Anaconda's Caleb Stetzner has had his stellar game tested at many levels during his junior career. He was victorious at the Class A level as a junior and runner-up this season in Class B to close out his high school career.

Stetzner is an Old Works Amateur Champion, has competed on numerous MSGA teams, and is headed to MSU-Billings to play for the Yellow Jackets.Before beginning his collegiate career, Stetzner added another title by winning the Montana State Match Play Tournament.

The 18-year-old Stetzner defeated 35-year-old Drew Vanyo of Bozeman 3 and 2 in the championship match at Green Meadow Country Club in Helena. The tour-nament included several of the top amateurs in Mon-tana: two-time defending tournament champ and Uni-versity of Idaho standout Ryan Porch, Utah State's Eli Rogers, and Colorado State's Logan Iverson, to name a few, but it was the freshman-to-be that came away with the hardware.

Following stroke-play competition to qualify and seed, Stetzner garnered the No. 2 seed. Birdies on holes 7, 8, and 11, helped to knock off the fourth seeded Vanyo.

"I felt comfortable on the course on the first day, but once I saw the bracket I felt it would be very tough to win,” Stetzner said. “Considering the field, this is probably the biggest win I've had."

Ninth-seeded Jim Bob Coleman of Billings won the consolation championship, defeating Easton Enott of Great Falls 4 and 3.

Crippen & Medley Victors at 4th of July TournamentNick Dietzen, MSGA Communications Director

One of the most beloved tournaments in Montana reached it’s 80th birthday as the Earl Hunt Memorial 4th of July Tournament was played at Whitefish Lake Golf Club. Both the women’s and men’s championships winning margins were razor thin.

Missoula’s Sadie Crippen began the week with sterling rounds of 72-71 and finished with 78, but a 221 total was good enough – one shot clear of her sister Maggie Crippen and Hailey Hoagland of Butte at 222. Crippen, who concluded her col-legiate career at the University of Montana this year, was given a run by fellow Grizzlies - sister Maggie, Hoagland, and Teigan Avery. Avery of Kalispell was in contention at 223 finish-ing fourth and Haylee Folkvord of Bozeman (MSU-Bobcat) rounded out the top-five at 227.

Scottsdale, Arizona’s Andrew Medley channeled the heat from the Valley of the Sun closing with a birdie on hole 17 and a 40-foot eagle on 18, to capture the Earl Hunt Memorial finishing his three rounds at 213... one shot better than Mark Mance (Whitefish) and two clear of Rob Bergeson (Billings) and Ryggs Johnston (Libby) at 215. Medley improved one shot each round in Whitefish, 72-71-70, to pick up a second Hunt victory (winner in 2012).

Whitefish’s Carol Lilly won the inaugural men’s senior title in impressive fash-ion. Lilly went wire-to-wire with a 209 total (-5) and bested runner-up Keith Woznesensky of Columbia Falls by 10 shots (219).

Old Works AmateurSean Benson of Billings took home the Old Works Amateur Title by nearly double-digits, with rounds of 75-68, 143. The Montana Tech sophomore to-be had the only red numbers of the tournament, with his final round 68 (-4). Ross Bartell 75-77, 152, was runner-up, and Cory Donahue 82-73, 155, finished third.

Oilfield InvitationalBrady Kirkeby of Helena captured his first Oilfield Invitational Title in a playoff with Ron Ramsbacher of Missoula. Kirkeby had the low final round of 74 on a gusty day at Marias Valley Golf and Country Club in Shelby.

Kirkeby’s two-day total of 148 tied Ramsbacher and then promptly made par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to notch the win. James Russell (Shelby) finished third at 149, followed by Ross Bartell (Great Falls), and Sean Gilligan (Shelby) 150.

Johnston Third at 99th Western Junior ChampionshipNick Dietzen, MSGA Communications Director

Ryggs Johnston of Libby won his previous two starts at the Montana State Junior Tournaments, but this year, the young talent was unable to compete by virtue of invitation to the prestigious Western Junior Championship.

While Johnston would have liked to defend his title, he did not disappoint on the national scene, finishing with the low final round score of 66 (-6) to finish third overall.

The Western Junior, held at Red Run Golf Club in Royal Oak, Michigan (near Detroit), invited nearly 60 of the best junior players in the nation to test their skills among their high school peers.

Johnston, one of the youngest competitors at age 16, was consistent with rounds of 72-72-71 on the par-72 course, but saved his best for the final round with a scorching six-under-par 66, to move up the leaderboard and finish alone in third

place. He was one shot behind Trevor Brown of Austin, Texas, and three shots behind the champion, Sean Maruyama, of Los Angeles, California.

The Western Junior’s criteria for selection includes, but is not limited to, mis-cellaneous national rankings, major tournament finishes, high school/college performance, and professional recommendations. There are no qualifying tournaments for the Western Junior. All players will be entered by exemption or invitation by the Selection Committee.

The Western Junior has produced notable champions currently on the PGA Tour such as Jim Furyk, Rickie Fowler, and Hunter Mahan. Next year’s Western Junior will be held at Park Ridge Country Club (Park Ridge, Illinois).

TOURNAMENTS ... from previous pagechampion to his resume. McIver, a senior and decorated college and amateur golfer, was a key starter on the Ducks’ roster during his entire time in Eugene.

In a qualifier for the NCAA Tucson Regional, McIver lost in a playoff for the fifth and final spot on the active team to roommate Zach Foushee. Foushee earned a victory literally by showing up, as his match vs. Beau Hossler was decided by Hossler conceding due to injury twenty minutes before the match.

Eugene Country Club played host to the tournament and the Ducks were able to celebrate with a raucous crowd of supporters and teammates who contributed to a historic season for the University of Oregon.

During his time career, not only did McIver qualify for the 2014 U.S. Open, but he was twice a competitor (2013-14) at the U.S. Amateur and received Second Team All-Pac-12 honors in 2015, in addition to All-Region West Team accolades and academic Pac-12 honors in ’14 and ’15.

USGA AND THE R&A PUBLISH PAPER ON DRIVING DISTANCE IN PROFESSIONAL GOLF

The USGA and The R&A have published a research document that reports important facts on driving distance in professional golf. Supporting data comes from seven tours, including PGA Tour data beginning in 1968.

In 2002, the USGA and The R&A co-authored the Joint Statement of Principles, which confirmed their commitment to the fundamental notion that skill, not technology, should be the primary determinant of success in the game.

The Joint Statement acknowledged the benefits of equipment technology for golf, but noted that any further significant increases in hitting distances at the highest level were undesirable.

Since that time, the USGA and The R&A have continued to monitor equipment technology’s effect on the game, and con-sidered the effects of other factors, such as course setup, athleticism, and coaching.

When appropriate, new Rules have been introduced after discussions with equipment manufacturers and other stakehold-ers, in accordance with the Equipment Rulemaking Procedures produced in 2011.

“Hitting distance is, and has long been, a constant subject of healthy and spirited debate in golf,” said Mike Davis, execu-tive director/CEO of the USGA. “We want everyone in the game to have access to the facts, to better understand the decision-making process and the research we use to ensure that our game is both enjoyable and sustainable for future generations.”

“I believe it is important in terms of good governance and healthy for the sport to achieve greater transparency on key issues such as driving distance,” said Martin Slumbers, chief executive of The R&A. “We have decided to publish this re-port on distance data and will do so each year in the future. This is clearly a frequently debated topic in golf which elicits strong views. By publishing the data we can help to inform the debate and ensure reliable information is available.”

The report is available at www.usga.org and www.RandA.org.
