate his performance?

“It was pretty good overall. I would give it a B plus,” Porter said. “The driver on day two and day three I wasn’t hitting enough fairways. That put me in positions where it was harder to hit greens in regulation, and I ended up making a few mistakes.”

Though Porter didn’t finish as strong as he’d hoped, he felt grateful for his parent’s support all week.

“They’ve always been there for me. They’re the only reason that I’m able to come out and compete in all of these tournaments and play my best,” Porter said. “They never forced anything on me, especially golf. No matter how I play, they always love me. Unconditional, for sure”

The 16-year-old has come a long way since first picking up a club at five at The Oaks GC. He says he feels like an underdog when it comes to college interest in his game, and there’s a lot to prove as his senior high school golf season kicks off soon.

Moving Day at the 48th Junior PGA Championship saw Utah’s Brock Porter advance to the final round. Another hot day on the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club proved challenging.

Day three saw typical humid summer weather and high temps at the Junior PGA Championship. As players sweated out their rounds the lead in the Boys Division has condensed to a group of four players. Another five players sit just one shot back at -5 through three rounds, with the tournament finishing today.

For St. George’s Brock Porter, a 3-over through 4 start left him temporarily two shots outside the cut line but it was’t enough to derail his day. A 3-under 33 on the scenic back nine got him in at even par 72 for the day and even-par for the championship heading into today’s final round.

“I didn’t hit the driver great on the front nine, that led to a struggle. I went bogey and a double back to back which was unfortunate, and hurts the momentum,” Porter said. “Then I birdied the first three holes of the back nine, so that really got me going. Then I felt I finished really well.”

A birdie on the 18th certainly helped his position. 

And a great tee shot on the gorgeous downhill par 3 10th hole got him off to a critical stretch of three consecutive birdies that kept him in the cut and on the fringe of the hunt.

“I hit a little 9 iron on 10 and it drew back into the back left pin, then had about 10 feet and made it, so that was good.”

How does he feel for the final round?

“It should be good. I’ll be excited and hopefully I can play really well. That’s the goal.”

At the end of a day that featured heat, humidity and an hour-long rain delay, Utah’s Brock Porter has made the cut and sits in the top 20 following the second round of the 48th Junior PGA Championships at Congressional Country Club.

St. George’s Brock Porter remains the high Utah performer after a 2-over 73 on Congressional’s Gold Course saw him finish in a tie for 17th at even par for the Junior PGA Championship. In the Boys Division, the cutline was 4-over, with 66 advancing to play on Thursday. A second cut will be made after 54 holes to the low-30 girls and low-30 boys, plus ties.

The St. George resident posted an impressive 2-under 70 on the better known Blue Course in Tuesday’s opening round to tie for the lead, but ran into a tough challenge on the fast and firm conditions of day two.

“It was pretty tough out there. I didn’t have all of my game, but I just kept grinding and tried to do the best I could and finish well,” Porter said.

Doing his best included an eagle 3 on the par 5 7th.

“I hit a 4 iron and I was hoping it would hit right of the bunker and it ended up bouncing on and running up to about six feet-and then I made it, so that was nice.”

The top 60 and ties make the first cut here at Congressional, and now Porter trails the co-lead by 5 shots.

What’s the focus heading into tomorrow? 

“I’ve just got to stay steady out there. Anything can happen, so I will try and hit it a little better and do my best to roll some good putts.”

Toa Ofahengaue finished his championship outside the 5-over cutline after another 4-over round put him at 8-over for the event.

Lincoln Markham finished his championship at 10-over par after a 6-over 77 on the Gold Course.

“This is a course and event where you’ve just got to enjoy it, really. This is my last junior event because I’m eighteen right now so this is definitely a good one to cap it off,” Markham said on Monday afternoon before the opening round began on Tuesday.

In the Girls Division, Emma Lillywhite finished at 16-over for both days after a 6-over 78 on the Blue. Navy Hubbs shot 22-over for both days after an 85 today.

Congressional Country Club tested the top junior golfers early and often during the first round of the 48th Junior PGA Championships, with just 27 golfers—13 girls and 14 boys—finishing under par. 

A rare cool summer day in Washington, DC saw the opening round of the 2024 Junior PGA Championship get started on Tuesday, and Utah’s representation of five juniors took a shot in the arm when St. George’s Brock Porter nabbed a tie for first in the Boys Division after a sizzling 2-under 70 on the more recognizable Blue Course. The Gold Course is the other course used this week.

