There were some crazy high rated rounds, and several playoffs to decide who would be named the winner at this tournament!

In MPO:
The hottest round of the day definitely goes to Andrew Presnell, who recently won the Champions Cup in Illinois, and shot a 1043 in Round 1 and a 1044 in Round 2! Andrew definitely was on fire throughout the tournament! Congratulations Andrew on your well earned victory!

In MP40:
There was a fierce three way playoff for first place between Corey Riley, Chris Goodman, and Dasun Keylor in the MP40 Division. After one playoff hole, Corey Riley took first place with a great drive and 20 foot putt for birdie. Congratulations Corey on the win!

In MA1:
Tyler Northrip and Justin Knuckles tied for first and battled through 4 holes before a winner was declared. That was no easy feat after a 40 Hole day of competition! In the end, Justin Knuckles claimed the victory! Congratulations Justin on the win! Despite having not won first place, Tyler Northrip decided to throw one more hole after the tournament was over, and ended the day with an Ace just for fun!

In MA2:
Nathan Huffman and Neil Seaman had to playoff for 1st place to decide the winner of MA2 after yet another tied finish. After one hole Neil came out on top as the winner! Congratulations Neil Seaman on your first place finish!

In MA50:
In the fourth tie of the day Toby Rector and Tim Wilson tied for 1st place in their division. It only took one hole of play for the winner to be determined! Congratulations Tim Wilson on your win!

Congratulations to all players who cashed in the tournament!

Congratulations to our CTP winners:
Unbranded CTP Hole 5- Russ Burns MP40

Unfortunately, he was not in on the Ace Pot, but still congratulations on the Ace! There was $260 in the Ace pot.

Ice Bowl was definitely the right name for this year’s Bear Hollow tournament as the temperature off the tee for Round 1 was a bone chilling 9 degrees. By Round 2 temperatures had only rose to 19 degrees, but the sun was out and it was still a great day to play!
