2023 tournament features another loaded field

By Sam Stuve Alexandria Echo Press

The 102nd Resorters

Tournament in Alexandria has continued to garner more interest and participation. The tournament is based out of the Alexandria GOlf Club but over the last couple of years, the tournament has had to have additional flights in town at Geneva Golf Club.

And this year, the Men’s Championship division begins at 7 a.m. on Sunday, July 30, 2023, with the first of two qualifying rounds (the second round is Tuesday morning at AGC).

This year’s tournament features over 500 participants.

“It’s an amazing thing,” Alexandria Golf Club head pro Kyle Lee said. “What’s happened is we went from basically 330 players to now 520 this year by moving part of the men’s championship over to Geneva for 36-hole qualifying. With one day there and one day here, we’re able to grow the field or at least make room for 80 more players in this year’s event, where everybody’s having the opportunity to qualify at Alexandria Golf Club. That is kind of the goal; everybody’s going to be able to touch ground and make their mark in qualifying at the Alexandria Golf Club.”

The tournament kicks off with the Pro-Am at 2 p.m. (shotgun start) on Saturday, July 29, 2023, at AGC.

This year’s tournament begins at 7 a.m. on Sunday,

July 30, 2023, with the Men’s Regular qualifying at AGC and the first round of the Men’s Championship at Geneva Golf Club.

Qualifying ends on Tuesday morning and the match-play portion of the tournament begins Tuesday

and runs through Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023.

There is also going to be a Calcutta at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023, along with a putting and long drive contest on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. and live music

throughout the week.

“We’re really excited to kind of open up our putting contests this year with the partnership with Swannies Golf,” Lee said. “ They’re one of our merchandisers for the event, and they are taking over the putting

contest this year. And then, of course, Grass Clippings is back this year for the long drive contest. That night of the putting and driving contest should be a very fun night.”

ALEXANDRIA — Zak

Jones watched as a 2-up lead on the back nine disappeared on Saturday during the Men’s Championship Division finals, and calmly brushed it aside to bring home the title over the final three holes.

Jones, a Texas native who plays at the University of Texas Arlington, had already overcome the most stressful round of his tournament during the quarterfinals a day earlier. He trailed Gunnar Broin by two with four to go a day earlier. Jones got birdie on 15 only to have Broin match it.

Both parred 16. Jones then chipped in for birdie on 17, went on to birdie 18 to force a playoff and then won it with par on the third extra playoff hole.

“It was crazy. It was just so fun,” Jones said. “I was long left on 17. I had to chip in and hope he missed. I chipped in from long left of the green, probably a 3%

Boraas adds to her impressive resume

Senior at AAHS beats field full of college golfers

By Eric Morken Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — Alexandria’s Hannah Boraas has played in and won plenty of big golf tournaments over the course of her young career already, and what she accomplished this past Saturday was right up there as one of the most memorable tournaments she has been a part of.

shot. We were talking about it (Friday) night and I was like, ‘What are the odds I make that again?’ They said three in 100. I said, ‘If that.’ It was just phenomenal. Then I hit it to eight feet (on 18) and we go to three extra holes. This week was just so fun.”

Jones said he has never felt nerves during a golf round like he felt down the stretch of that win over Broin. He had two more close matches on Saturday, but he said he felt like he ran out of nerves in the quarterfinals. Saturday was simply fun.

Jones got through a 1-up win over Alexandria’s Ryan Conn in the semifinals that morning. He birdied No. 18 to advance to the finals after Conn had taken holes 12 and 14 to tie the match.

Nick Jarrett, 33, from Rochester was waiting for Jones in the finals. Jones was 2-up through 11 holes after taking 10 and 11 with birdies.

Jarrett came right back. He birdied the par-three 13th and then went birdie, par on Nos. 14 and 15 to take his first lead since he won hole three on the front with a par.

The soon-to-be senior in high school has been a part of two big-school state titles in Minnesota during the spring season at the Class AAA level with the Cardinals. She recently finished fifth at the Minnesota Golf Association Women’s Amateur Championship.

Boraas already had a Junior 13-15 Division title from 2020 at the weeklong match-play Resorters Tournament played on her home course at the Alexandria Golf Club. That came against a field of almost all boys in her age group.

Now Boraas can add a Women’s Division championship from the Resorters against a field of almost all collegiate golfers.

