Greve Hangs on to Win First State
Amateur Championship
A
fter Ben Greves'
opening-round 66
on his home course
at Olympic Hills
Golf Club, the former University
of Minnesota golfer hung on over
the final two days of the 119th
Minnesota Golf Association
Amateur Championship in
grueling conditions to claim
a one-stroke victory over
Jack Ebner for his first
state title in five seasons.
" I played fantastic on
Day One. The course
wasn't as windy, but it
was set up really difficult
and it was long, "
Greve said. " I gave myself
a big buffer coming
in and, obviously,
didn't have to play great
the rest of the way. "
" I didn't quite have it today
like I did the other two days.
I didn't control the ball as well and
the speed with my putter was off
all day. My game plan changed
throughout the day, and I thought
I did a really good job the first 12
holes of playing against myself and
the course. "

Entering the final round with
a five-stroke lead, Greve posted a
7-over 79 to claim his first state win
since his back-to-back titles at the
Minnesota State Open in 2016 and
2017. His win marks the second
consecutive wire-to-wire winner at
the championship, and he becomes
just the second player since 1948 to
win the MGA Amateur Championship
at his home course.
" It means a lot to win here, " said
Greve. " It's a fun place and we had
six guys from our club play in the
event and play well. I have a lot of
friends out here and everyone was
talking about the tournament the
last few weeks going into it, so that
part is really special. "
Greve started fast by carding a
birdie on the opening hole to move
to 6-under for the championship
and then got up-and-down from
a greenside bunker at the third to
save par.
Despite a pair of bogeys over his
next six holes to turn in 4-under,
Greve still maintained a four-shot
advantage.
Even after two more bogeys over
his first three holes of his back
nine, Greve was fortunate enough
