Final four fireworks expected

By BRIAN WIERIMA

brianw@dlnewspapers.com The two biggest stories of the 77th Pine to Palm Golf Tournament will collide Sunday morning in the semifinal round.

The week started with a oneday qualifying record set by Fargo’s Tom Hoge, who shot a nine-under par 62 Tuesday.

That story quickly succumbed to another historical happening after Oxbow 17-yearold Amy Anderson became the first-ever female to qualify for Championship match play.

After a week of playing in the headlines, the two meet in the semifinals Sunday morning.

“It’s incredible,” Hoge said of Anderson’s feat of winning four matches and playing to the semifinals. “I heard she is shooting four or five under par, so this should be fun — a lot of fun.”

Anderson knows of Hoge’s accomplishments throughout his career — including finishing third in the Division I men’s golf National Tournament to earn All-American honors and taking the Minnesota State Amateur championship.

Anderson — who also has a big win this summer in the form of the U.S. Junior Girls Amateur championship — also knows the semi’s is another entire mountain to scale from the one she conquered throughout Pine to Palm week.

“I will literally have to take it one shot at a time, playing nothing but fairways and greens and make all my putts,” Anderson said of her impending semifinal showdown with Hoge. “I am not intimidated, but I do respect him. I’ve followed him as a player and this will be one of my biggest challenges yet.

“But I learned at the U.S. Amateur that anyone is beatable.”

Anderson started creating a good buzz with her first two victories over Peter Krier and Wade Walters.

That buzz started picking up volume Saturday with a comefrom-behind win over 53-yearold Scott Linnerooth 1-up, then topping Justin Jenkins in the afternoon 2 and 1.

Under downpour conditions, Anderson was able to tread out a 2-up lead after the first two holes on a pair of pars.

That was extended to 3-up after Jenkins hit into the trees on hole 12.

A birdie on 14 by Jenkins cut the deficit down to 2-up, but Anderson delivered the decisive blow by making par.

She finished it up with a solid shot using a hybrid club on 17 near the hole to close the match out.

“It’s incredible... this should be fun.”

— Tom Hoge ▼

As each hole went by, the light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the final four was brightening for Anderson — and she noticed it.

“I was really wanting to make the semifinals and I usually don’t try and get ahead of myself, but I was thinking of it as the match was closing to an end,” Anderson said.

Hoge has been as consistent as any golfer throughout match play by rarely trailing and winning convincingly with a pair of 3 and 2 wins in the first two rounds.

He had to grind out a hardfought victory over Max Hoskings in the morning round Saturday, finally winning 1-up, then got back to his dominating ways with a 4 and 2 triumph over 1995 Pine to Palm champion Mike Halverson.

An eagle chip-in on six and a drive on seven which was pin high to left, erased a 1-down deficit, while a good wedge shot on nine put Hoge 1-up against Halverson in the quarterfinals.

After a very close start, Hoge was able to stay on track after that eagle on six and cruise for the win.

“It was close on the front nine and I knew I was going to have to play well to beat him,” Hoge said. “We were just throwing birdies at each other.”

But Hoge out-birdied Halverson by finishing with an eightunder par score by hole 16.

“If I can keep shooting eightunder, it’ll be hard to beat me,” Hoge added.

In the bottom bracket, a pair of University of Minnesota Golden Gophers will be pitted against each other.

Cameron White played through the monsoon with a 1-up win over New Mexico University’s Jon Sauer and halted Frazee 16-year-old Beau Hanson’s unprecedented journey through match play with a 7 and 6 win.

Gopher teammate Thomas Campbell — a native of New Zealand — completed the double

CHAMPIONSHIP from 2 U of M sweep Saturday with a 2 and 1 win over defending champion Ben Freeman and a 4 and 2 defeat of two-time Pine to Palm champion Rick Kuhn.

The duo were the only Gophers entered in the tournament and it didn’t go unnoticed that the two could meet up in match play in the semifinals.

“Yeah, we talked about it earlier in the week,” said White, who played to the semifinals two years ago after carding a medalist record 12-under par 130. “It will be a friendly match.

It’s good that we didn’t have to meet up earlier in the tournament, but it came in the semifinals.

“There will be one Gopher in the finals for sure.”

White birdied the first hole on Hanson which led to a bogey on the second — the only time the Gopher shot over par on a hole in the round.

White was five-under par by the 12th hole as he built a 6-up lead.

