Omaha, NE – 30 teams and 120 players took on Oak Hills Country Club today in a Pro-3Am event, presented by E-Z-GO/Miller & Sons Golf Cars and Callaway Golf. Scoring conditions were above average and low-scores were posted in both the Pro-Only and team divisions. The format in the team division was 1 net best ball on par 3’s, 2 net best ball on par 4’s and 3 net best ball on par 5’s. The day was highlighted by Stone Creek GC’s TJ Loudner, PGA firing a 66 (-5) late in the day to win Low-Pro honors.
Early in the slate of tee times, Dakota Dunes’ Nick Wanderscheid, PGA and Wayne Country Club’s Kyle Schellpeper, PGA fired respective rounds of 68 (-3) before Ted Digiacomo, PGA matched it at the end of the day. In the end, 3-under-par wasn’t good enough with the impressive score Loudner put together. After opening 34 (-2) on the front nine, he kept it steady par on the back before catching fire in his last four holes. He went on to birdie 14, 16 and 17 to capture low-Pro honors.
In the team division, Wanderscheid and his team of three amateurs Jackson Thompson, BJ Thompson and Mark Brown lead early and never looked back.
