Locke, Henson conquer tough conditions in Shangri-La Invitational
Griffen Locke of Joplin battled blustery conditions and fast greens to win the Professional Division with a 1-over score of 145 after two rounds of the Shangri-La Invitational which concluded Sunday.
The event had a collegiate and scholastic division as well. Thomas Henson of Central Missouri prevailed among collegians, shooting rounds of 69-73 for a 2-under 144 total. Christian Yanovitch was the top finisher among those younger than college age with a score of 152 (79-73), good for 11th in the collegiate division.
With the disruption to schedules created by the pandemic, Shangri-La decided to host the event to give young professionals and amateurs mostly from Oklahoma, Missouri, southeast Kansas and Arkansas an additional competitive opportunity. See below for complete results.