“This is for sure my favorite tournament of the year,” Boraas said after winning a 1-up match against Emma Carpenter in the finals on Saturday. “It’s just such a good feeling to be out here on the course. In terms of the (women’s) field, this was probably one of my bigger tournaments. It’s almost all collegiate players, and getting to learn from them and seeing how they handle themselves on the course, this is definitely one of my top tournaments, for sure.”

Carpenter was the top seed in the Women’s Division at the 101st playing of the Resorters last week. She qualified with a 3-under par 70 in her first time playing at AGC. Boraas shot a 75

in qualifying to earn the sixth seed.

Boraas jumped into match play and won 2-1 over Avery O’Donnell and MacKenzie Olsen in her first two rounds. She won a 3-2 match over Caroline Monty, a recently-graduated senior from Stillwater, during Saturday morning’s semifinals.

That sent her to the championship against Carpenter, who will be a senior this year for the Gophers golf team at the University of Minnesota. Boraas was up to the challenge, finishing at 1-over par 74, and winning three holes on the back nine — 10 with birdie and 11 and 15 with pars — to secure the 1-up win for the title.

Boraas three-putted the par-three 17th as Carpenter forced an 18th hole with a par to get to within one. Boraas calmly went to 18 and parred the hole, forcing Carpenter to make birdie. She could not quite do it as Boraas celebrated another big win.

“She hits the ball

insanely far, so I knew that was kind of a disadvantage for me,” Boraas said. “The key for me was hitting it straight off the tee, which really helped. I made quite a few putts that really mattered today.”

Boraas started strong with a par win on the first hole in the finals. Carpenter bounced back with a par win on No. 2, but another par win at 5 for Boraas put her back to 1-up. She never trailed again after that.

Boraas showed plenty of resolve on the final hole after opening the door for Carpenter on 17.

“That putt (on 17) really stung because I knew I could have put it away then,” Boraas said. “Going into that hole 18 tee shot, I knew I needed to just hit it like I normally do with good accuracy. My nerves were definitely there, but one shot at a time.”

Boraas came into the Resorters confident after the way she played at the MGA championship from July 27-29. She shot her best of three rounds in

that event on the final day when she carded a 71 after rounds of 76 and 77.

“It taught me you’re never out of it,” Boraas said. “Going off of those first two rounds, I knew I was in kind of a tough spot. I grinded it out, and it mentally got me ready for Resorters. It was a good last round.”

That MGA amateur championship came against many college-level golfers as well. Boraas has not committed to a college program herself yet, but with every tournament, she continues to prove that the time for her to play at that level is not too far away.

“I’m for sure narrowing it down,” Boraas said of her college decision. “I hope to know by this fall and be able to sign by the signing date in November, but I’m not decided yet.”

Awards Ceremony after Play Concludes

Consistent approach carries Johnson to fifth straight title

By Eric Morken

Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — Troy

Johnson of Maple Grove has gotten to the point at the Resorters Tournament in Alexandria where everyone knows him as the guy to beat each year in the Men’s Executive Division.

Four straight championships will do that. But one key reason Johnson has now won a fifth straight title in this division at the weeklong match-play event is because he does not concern himself with expectations or even winning in the midst of his round.

“I really didn’t think too much about that. I was just really focused on my game,” Johnson said. “I didn’t feel like I was swinging all that great this week, but just tried to be patient and get through the round.”

Consistent winners in golf will often talk about each swing being its own entity that they put their full focus on. Johnson does that as well as anyone at the Resorters.

He qualified for this year’s championship flight as the sixth seed after shooting a 1-over par 73. Johnson then rolled through his first three rounds of match play, winning 5-4, 4-3 and 8-7.

On Saturday morning, he beat Andrew Olson in a 4-3 match in the semifinals.

That sent him to a match against Owatonna’s Chad Hacker on Saturday afternoon. Hacker, the fourth seed, pushed Johnson as much as he was pushed all

week, but Johnson used a stretch of wins at hole 6 with birdie and holes 7, 9 and 11 with pars to secure the 2-1 win.

“I think it’s more a mentality. I think I have a pretty patient game, and I just try to play it hole by hole,” Johnson said of what helps him stay so consistent at the Resorters. “I don’t get ahead of myself, worry too much about the score. I just try to hit one shot at a time and take it from there.”

Hacker got the match to within two by winning hole 15 with a par. Both parred No. 16, meaning Hacker needed 17 and 18 to force a playoff.

