State’s top amateurs in (mostly losing) battle with Cherokee Hills

The team of Jamie Voegeli and Tyler Hunt is tied at 5-under-par with the team of Lance Maxwell and Chase Lindsey entering the final round of the Oklahoma Golf Association Four-Ball Championship at Cherokee Hills Golf Club in Catoosa.

In the Senior Division, Shawn Barker and Terry Hughes shot 4-under 66 and are tied with Cory Smith and Lewis Stephenson,

Only four teams in the senior division and eight in the championship division bested par on one of state’s most difficult courses, which is likely to be playing at least as tough today with a stiff north wind for the final round.

For comparison’s sake, across town at another difficult course in Forest Ridge, the 2024 championship was decided by a final-round 61 by the team of Austin Quentin and Harley Abrams to finish 17-under par. The senior division was won at 14-under.
