Joshua Bousman of Davenport Country Club and his team (Kyle Jackson, Jim Steiner and Denney Dull) recorded 21 quota points, which was good enough for a third-place finish. 

In addition to the team event, today’s event featured an Open Division, Senior Division and Super Senior division for Iowa PGA Professionals and an individual amateur point quota event. 

Bousman, Ben Montgomery and Kevin DeNike finished in a three-way tie for first place at 3-under-par 68 in the Open Division. 
Bousman carded three straight birdies on Nos. 1-3 to along with his bogey-free front nine. He added two more birdies on the back nine to get to 3-under-par. Montgomery recorded four birdies including two-in-a-row on Nos. 17-18, and eagled the par-5 3rd hole brining his round total to 3-under-par. DeNike registered three birdies on the front nine before carding a bogey-free back nine, and one birdie to tie Bousman and Montgomery at 3-under-par.

John Bermel, Smool and Gibb all finished T4 in the Open Division. The three Iowa PGA Professionals finished at 2-under-par 69, falling just one stroke shy of the three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard. 

DeNike’s 3-under-par 68 was good enough to win the Senior Division, beating out Bermel by one stroke. The win marks DeNike’s first of the season.

Mike Hall of St. Andrews Golf Course took home the Super Senior Division, recording a 7-over-par 78. Hall beat out Mark Egly of the Des Moines Driving Range by one stroke to claim his first win of the 2018 season.