Johnson stepped to the tee box on the parthree 17th and hit it to

within 10 feet of the cup. That all but wrapped things up as both players parred to end the match.

“I wasn’t quite sure where he was at, but I knew if I could just get one on the green and par the hole that we would probably get the job done,” Johnson said.

Johnson will be 51 years old in September and the competition golf brings him is what keeps him so active in the game. He used an off day at the Resorters between qualifying and match play on Aug. 2 to play in a qualifier in Prior Lake for the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.

Johnson shot a 1-under par at The Wilds Golf Club that day. He

finished as the second alternate for the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship, falling just shy of qualifying outright after Alexandria native Bryce Hanstad and two others tied for first with rounds of 69.

“For this tournament, that’s really what keeps me going,” Johnson said of the competition at the Resorters. “When I’m not swinging my best, I think it’s the competition that gets me through those rounds. Some guys might get a little bit shaken on hitting a few bad shots, but I don’t really let it bother me too much. Just try to keep going to the next hole.”

family to keep loving golf.”

Johnson hugged Aidan on the 17th green after winning his fifth title when a fan from the gallery shouted out that it’s time for him to jump to the Men’s Championship Division. That field is filled with college-aged players, and it sounds like a challenge he might be up for next summer.

“I’m definitely thinking about it,” Johnson said with a smile. “We’ll see how much weight I gain over the winter.”

Special moment at 10 helps O’Donnell to Women’s Execs title

By Sam Stuve Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — With the match tied after the front nine, Amanda O’Donnell of Elk River headed to the 10th tee box and got ready for her tee shot.

A key moment on the 10th propelled O’Donnell to an eventual 4-3 win over Alexandria native Jodi (Krafka) Sullivan of St. Petersburg, Florida, in the Women’s Executive Division Championship at the 101st Resorters Tournament at the Alexandria Golf Club.

This tournament win is O’Donnell’s second Resorters title. She won the Women’s Division championship in 2001.

At the No. 10 tee box on Saturday, O’Donnell said she saw a monarch butterfly that reminded her of the butterfly she saw at her grandma’s funeral in 2002. Her grandparents got her into this tournament

From Page 3

“Coming down 16, I had such a good number downwind,” Jones said. “Let’s just put it to seven feet. He almost made his putt, which was crazy enough. It just felt so good to make it, and that was a huge momentum shift for me.”

Jones’ great approach shot on the par-four 16th set up a birdie win to even the match.

Both players had short par putts on the parthree 17th. Jarrett’s putt did not break the little bit he thought it would, rolling just off the right lip of the cup. Jones sank his par for the 1-up lead.

On 18, Jones aggressively stepped up with his driver and put the ball just right of the green. He chipped it to about five feet for what was another great birdie look.

Jarrett mis-hit his approach shot from the fairway and went over the green. He needed to chip in for birdie to have a chance, something he was not able to do. Jarrett conceded the birdie to Jones as the two shook

early on.

“At my grandma’s funeral, I saw a monarch butterfly and on the 10 tee, I saw a monarch butterfly flying around me and it just refocused me,” O’Donnell said. “So it made me really just focus back on why I’m here. It made me remind myself of why we come here every year as a family tradition and what we build. It gave me that extra drive.”

O’Donnell parred the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th holes to beat Sullivan on Saturday. Sullivan is

hands in front of a large gallery that had grown throughout the match.

“Both (Ryan and Nick) are just phenomenal mid-amatuer golfers,” Jones said. “They don’t make mistakes. They don’t make bogeys, so you have to make birdies and hope they miss their birdie putts.”

Jarrett was more disappointed with his birdie putt on hole 17 than he was with the missed par putt. His drive on the par three went a little long

his run of three straight wins at 13, 14 and 15.

“I’m fully prepared to go into 18 all square and have to make birdie,” Jones said of watching Jarrett putt for par on 17. “That’s exactly what I had to do (in the semifinals)...I don’t think if you give him that putt 10 more times that he misses it.”

This was Jones’ second time playing the Resorters Tournament after qualifying for the championship flight in 2021

but falling in the first round of match play.

Jones got invited to the Resorters through his roommate, Andrew Lindberg. Andrew’s dad, Mark, is from Alexandria and has won multiple Resorters titles himself.

Mark added his second straight championship in the Senior Division at this year’s tournament.

