Amateurs Win Utah Governor’s Cup Second Straight Year

For many years the Utah Section of the PGA dominated the annual Governor’s Cup matches with the amateurs of the Utah Golf Association, but in recent years the momentum has changed. Thursday the amateurs won the Cup for the second straight year by giving the pros a pretty good thumping, 20-12, at Hubbard Golf Course at Hill Air Force Base.

The amateurs have now won three out of the last four matches, but the pros hold a 20-7-2 overall record and so they have a cushion of more than a dozen years.

The matches have a Ryder Cup style format with competitions in foursomes (alternating shots), four ball, and singles. Each team consists of 12 at large players and four seniors.

The biggest difference came in the senior division where the senior amateurs threw a shutout against the professional seniors, winning all eight points, which was the margin of victory. In the at-large match ups the two teams halved the points.
