Fink continues his dominating ways in the Senior Division at The 2016 Nye County Amateur Championship

Steven Fink would like to play more golf, but when he does, he normally wins.

Fink has resigned to a weekend golfer with the ability to play in Senior Tournaments with the SNGA and he is fine with that, especially when he shoots 144 for two days. This is Fink’s third win of the season. John Turk finished in second place with a two day total of 152.

The 2016 Nye County Amateur Championship was played at Mountain Falls Golf Club in Pahrump, Nevada.

This is the Southern Nevada Golf Association’s fifth championship series event of the year. There are a total of 12 championship events, including 4 majors.

In the Championship division, former USC Tennis player Nick Rainey shot 146 for two days to secure his first SNGA Championship Series Title. Rainey clipped Darrell Lutey by one shot after Lutey shot a strong final round 71. Jeremy May and Joey Leonard rounded out the Top with scores of 148 and 150, respectively.

In the Senior Net Division, SNGA regular Michael Campbell put together two quality rounds of Net 69-72 to hold off the Mountain Falls member Randy Pollack.

New to the Super Senior Division, “youngster” John Garrett closed out the event strong with an even par 72 to win by 2 shots.  Kevin Parrish gave Garrett a run the over the two-days, but in the end just couldn’t quite get over the hump.  With these two additions to the division, the Player of the Year race may be closer than in years past. It was more of the same in the Super Senior Net as Tom Richardson collected some more Net hardware with two quality rounds (73-69).

Ken Paul took the Net division by storm this weekend.  He backed up a first round 73 with a Net 66 on day 2.  Paul used the strong play to win the division by 9 shots.  John Thompson took home the second place crown.  The highlight of the tournament came out of the Net division as Gary McCollum aced the Par 3, 4th hole in round 1!