Jones will be a graduate student at the University of Texas Arlington this fall. He graduated with a degree in marketing management this past December, so it is a bit unknown if he will still have his amateur status during next year’s Resorters or if he will make a run at turning pro.

“What I keep telling myself and my parents is we’ll see how it goes in the fall with golf at school,” Jones said.

“This (Resorters win) is a good start for me. We go back pretty soon, but we’ll see. If I play well in the fall, I’ll probably pursue it a little bit. If not, I’ll probably more pursue a job and play more amateur golf. We’ll see how I’m hitting the ball when I graduate.”

Lindberg adds to his Resorters trophy case

By Al Edenloff

Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — A couple of Alexandria natives locked up in a championship match at the Resorters on Saturday afternoon as Mark Lindberg continued to play at a high level to add to his trophy collection from this tournament.

Lindberg successfully defended his title in the Senior Division by edging Mike Herzog, 4-3 in the final.

As had been the case all week, Lindberg played near flawless golf, denying Herzog from getting any par or bogey wins. Herzog’s only win of the afternoon was a birdie on No. 10.

Lindberg broke out with a par win on No. 3 and added three more wins on the front –birdies on Nos. 7 and 8 and a par win on No. 9 that put him 4-up at the turn.

After Herzog gained ground with that birdie on No. 10, Lindberg matched Herzog’s pars

on Nos. 11 and 12. Both golfers had some trouble on par-3 No. 13 and had to settle for bogeys.

Lindberg was able to make birdie on the 14th hole to go 4-up and his par on the 15th equaled Herzog’s and ended the match.

Lindberg said that No. 7 was a turning point in

O’DONNELL

From Page 6

“It was nerve-wracking,” O’Donnell said. “I was up against a tough opponent. We both said at the beginning of the round, ‘Let’s just go

have some fun and let’s go play our own game and what happens, happens.’”

O’Donnell shot a 75 in the qualifying round and locked up match-play victories after the final putt on the 16th hole or earlier in every round.

“This week, chipping was a big thing for me,” O’Donnell said. “My driver is always on, so that’s always a big help. With putting, my goal was to never be putting above the hole and I

1987 Jon Christian, Albert Lea Trev Anderson, Tempe, AZ, 5 and 4

accomplished that most of the days.”

O’Donnell was dominant on the back nine for the whole tournament in the match play bracket. She won a total of 11 holes on the back nine and only lost one, the par 5 12th to No. 8 Lisa Sobba in the quarterfinals.

O’Donnell began her tournament with a 9-7 victory over the No. 16 seed Lorrie Sienko. O’Donnell then took down Sobba 4-2 with wins on five of the first

nine holes. In the semifinals, she beat 2021 runner-up Molly Baker, 7-6.

Sullivan earned convincing victories to get to the finals as well. She defeated the No. 15 seed Karen Studer, 6-5, in the first match-play round. This was followed by a 4-3 win over the No. 10 seed Heather Steege. Sullivan defeated the No. 6 seed Caitlin Cummings, 9-8, in Friday’s semifinals.

O’Donnell is the third different golfer to win

the Women’s Executive division in the last seven tournaments. Betsy Aldrich of Minneapolis has won five, with Sullivan and O’Donnell having won the other two. Aldrich played in the U.S. Senior Amateur in Alaska during this year’s Resorters.

2022 Zak Jones, Spring, Texas Nick Jarrett, Rochester, 2-up Sullivan and O’Donnell traded blows on the front nine with Sullivan winning the 1st and 9th holes but O’Donnell winning the 4th and 8th.

“I love the galleries and I love the crowd,” O’Donnell said of the Resorters. “I love seeing people walking around and watching. I played better under pres-

sure and with galleries. I don’t care how many carts are driving while I’m on my backswing. It’s just fun to see all the kids out here and all the families out here just having a good time. We introduced some really close friends [to the tournament] two years ago and they all come up now with their whole family.”

Esterline shoots 5-under in Junior 13-15 Resorters win

Week included hole-in-one during the semifinals

By Sam Stuve Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA —

Coming into Saturday’s Junior 13-15 division finals, top-seeded Lunden Esterline had already won one junior title at the Resorters, the Junior 10-12 title which he won in 2020.

But he was hungry for more, and with five birdies and no bogeys in his round, he secured the Junior 13-15 title over Alexandria’s Carver Larson, the No. 2 seed in the bracket, with a 5-4 victory.

“I just think I struck the ball really well,” Esterline said about his final round. “My irons were great and I made a lot of putts.”

