Records Fall as VanArragon Dominates
Amateur Field at Minneapolis GC
A
fter winning the
Minnesota State Open
by nine strokes at Oak
Ridge Country Club seven days
prior, Caleb VanArragon then
claimed the lowest round in
Minnesota Golf Association
Amateur Championship history,
a 10-under 62 to take an
eight-stroke lead into the final
round and finished by carding
a 7-under 65 to earn a
record-breaking 12-stroke
victory on July 19 at the
Minneapolis Golf
Club.
VanArragon
becomes the
fourth player
in state history
to win both
championships
during the same
season, while setting
tournament
bests for 54-hole
aggregate
record
at 193, and score
in relation to par at
23-under.
" I hit the ball very well, but what
prevented me from making bogeys
was that I didn't short-side myself.
I was comfortable hitting into the
middle of the green, and confident
that I would make enough putts to
shoot a decent score. That was the
No. 1 takeaway from this tournament, "
VanArragon says.
Among a myriad of records to
fall this week, VanArragon broke
the course record with his secondround
62, as well as Bill Israelson's
margin
of
victory
from 1977,
when he won by eight strokes at
Interlachen Country Club.
" I didn't see this coming at all, "
VanArragon says, " I've been working
hard on my putting the last
month or two, and believed that
the changes I've been making were
going to pay off. My hope is that I
get to the point where I can reach
this level consistently, and have the
confidence that I have this in me. "
VanArragon rolled in three
consecutive birdies early Wednesday,
including a 20-footer at the
par-4 fifth to reach 19-under for
the championship.
