Wolf Creek Golf Club — The 2014 KC Masters began with incredible October weather this morning. Temperatures started in the mid 60s and hovered around 70 degrees for most of the day. The weather was a stark contrast to the 2013 KC Masters where the wind and chilly temperatures created extremely difficult playing conditions.
Four players took advantage through the first nine holes and posted front nine, under par rounds. The back nine of Wolf Creek would claim several victims and only three players were able to complete under par rounds.
University of South Florida standout, Joseph Winslow, was one of only a few players to card a back nine better than his front. With four birdies and a blemish free back nine, Winslow posted 36 – 34 to finish at two under 70.
Former KC Amateur champion, Steve Groom, would match Winslow’s total with a par of 35s to post 70. Groom’s only misstep was a bogey on the difficult 444 yard eighteenth.
Completing tomorrow’s final pairing will be Craig Broswick. Broswick led all competitors after nine holes firing a blistering three under 33 on the opening nine. He followed the opening nine with a back nine 70. His only dropped shot came at the difficult down hill par 3 eleventh.
Twenty-seven competitors will return to Wolf Creek tomorrow in the final regional championship of the season. Up for grabs are the year’s final player of the year points and positioning for the 2015 Watson Challenge.
