Jake Wilson and Eli Rogers teamed up to win the eighth annual Flathead Beacon Pro Scratch Golf Tournament earlier this week.
The Hamilton duo won the two-day tournament with a final score of 131. Kalispell’s Casey Keyser and Ryan Buls placed second, 133, and another Kalispell duo, Jess Roper and Logan Lindholm, earned third, 135.
This year’s tournament, featuring the first round at Eagle Bend in Bigfork on Monday and second round at Northern Pines on Tuesday, had the largest field since the event’s inception with 36 teams. Players from as far away as California and Arizona traveled to the Flathead Valley to compete in the event, which had a total cash purse of $20,000. The top 10 teams were awarded cash prizes.