“I played well and he did hit some wayward shots, which hurt him,” White said. “I just played my game and controlled what I could control.”

Campbell defeated two former Pine to Palm champions by not necessarily having his best putting game intact.

“I hit the ball well when I was putting, but nothing was dropping,” Campbell said. “The weather was rough there for a bit in the quarterfinal match (against Kuhn) and I won the first couple of holes and got an edge on him.

“I didn’t get into much trouble at all most of the day.”

Campbell added both he and White know each other’s weaknesses and strengths, but there will be one facet of his game that will be on.

“I know I will be putting better (Sunday),” Campbell said. “But it’s going to be a fun match, something I will enjoy.”

The upper bracket in semifinal play will tee off at 7:50 a.m. while the lower bracket will follow at 8 a.m.

The championship match will follow, starting at 2:45 p.m.

One runner-up will be champ

Mid-Am to crown 1st champ

By BRIAN WIERIMA

Fronk and Olafson to meet in title match

brianw@dlnewspapers.com Each of Detroit Lakes’ William Blake and T.L. Solien of Madison, Wisc., know what it feels like being just one step away from a Pine to Palm Senior’s championship.

Both golfers have played in Senior’s championship matches — Blake in 1999 and Solien in 2007 — and each finished as runners-up in those particular years.

But by the time Sunday ends, one will know what it feels like to be a Senior champion.

The duo will face each other in the title match starting at 12:40 p.m. after surviving semifinal play Saturday.

Blake, who won medalist laurels with a one-over par 72, downed Perry Clark of Detroit Lakes 1-up after playing through the monsoons of the Detroit Country Club.

As has been the case all week, Blake’s putter came in handy in some tight moments.

He made birdie on 13 and 16, with both being near the eight-foot mark.

In the end, it was the putter which doomed Clark, who three-putted on 18, while Blake two-putted to take the match.

“My putting was good again today,” Blake said. “When I have been standing over my ball to putt, I’ve been confident.

I didn’t have any three putts today.”

Solien was able to build a 4-up lead after five holes on Detroit Lakes’ Bill Hawkins, which was ideal for the University of Wisconsin artist/professor, who saw his counterpart chisel away at

William Blake tees off on the par five fifth hole in a steady rain shower Saturday afternoon. the deficit.

Hawkins started out sluggish, losing to birdie on one, then falling to pars on holes two through four.

But he took eight and nine with pars, to chip the lead down to two holes at the turn.

A par by Hawkins on 11 knocked Solien’s advantage to 1-up.

But a nice sand wedge shot by Solien on 12 to set up a birdie stopped the bleeding as a pair of pars on 13 and 14 gave him back a 3-up edge.

A birdie on 15 salted away the win.

“All I wanted to do was make par and I got the big birdie on 12,” Solien said.

“It was nice having that early 4-up lead, because I could afford to have one of those mid-round collapses.”

With the championship match between the two former runners-up, each wished for better weather, a golden putter and a different perspective when they play in the title match.

“When I was in the championship match 10 years ago, I put a lot of pressure on myself and that hurt me,” Blake said. “I just need to go out and play as well as I can and keep telling myself don’t give up and keep on trying.”

For Solien, a calmer demeanor may mean the difference of claiming his first Senior’s championship.

“The year before in the championship match, my nerves got the best of me,” Solien added. “I’m just hoping to go out and hit my fairways and greens and chip it close.”

The Pine to Palm Mid-Am experiment can be deemed a success and the two benefactors who will put the exclamation points on the inaugural year will be Fargo’s Jay Olafson and Jamestown’s Kent Fronk.

The Mid-Am duo played their way to the first championship in the division after playing through a wet and soggy semifinal round Saturday.

For Olafson — who beat medalist Otis Hesteness 2-up — the rain was actually a blessing, as he took a 3-up lead in the torrential downpour by the turn.

“I was just playing straight ahead when it was down pouring,” Olafson said. “The greens were putting fair, but neither one of us really had any big mistakes.

“I was hitting my greens in regulation, I just couldn’t make my putts.”

Fronk and Tom Solien were neckand-neck all the way through the round up to hole 17.

There wasn’t a larger lead than 1-up for neither golfer, but on hole 16, Solien gave Fronk a birdie putt after he hit behind a tree and was shooting for bogey.

On 17, Fronk clamped down and took advantage of a nice drive and approach to make birdie to win the hole and match 2-up.

