Locke is Victorious at G.S.H #6 at Mill Woods GC
10 August, 2022
Today saw the second last G.S.H. event of the season at the always consummate tournament host - Mill Woods GC & Retiring Executive Professional - Darrell McDonald. We had excellent conditions throughout the day for our competitors, both weather-wise and on the course.
We had a jammed packed field of Seventy players for the event and some exceptional scores on the Leaderboard which made for a very exciting day for all. Two players rose above the rest of the field today after carding outstanding 64’s and battled it out over the 3 ensuing Playoff Holes for the 6th G.S.H. title of the season.
Winning his first event of the season was: Eric Locke (Priddis Greens G&CC) who had a superb round today firing 8-under par 64 which included 10 birdies on the card with only 2 bogey blemishes to show. Eric carded an outstanding 31 on the front-9 and a stellar 33 on the back-9 today. Eric ended up prevailing on the third Playoff Hole today making a Birdie on Mill Woods’ eleventh hole to vanquish his opponent.
Also firing a superb 8-under par today and finishing in solo second place was: Kasey Timms (Leduc GC). Kasey carded an excellent round today which included 9 Birdies and only 1 blemish to show. Kasey carded stellar 32’s on both 9’s today and will look to carry on his great play in next week’s Championship.
Rounding out our Top-5 today, in a 4-way tie for 3rd after carding 3-under par 69’s was: Sean Mills (Big Buck Golf Centre), Jared Nicolls (Rad Golf), Mitchell Fox (Speargrass GC), Kevin Black (Redwood Meadows G&CC).
In a two-way tie for 7th after carding 2-under par 70’s was: Keith Whitecotton (The Quarry) & Kent Fukushima (PGA of Alberta Member).