“The course is tough and the wind makes it really hard. I played well,” Porter said. “I think the key was I did all the main things well. I drove the ball well, hit my irons pretty nicely, and I putted well on the greens.”

Lincoln Markham shot a 4-over 76 today to stand in a tie for 69th place. The current UGA Utah Junior State Amateur champ enjoys the way the course plays, and will certainly be looking for a turnaround for round 2 to get back in the fight, as the top 60 and ties from each division makes Wednesday night’s cut after round 2.

“This is definitely one of the nicest golf courses I’ve ever played,” Markham said this week. “Really it’s in such good shape and it’s special out here. Definitely in the future I want to watch the pros play out here. It’s a fun course.”

Toa Ofahengaue from Lehi shot a 6-over 78 in his opening round on Tuesday. He stands in a tie for 87th place at the moment entering round 2. Toa would figure to need an under par round to make a move up the board into the cut line in the low 60 and ties. Toa made the Wednesday cut last year and said he’s learned to give full focus and commitment to execution in each shot more recently as he seeks to continually improve.

In the Girls Division Navy Hubbs is out here representing the Salem area and Emma Lillywhite is out representing Orem. Both girls struggled on Day 1 with the lightning fast greens at Congressional and Hubbs posted a 9-over 80 on the Gold Course and Lillywhite finished with a 10-over 81. The girls will play the Blue Course for round two, as the boys head to the Gold.

The introduction of the Mountain Cup added another layer of excitement to the season. Following the Junior Major Championship, the top eight boys and the top four girls in the 16-18 division form the Utah PGA teams to compete against juniors from the Colorado Section. The inaugural Mountain Cup teams will be held Sept. 28-29 at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen, CO.

Players moving on to college golf will be replaced.

We would like to thank all Section Professionals and staff who hosted Junior Majors this season.

This year, the Utah PGA Junior Major tournament season saw remarkable participation, with 200 golfers qualifying through either automatic qualifications from the previous year or earning their spots via Q-school events. These players, members of the Junior Major season, competed for player points and tournament awards. The season’s success is proof of the hard work of the players, the host Professionals and the Utah PGA Jr. Series staff and interns, not only with the goal of competition but of camaraderie as well.

The tournament schedule featured a total of seven Junior Majors, consisting of five 36-hole events and two one-day events. These tournaments were spread across eight different golf courses throughout the state offering diverse, fun and challenging playing conditions. The addition of one-day events provided more playing opportunities and allowed players to accumulate more points towards the prestigious Player of the Year awards. This was a significant step towards enhancing the competitive junior golf landscape and ensuring that players had ample chances to improve while competing.

Utah PGA Junior Golf Manager Cassie Campos said, “A big focus of our program is to create a junior tournament environment that is enjoyable for all our players. I love to hear the players sit down after their round and tell me how much fun they had or a story about a great shot they hit. What we try to relay a lot to our players is that it may not be about the score after you are done playing, but the good times you had on the course, the friends you’ve made and the experiences that you are having.”

As the season progressed, players looked forward to the season ending Junior Major Championship teeing off today at Hobble Creek Golf Course in Springville, where 100 players will compete across four age divisions: Boys 13-15, Girls 13-16, Boys 16-18, and Girls 17-18. The Championship was open to all Junior Major members. This inclusive approach ensured that every member had a chance to compete for the top honors. The winners of the Championship and those earning Player of the Year awards in the 16-18 divisions earn exemptions into the Utah Open and the Utah Women’s Open, respectively.

The introduction of the Mountain Cup added another layer of excitement to the season. Following the Junior Major Championship, the top eight boys in the 16-18 division and the top four girls, excluding those who will be in college in September, form the Utah PGA teams to compete against juniors from the Colorado section. The opportunity to earn AJGA Performance stars and Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings further motivated Junior Major members to compete on a national level.

Reflecting on the season, Annie Fisher highlighted the crucial role played by PGA Professionals in developing and supporting the tournament series. Their dedication to creating a competitive and enjoyable environment for junior golfers has been instrumental in the success of the Utah PGA Junior Majors. From excellent tournament conditions, to fun tee prizes and refreshments, Section Members have gone above and beyond to make each event special. The collective effort of the Utah PGA community has provided a high-level experience for Utah’s juniors, fostering a love for the game and creating lasting memories.