Esterline had his short game going early with a chip-in birdie on the par 4 1st hole.

“It was honestly a pretty lucky birdie,” Esterline said. “If that ball didn’t go in, it probably would’ve rolled off the green.”

Larson responded with a birdie of his own on the par 4 2nd hole to tie the match.

On the par 4 5th hole, Esterline sank a long birdie putt to go 1-up and he never looked back. Esterline won holes 9 and 10 with birdies and holes 11 and 15 with pars.

On the back nine, Esterline and Larson birdied the par 5 14th hole and Larson birdied the par 5 12th hole to secure his second of two hole wins.

Esterline, who is from Andover, Kansas but spends the summer in the Alexandria area, said that making key putts helped him win this division.

one of my strengths,” he said. “I think that’s a big part of my game that comes in at this course. I think that is what it comes down to, who makes putts.”

Larson had a strong final round, as he was sitting at even par through 15 holes played, but the deficit was too much to overcome.

Esterline’s five-birdie round comes off of a 2-1 win over No. 4 seed Carson Boe, who was the runner-up in the 2021 and 2020 Resorters tournaments, in the semifinals on Friday.

Esterline hit a shot of a lifetime in that round as he scored a hole-in-one

on the par 3 7th hole, otherwise known as the “Minnesota Hole.”

“Oh goodness that was unreal,” Esterline said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Esterline said that was his first hole-in-one at Alexandria Golf Club and the second that he’s made in his life. That ace proved to be pivotal for him as it put him 3-up. Boe came back a

bit with wins on holes 9, 10 and 11, but Esterline iced the match with wins on holes 14 and 17.

That semifinal round was the longest match that he played in the tournament. He also birdied the 7th hole in his 7-5 victory over No. 16 Landon Stennes in his opening match.

Larson’s path to the finals was just as decisive as Esterline’s, if

not more. The closest of Larson’s first three matches was his quarterfinal match against the No. 7 seed, Charlie Hanson of Morris, which was a 3-1 win for Larson. Larson had five birdies in his win over Hanson.

Larson is heading into his sophomore year at Alexandria Area High School and is coming off of a top 35 finish at the MSHSL Class AAA State Tournament, where Alexandria placed third as a team.

In the semifinals, Larson defeated the 2021 Junior 10-12 Division champion, Will Hacker, 4-2.

Larson was the second seed in this year’s field, and Esterline earned the top seed in the bracket by shooting even par in the qualifying round.

Esterline said that the biggest challenge with his own game was his iron play but that he was able to manage his iron shots well enough. He took advantage of some good course conditions at AGC to win his way through the week.

“It’s always in such great shape and the greens are all really nice,” he said.

Sam Stuve / Alexandria Echo Press Lunden Esterline pumps his fist after making a long birdie putt in his championship on the No. 5 hole in the Junior 13-15 finals match on Aug. 6, 2022. Esterline birdied five times in his championship win at Alexandria Golf Club.

Minnewaska senior wins Men’s Regular title

By Eric Morken Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — Riley

Larson got a nice confidence boost at the 2022 Resorters Tournament as he gets ready to head into his senior year at Minnewaska Area High School.

Larson, 17-years-old from Glenwood, finished off a big week by winning the Men’s Regular Division first flight in a 19-hole finals match against eighth-seeded Cory Pelzel.

Larson rallied down the stretch, shooting 2-under over the final five holes of regulation after his bogey on 13 allowed Pelzel to move to 2-up with a par win. Larson took hole 15 with a par and then birdied the 18th to force a playoff that he won on the first hole.

“It’s an honor,” Larson said of winning his first Resorters championship. “I’ve been playing since I was 13. I didn’t do too well my first couple years, and I just really wanted to come out this year guns blazing, and that’s what I did. I stuck to my goal and that’s what I accomplished.”

Larson qualified with a 2-over par 74. He won a 2-1 match over 10th-seeded Peter Dierks to open match play

RESORTERS QUALIFYING

Sam Stuve / Alexandria Echo Pres Riley Larson putts on the No. 1 green on Aug. 5, 2022, during his semifinals match in the Men's Regular Division at the Resorters Tournament at the Alexandria Golf Club. Larson won that match 6-5 and went on to take the championship match in 19 holes against Cory Pelzel.

before adding a 4-3 win over Blake Stedronsky and a 6-5 win over Logan DuBe in the semifinals. Both Larson and Pelzel shot even-par 72 through 18 in the finals.

