Utah State Amateur - Final 4!!

Sorry its been such a long time since we have posted anything. Its been a crazy summer!! Just this last weekend Christian played in the Utah State Amateur golf tournament. He did incredibly well! 296 players qualified to play in the tournament. Only 32 made it past the first two days into the match play portion of the tournament. (In match play you go head to head against another player and try to beat him. If you shoot better on a hole you win that hole.) He creamed the first player he came up against 6 and 4. Thats really good. The next player was one of his SUU buddies. He beat him 1 Up at the 18th hole. This made him top 8. The next day he played an old dude in the morning that was a real jerk. He beat him 3 and 2 and we were all pretty happy about that! So that made him final 4. The guy he came up against in this round turned out to be the champion of the tournament. It was a long hard fought day. They were tied for most of the 18 holes. One hole they even both eagled to tie the hole. That never happens! It just goes to show how good these two really are. After 18 holes they were still tied. They went to a play off hole. Christian made par and the other guy made a birdie to end it. It was sad to see him lose after such a hard fought round but we are all so proud of him for getting so far!! He is top four in the state and Im sure he would have won the whole thing had he beat this guy!! Good job Christian! I am so proud!

One last thing...this barn was right off the golf course and I really thought it was straight out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It looked like some guy was gonna come ripping through the door with a chainsaw!!
