Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Great day to play golf.  Cool in the morning, but nice by the time we teed.  We played the ball down and that added a few strokes especially in the rough.  The course was in good shape though.  Best I have seen it in several years.  Jake has a great front with even par.  Had a stretch of bogies on the back and finished 4 over.  Had a couple of bad lies that didn’t help him.  Ben had some good holes but struggled with some short shots into greens.  Still played well with a 76.  Zac had a great day today.  One over is an excellent score.  We will see if he is in a playoff or not for medalist.  Good to see Nate come in below 10 over with an 80.  He hit the ball well.  Missed a few putts that he thought he should have made.  Cyle and Matt also had a good round.  I talked to Cyle with 3 holes left and he was 6 over.  Good to see him finish at 5.  He completed his round well.  Matt had me worried after the first few holes but pulled it around.  Great to see him shoot 3 under on the front.

Then we had the play off between Kyle Somers of Creston and Zac.  It went 4 holes with both players making some key clutch putts.  Zac started by flying the green and had a great chip back to about 6 feet.  He made the putt to extend.  Both parred the next hole.   Moved to par 3 and both had some close rolls for birdie then back to 18 where both flew the green again.  Nice chips but Kyle made the par putt and Zac’s just slipped by.  Fun to see both compete well.  It could have gone on for several more holes.”
