Utah Grabs One Point Shootout Lead Going Into Individual Matches

Utah holds a slim one-point lead at intermission of the Utah-Arizona Shootout being played at Torreon Golf Club in Arizona. Arizona won the morning Foursomes by one point, but Utah won the afternoon Four Ball segment by two points, 10-8, and thus leads, 18 1/2 to 17 1/2, going into Tuesday’s Individual matches.
It could all come down to the final individual match that pits Utah’s Dan Horner against Arizona’s Adam Walicki.
Utah holds a 12-10-1 lead over Arizona in the 24-year old competition and has won or tied the last four competitions. Arizona is desperately wanting to end that Utah victory skein.
Utah’s women’s duo of Kelsey Chugg and Sadie Palmer won all three points in the four-ball segment and halved the Foursomes, but Utah’s senior duo, Bill Probst and Pat Murphy, trail Arizona’s seniors by two points.
Arizona’s Grant Cesarak and Adam Walicki won all three points against Utah’s Jon Wright and Christian Jensen in the Four-Ball, but Utah’s David Jennings and Dan Horner offset that by winning three points in the Foursomes.
