Gladstan’s Own Finishes as Medalist at State Am Qualifier

Payson native and longtime employee John Ward finished as medalist at the State Am Qualifier at Gladstan Golf Course. Ward finished at -3 (69) on a day that proved challenging for many unfamiliar with the course. Ward mentioned that he felt his round was rather routine but that familiarity was an advantage.

“I made birdie on the usual birdie holes and just tried to stay consistent. This course can be a challenge, especially on the back nine, if you’re not familiar with the course,” said Ward, “For example, on number 10 most people don’t know what line to take. I play here so often I was able to hit driver to within 100 yards and didn’t think twice about it.”

The cut came at +6 (78) with 22 players qualifying for the State Am in July at Soldier Hollow Golf Course.
