McClintock wins TRGA Trempealeau Mountain Open

TREMPEALEAU, WI - Tom McClintock turned into a philosopher on Sunday.
"It's the worst I ever played and won a tournament, if that's sounds right? But they always say your best win is your last win because you never know when that last one is going to be," said McClintock after winning the annual Three Rivers Golf Association VPP Group/Big Sky Cattle Trempealeau Mountain Open.
McClintock toured the par-71 Trempealeau Mountain Golf Club layout in 5-over 76, one stroke better than Matthew Peterson in the Men's Championship Flight. Both players shot 35 on the front nine. McClintock finished with 41 on the back nine. Peterson fell to 42.
"Well, I know I'm rusty. I was cruising along and then I lost my focus," McClintock said. "It's between my ears. I just have to get my head together. Hopefully, I will right the ship."
While it was McClintock's first TRGA victory of the season, Jeff Pigorsch collected his second triumph in First Flight with 75. Mark Werner captured Second Flight with 83, the same score Joe Hunter managed for the Third Flight title. Josh Luethe captured the Gold Flight with a low net 88.
Terry Ziegelbauer won her fourth Women's Flighted crown with a low net 81.

Dirks sizzles in Lawn Care Specialists Open victory

HOLMEN, WI - The only thing that was hotter than the weather on Saturday was Josh Dirks.
La Crosse's Dirks carved his way to a 6-under par 64 after a 2-over 72 on Friday for a two-day, 136 total and his second straight victory in the amateur portion of the Lawn Care Specialists Open at Drugan's Castle Mound Country Club in Holmen.
PGA professional Max Hosking of Madison claimed the Pro Division with 68-69-137 giving Dirks the overall title in Championship Flight. Dirks finished sixth in the 2017 La Crosse County Amateur Golf Championships and like first-round co-leader and two-time County Am champ Joe Weber, is considered one of the top contenders for this year's title on Aug. 4-5. After shooting 68 on Friday, Weber finished 10 strokes higher on Saturday for 146 and an 11th place tie.
Andrew Steinhofer and Holmen's Keegan Drugan, both pros, tied for third place with 139 while Jake Dunn and Connor Frawley shared fifth at 143.
Meanwhile, Bob Geary captured First Flight honors with 149, one stroke lower than Bruce Lindseth.
Tim Peterson's 164 took the Second Flight crown, while Bob Roers claimed the Third Flight title with 169.
