Through 36-holes, he carded a 132 to win his second WPLA Mid-Amateur title.

Aune started on the 10th hole. He eagled the fourth hole and then rattled off three consecutive birdies.

β€œI hit it really well (Saturday) and didn’t make much… Today I hit it not as good but the putter really caught fire.”

During his hot streak, Aune said he was thinking about all the putts he had missed in the previous weeks.

β€œBecause I’ve been hitting the ball really well and just have not been able to get it in the hole,” Aune said. β€œSo, it was nice to see them drop.”

β€œIt’s always good to win. There’s a lot of great competitors out there and a lot of friends. Anyone of them has the ability to win too. It was just my day today.”

Parker alum places fifth

Graduating from Janesville Parker High School in 2018, Matt Zimmerman has played at Riverside many times, the first of which came when he was just four years old.

Zimmerman shot a 68 in both rounds to claim fifth place.

β€œThe last two days have been the best I played this summer, for sure,” he said. β€œAll four parts came together.”

Zimmerman finished tied for seventh after Round 1 and hung around the top golfers for most of Round 2. Through 15 holes, he was tied for second. On his last hole of the day, the ninth hole, he double bogeyed.

β€œOverall, I’m happy with my two days,” Zimmerman said. β€œI hate that I doubled hole nine to end. That would have been my first bogey-free round ever. So that hurts, but I’m still happy with my performance.”

Zimmerman had 8 birdies, two eagles and three bogeys over his two rounds of golf.