Fisher said, “This tournament series is extra special to me, because our PGA Professionals are the ones who developed it. In a meeting years ago they decided they wanted to create a tournament series that mirrored junior events from when they played junior golf. They wanted great competition, on great golf courses and a small payout for the kids to use in the pro shop. 

“The PGA Professionals are all very involved in each of the events. The Glenmoor Major is our season opener, and Darci Olsen was there with a big happy welcome for the kids as we kicked off the season. She wanted to make sure lunches were on point, and tee prizes were fun. We had Dustin Volk, Davis County Director of Golf, out on the golf course making sure kids had bottles of water and that his courses were in great shape for the Valley View Davis event. Cody Lopez at Oquirrh Hills has always picked out an awesome tee prize and shows great passion to roll out the red carpet for the players. Wade Olsen was marshalling the golf course as the juniors participated at Old Mill and was excited to see them compete. Ryan Rhees takes great pride in the set up of his Utah County Rumble as he welcomes the kids to The Oaks at Spanish Fork. And what a treat to have a place like Hobble Creek be the closing event for the series. Utah PGA Vice President, Craig Norman has been a gracious host to the Junior Major Championship. 

“There are so many other PGA Professionals who are or have been involved in the tournament series. We are proud to provide such a high level experience to the juniors in our state, and we couldn’t do it without such amazing support from our PGA Professionals. Without them, the Utah PGA Junior Majors wouldn’t exist.”

The Utah PGA Junior Major tournament season has been a resounding success, offering many golfers a platform to showcase their talents and grow in the sport. With inclusive qualifications, additional playing opportunities, and the introduction of the Mountain Cup, the season has been a journey of development, competition, and fun. The unwavering support of PGA Professionals has been the cornerstone of this success, giving junior golfers in Utah an exceptional experience and memories that will last a lifetime.

Late in the afternoon of July 18, Utah PGA Executive Director Devin Dehlin celebrated professional Todd Tanner’s remarkable 11-under 133 performance, presenting him with the champion’s trophy. Tanner’s impressive rounds of 66-67 at Toana Vista Golf Club secured his first Utah Senior Open title. Runner-up Jeff Jolley earned the low amateur honors with an (-8) 69-67-136.

Among other age division winners, amateurs Mark Gardiner and Randy Hicken were recognized for their 5-under 139 scores securing first place in the Super Senior division. Professionals Roy Christensen, Scott Brandt, and Steve Schneiter tied for third place, just one shot behind the leading amateurs. Christensen also secured the Legend division title for players aged 70 and up.

The celebration really began the night before the final round, as both amateurs and professionals gathered at the Rainbow Hotel and Casino in Wendover, Nevada, to honor long-time Utah PGA Professional Bob Rudd. Rudd’s storied career spanned a variety of golf facilities, from a 9-hole executive course to a municipal facility to a high-end private golf club. “No question though,” Rudd said, “Park City Golf Club had become my home and my favorite place to be.”

The Utah Section PGA and Utah Golf Association jointly operate the Utah Senior Open at Toana Vista, with the Utah PGA tournament committee selecting an annual senior honoree who has significantly influenced Utah golf. Past honorees have included amateur players, tournament administrators, rules officials, and PGA Professionals.

Tanner, who co-owns InMotion Junior Golf and serves as the tournament director for Utah’s U.S. Kids Tour, is far from coasting into his senior playing days. Ahead of the championship, the 50-year-old (soon to be 51) worked with swing coach Matt Baird and added a new driver, 3-wood, and putter to his bag. This victory marks his first major title in a Utah PGA senior event.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to put a couple of good rounds together and compete with these guys,” Tanner said after the trophy presentation. “It’s nice to get in the winner’s circle again.”

Tanner, who had struggled with his putting, decided to switch to a mallet head style putter. “I’ve had that putter probably since 2008. So it was just kind of, let’s try something new and see,” he explained.

Over 36 holes, Tanner made 13 birdies and an eagle, offset by four bogeys, including two on the final hole. His name now joins the prestigious list on the Utah Senior Open trophy.

Winning in a year that honors Bob Rudd holds special significance for Tanner. “I’ve loved Bob Rudd forever,” he said. “To have won this event with him, such a major part of Utah golf history, this is going to go a long way.”

Riding high on this confidence, Tanner looks forward to competing in next month’s Utah Open and then the Utah Senior PGA Professional Championship qualifier and Utah Section Championship in September.

Many thanks to our friends and hosts at Wendover Resorts and Toana Vista Golf Club.