“My key was off the tee,” Larson said. “I hit 16 fairways (Friday), which was a major key to my 6-5 win. Putting was on point. I had 26 putts three times this week, which helped me out.”

Larson felt good about where his game was at

Golden gets his title after a one-year wait in Grand Masters

By Al Edenloff Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA —

During the 2021 Grand Masters final at the Resorters, Mike Golden of Alexandria had a heartbreaking loss on the 18th green when he missed a birdie putt while his opponent, Jerry Gruidl, made his putt to take the championship.

The 2022 tournament was Golden’s time to shine.

Trailing the entire match except after the first hole against Dave Harris of Alexandria, Golden tied the match on No. 15 with a par, grabbed his first lead with a birdie on No. 16 and then won No. 17 when he made a bogey putt under pressure.

“It’s my first Resorters title,” said Golden, brushing back tears after the match. “And it meant a lot considering what happened last year.”

Both golfers made par on the first hole. Harris did it by getting up and down after landing in the bunker. Harris then took No. 2 when Golden ended up in a big puddle in the middle of the left bunker and had to settle for bogey.

Harris parred the next two holes to go 3-up. They halved Nos. 5, 6 and 7 before Harris struck for another par win on No. 8

to go 4-up. Golden won his first hole of the day with a par on No. 9 but trailed by three at the turn.

Harris had trouble on the back nine when his usual solid putting game faltered, leading to seven bogeys – Nos. 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.

“That’s not like Dave,” Golden said. “But that’s golf….I started hitting it better on the back nine. I was more accurate and was making better contact.”

“I played really well on the first eight holes,” Harris said. “But I missed short putts on 9 and 10 and it kind of snowballed from there…. Mike’s a good player and he’ll take advantage of mistakes.”

Harris and Golden are old friends. They’re both from Montevideo. Gold-

Although Harris said he would have liked to have added a fourth Resoters title to his trophy case, he’s glad that he was able to get so far in the tournament, which included a big comeback against Jerry Gruidl in the semifinals, and felt good for Golden.

Golden, the division’s medalist, has been golfing in the tournament for more than 35 years. Will he be back next year to defend his title? “Oh you bet!” he said with enthusiasm.

Empanger outlasts Herzog in 19 holes in Masters final

By Al Edenloff

Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — The Jon Empanger/Steve Herzog duel for the Men’s Masters crown was match play at its finest – and closest.

The match was tied for 15 of the 18 holes in regulation, so extra holes seemed inevitable and that’s what happened.

On the first extra hole, both golfers were on the green in two. Empanger, of Chaska, was about 10 feet away while Herzog, from Alexandria, was looking at a 12-foot birdie try. Herzog missed the putt, leaving Empanger an opening.

The former Resorters champion took advantage, rolling his putt toward the cup where it hung on the lip for a fraction of a second before going in to give Empanger a hardfought victory.

Echo Press records kept of all the winners across each division from prior Resorters Tournaments have this as Empanger’s ninth title across multiple divisions, but Empanger indicated during the awards ceremony on Saturday

that this was No. 8. It’s a lot either way, and Empanger got the job done in the Masters Division all week by winning 8-7, and two 5-4 matches leading into his tight battle with Herzog.

“It took a little bit for it to drop,” Empanger said of his winning putt. “I was putting really good today. It saved me.”

Empanger wasn’t only fighting a tough opponent in Herzog, but has also been battling some back pain this summer that started in his hip. He hopes he won’t have to deal with the injury come October because he’s having his hip replaced.

When asked how this year’s victory compares to his past titles, Empanger said, “This was a good one to win. My game hasn’t been as sharp the last couple of years.”

The match was a tight one from the start. They both shot nothing but pars through the first six holes until Herzog grabbed the first lead with a par win on the No. 7 Minnesota green. Empanger came right

Henry Buttweiler edges out Johnson in Junior 10-12 finals

By Sam Stuve Alexandria Echo Press

ALEXANDRIA — Alexandria’s Henry Buttweiler outlasted the rest of the Junior 10-12 Division field at the 101st Resorters to walk off of Alexandria Golf Club on Aug. 6 with a title.

In the finals, Buttweiler, the No. 3 seed in the bracket, defeated the No. 1 seed, Garrison Johnson, also from Alexandria, 2-1.

