Wednesday brought much needed relief to StateLine Amateur Tour golfers in regards to weather.
Sunshine and an absence of rain made for picturesque conditions at Stone Canyon Golf Club for the third tour event of the year.
Steve Groom, the seniors division champion Wednesday, took advantage of the conditions, steamrolling his way to a four-under, 68 on the day, narrowly missing a bogey-free round after playing 17 of the 18 holes Wednesday at par or better.
Groom rolled in birdies on No. 1, 6, 11, 13 and 15 before bogeying No. 18 for his four-under performance.
The closest anyone came to sniffing Groom’s performance was Ed Walsworth, who carded an even-par, 72 for a runner-up finish in the senior’s division.
Kurt Lorenzen rounded out the senior’s top 3 with his two-over, 74.
Matt Kelley snagged his second StateLine tournament victory of the year, posting a two-over, 74.
Austin Williams trailed Kelley by four strokes, while three golfers, Jason Cross, Carter Tumminia and T.j. Pennington each grabbed a share of third place with 79s.
Logan Truninger and Bob Bezek each captured the players and legends division titles, respectively, with two-over, 73s.
Finally, Nikki McCurdy, a collegiate golfer at Northwest Missouri State University, won the women’s division with her 10-over, 82.