“It was close all the way through and we were even for the most part of the round,” Fronk said. “It does feel good to be in the finals, because it’s tough

McConn earns 2009 Rutledge Award

By BRIAN WIERIMA brianw@dlnewspapers.com

Dick McConn has played some of the best and most famous courses in the world, but there is only one he keeps coming back to — the Detroit Country Club.

The same can be said about McConn’s experiences with some of the top-rated amateur golf tournaments in the world — but the one he continuously returns to is the Pine to Palm Tournament.

It is for those reasons McConn was named as the 2009 Rutledge Award winner after 40 years of dedication to the Pine to Palm Golf Tournament.

McConn’s career — who was an officer in the Air Force and currently the CEO of several aviation companies in Washington D.C., Canada, Morocco and Corpus Christi, Texas — has allowed him to play and experience the top golf courses and tournaments in the world.

But it’s the attraction of what the Pine to Palm Tournament offers which has McConn become a usual for the last

MARK LARSON/SPOTLIGHT

Dick & Mili McConn.

40 years.

“I’ve been to lots of tournaments throughout the world and have been the chairman of some of them, but none of them can beat the Pine to Palm,” McConn said. “It’s just a great, little place to go and the tournament is good just because of the way it’s run.

“There’s some humility to it and it has a down home feel. It’s also just an honor to be given the Rutledge Award.”

McConn’s parents owned a cabin on Lake Melissa since the 1950’s and that’s when he was introduced to the tournament.

As a 16-year-old, he played in his first Pine to Palm and he shot a 77-77 for a 12-over par 154, missing the cut by 10 strokes.

“That was a bit humbling,” McConn chuckled.

With his family living in the lakes area for all those years, McConn learned to love the DCC and the tournament it ran in early August.

“For the people who grew up here and moved away, the tournament is a rallying point for them,” McConn said.

After joining the Air Force Academy and serving in Vietnam, as well as traveling through the service and his job, McConn has missed nine years of the Pine to Palm off and on.

He has forged many friendships and relationships through the years he has competed and attended the tournament, including Jack Rule, who won the tournament three years in a row from 1958 through 1960.

Still close friends with Rule, McConn said the golfer from Waterloo, Iowa, was one of the best golfers to play in the Pine to Palm.

“Historically speaking, Jack was one of the greatest players to play in the Pine to Palm,” McConn added. “He won it three years in a row and lost his fourth one in 1961 as runner-up (to Dayton Olson 3 and 1).”

McConn had some deep runs into Championship match play, the longest in 1981 when he played to the semifinals, before losing to eventual champion Mark Norman on the last hole.

MARK LARSON/SPOTLIGHT

Larry Olin, John Bartley and Rick Johnson have played in 25 Pine to Palm Tournaments. They received their silver at the Rutledge banquet Thursday night.

The uniqueness of the DCC golf course has also been an attraction to McConn.

“Even though the course is only 6,100 yards long, everybody still wants to play it,” McConn said. “It offers a challenge and golf is about confronting your fears.

Anybody can play this course, too, due to the fact that it’s short and you can attack it.

“But you need to hit it straight.”

And he has shared his love of the tournament and the area with many people, including his wife Mili, who grew up in Colorado.

The McConn pair rebuilt a new cabin on his parent’s Melissa site and now Mili lives in it during the summer, while Dick travels for work.

“Mili loves it here, there just isn’t anything more anchored than living here,” McConn included.

He has also introduced the area to some influential friends.

This past July 4, he invited a fourstar general, former Secretary of the Air Force Mike Wynne and a couple of CEO’s of multi-billion dollar companies down to his place on Lake Melissa.

“These guys have traveled to many exotic places in the world, but all of them just loved it here,” McConn. “There’s an attraction here.”

The Pine to Palm Tournament carries that attitude, sort of a microcosm of small town America.

“There’s a mentality that’s not pretentious or sanctimonious here,” McConn said.

After a successful life, McConn is now ready to give back, especially to the sport of golf.

“There are three basic elements to life,” he said. “Earn, learn and then return. I’m at the return stage of my life. I want to return what golf has given me.”

In the 9 & under division Ron and Adam Van Raden shot a smooth even par round of 27 to take top honors. In the 10 & over division, the only under

par round in the field came from Ted and Isaac Cihak with two birdies and one bogey for a 26.

Adam Van Raden took home all the goods winning with his dad and also winning two proximities!

Once again, it was nice to see parents playing competition with their kids.
