Results
In the 2nd year of this tournament, we had a repeat champion. The 3x Red Putter champ, Matthew Kraus, is now the repeat winner of the Big Putts annual mini golf tournament. In the 2nd round, he tied his own tournament course record of 33 and finished steady to win by 3 strokes in the 3-round format. Justin Gutche had a strong 2nd-place finish of 115, with Cary Keller one stroke behind at 116.
Harry Riehl won the amateur division with a strong showing of 39 each round and Max Cullen took home both 2nd in amateur and 1st in the youth division.
Overall, it was a strong field of competitive mini golf regulars from the Upper Midwest that showed up despite the threat of bad weather that held off until after the tournament.
