Heath Myers left no doubt this time around.

The local businessman had just one bogey over 36 holes last weekend to reclaim the Kingfisher Golf Association men’s club championship.

It was the 14th time Myers has won the title and did so in convincing fashion.

A year after losing to Drew Henderson in a playoff, Myers defeated a pair of runners-up by 13 strokes. Henderson did not play in this year’s event.

Those in the club championship field found themselves no closer than five strokes after Saturday’s opening round.

Myers carded a 4-under par 66 to lead Keith Campbell and Jeremy Kenaston by the five-stroke margin.

The first 18 holes saw Myers counter his lone bogey with five birdies.

His closing round on Sunday was even more impressive.

Myers rattled off nine birdies, including six on the back-nine.

After going out with a 3-under 31, Myers started the back-nine with three straight birdies.

He managed “just” one birdie over the next four holes, but closed out the competition with two straight for a 9-under 61.

His two-day total was 127.

Kenaston carded a 69 on Sunday and finished tied with Cooper Barrick.

The latter opened with a

Campbell and Adam Perkey tied for fourth with 142s.

Campbell, a former club champion, had matching 71s.

Perkey shot 72 and 70 for his 142.

Tristun Burnham, who will be a senior at Kingfisher High School, was sixth with matching 72s (144).

Jimmy Ladwig (74-74) and Derek Patterson (75-73) tied for seventh with 148s.

Blake Callaham (75-74) took ninth with his 149 and Heath Redwine (78-72) rounded out the top-10 at 150.

Harlee Strickland tied for 11th with Jason Hampton with 153.

Strickland, with a 12-handicap, netted a 129 total to win the handicap championship.

He shot 79 on Saturday and followed it with a 74.

Rick Thomas swept the senior division (ages 50-64) championships.

Thomas had the only under-par round in the division when he turned in a 68 on Sunday.

That, coupled with his even-par 70 on Saturday, gave him a 138 total to defeat Reggie Redwine by five strokes.

Redwine had rounds of 73 and 70.

Gary Wilson took third place with a 145. He opened with a 74 and shot 71 on Sunday.

Mike Chambless was fourth with a 146. John Grellner, Chad Hart, Troy Haub and Jim Mueggenborg tied for fifth with 152s.

Thomas boasts a 3-handicap to put him at a net of 132. That was good enough to defeat Jeff Farrell by one stroke for the handicap championship.

The super senior (age 65 and up) championship went home with Terry Niles.

Niles opened with a 74 to lead Tim Meier by four strokes and Dave Krittenbrink by five. Part of Krittenbrink’s opening round was a holein- one on the par-3 sixth hole.

Niles secured the championship with a 70 on Sunday to keep the same fourstroke margin over Meier.

Meier, though, won the handicap title. His 10-handicap gave him a net score of 128, which beat the nearest competitor by eight strokes.
