Jon Lindstrom of The Heritage at Westmoor and Dean Clapp of Meadow Hills Golf Course won their second consecutive CGA Two-Man Team Championship on Friday, becoming the first pair to win the open division of the event twice.
Lindstrom and Clapp made a par on the first playoff hole (No. 9) at Coal Creek Golf Course to defeat Erik Hogan of Buffalo Run Golf Course and Kai Koponen of Ptarmigan Country Club. Both teams matched scores for the second straight day — 64-70 — to force sudden death. Tad Willenbrock of Glenmoor Country Club and Jim Doidge of Pueblo Country Club finished third with a 138 total.
Lindstrom and Clapp made four birdies and two bogeys in Friday’s Foursomes (alternate-shot) format.
Only one other person has won the CGA Two-Man Team open division twice, and Ben Portie did it with different partners in 2000 and 2001.
In the senior division, first-round leaders Pat Bowe of CommonGround Golf Course and Dave Brown of Flatirons Golf Course won by four strokes over three teams, closing with a 3-over-par 75 for a 3-under 141 total.