Buttweiler had the jump on Johnson after the first of nine holes as he won the par 4 10th hole for the third time in the four matches played.

Johnson tied the match on the par 4 13th with a par, but Buttweiler retook the lead with a par on the par 5 14th hole.

Once more, Johnson won a hole to tie it, this one being the par 4 15th hole, which he won with a par. However, Buttweiler won the par 4 16th with a par and won the 17th hole to win 2-1.

In the four matches, Buttweiler won the 14th hole three times and in the three times in match play that he had to play the 16th hole, he won it twice. Buttweiler also birdied the 16th hole in the qualifying round, along with the 13th hole.

Johnson cruised through his first three matches to get to the finals. He defeated No. 16 Brody Stout, 5-4, in the first match play round, then the No. 9 seed Ryker Thompson, 3-1. In the semifinals, he defeated No. 12 seed Nathan Bright, who had just knocked out two top five seeds in the previous rounds, 5-4.

Johnson earned the top seed in the bracket by shooting even par (36) in the qualifying round.

To get to the finals, Buttweiler had to make some clutch shots to win close matches against some of his opponents.

In his opening-round matchup against No. 14 seed Austin Gugisberg,

RESORTERS

From Page 1

This year’s field features a handful of last year’s winners as well as a plethora of champions from years prior, who are sure to be among the contenders in their respective divisions this year.

However, there will be a different champion in the Men’s division. Last year’s Men’s champion, Zak Jones, has turned professional, which has added more intrigue to the division this year.

“The Men’s champion is not returning; he has turned professional. That is always kind of a feather in the cap on your amateur turns professional after a tournament, like the Resorters, so that’s great,” Lee said. “But just with the USGA handicaps, we have players with plus sixes in the field this year, which is right with any tour player out there. John Rahm is probably sitting at plusnine. So that makes us feel pretty good here in small, small Alexandria.”

Buttweiler trailed by a hole heading to the 15th hole but turned things in his favor by winning it and the 16th to win 1-up.

Buttweiler had his biggest win by margin of victory come in the quarterfinals against the No. 11 seed Tyler Cullen, who he defeated 5-3.

In the semifinals against the No. 2 seed Bronx Esterline, who he tied with at 1-over par (37) in the qualifying round, Buttweiler was down one hole

after Esterline birdied the 10th hole. Buttweiler won holes 14 and 17 with birdies to win the match 1-up.

plan in place to reside the clubhouse and pro shop prior to this past spring, but a fire in the pro shop on Oct. 29, 2022, forced the club to accelerate that process.

“It started in the west side of the pro shop,” AGC President Randy Johnson told the Echo Press in March 2023. “We stored golf carts there throughout the years in the back, and they traced the fire to one of the golf carts’ ignition systems or battery systems.”

The valuation of the repairs and remodel from the fire, according to a City of Alexandria building report, is $614,409, most of which was covered by insurance.

The area where the fire started sustained damage, while the office and retail area suffered water and smoke damage. A lot of the shop’s merchandise experienced damage as well.

But thanks to a fast response time by first responders and their diligent work alongside workers at the club, the pro shop was able to be rebuilt on the same ground with the same interior footprint, and a ribbon cutting for the pro shop was held on May 27, 2023.

Lee expects this year’s tournament to be extremely competitive every single day.

“It’s always interesting because this is such a great match play golf course, and anything can happen on any given day,” Lee said. “Every Resorters champions has said there’s one round where you have to get away with shooting maybe one or two under par. But this year, I don’t know, that might be the case. You might have to go guns blazing 4-under par, to win every round. It’s a great playing field. We had a lot of our contestants in this year’s state amateur that put on a show. I think they’re going to continue to do it here.”

This year’s tournament is also the first with a resided clubhouse and pro shop at the Alexandria Golf Club.

There was already a

“I think a lot of people didn’t know about the fire, which is interesting,” Lee said. “I guess that’s what happens to the golf business; we forget about it in Minnesota when the snow starts falling. “It is an amazing new pro shop, and it’s worthy of 520 players coming into Alexandria Golf Club. It gave us a little bit more room to put some more stuff. It gave us a little bit more room to put some more stuff on the floor, and it also makes it a little bit more functional for the tournament.

We also really went back to the old awning and patio from the 1920s, which is when this tournament came about. And that awning is really going to be a registration table. And we just brought it back to what it always has been. So we’re excited to use that this year.”
