It came down to the final holes for the champions to be crowned in the County, Open and Women’s divisions of the 90th Portage County Amateur Championship presented by Windmill Lakes.
In the Open Division, Chris Okeson of Lyndhurst jumped to the top of the standings after round one, carding a two-under-par 68 at Windmill. But Cole Christman of Canfield (pictured above), shot a sizzling round of four-under-par 68 at Sugar Bush after a 2-over par start at Windmill to earn the championship by two strokes over Okeson.
Evan Ferrara of Kent was tied for first after the initial round at Windmill Lakes, but put together a one-over-par 73 for his final round at Sugar Bush to edge out Chris Sloe of Aurora by two strokes to win the County Division.
In the Women’s Division, Hannah Finley of Kent, a member of the St. Mary’s College varsity golf team in Indiana, shot a three-over-par 75 at Sugar Bush for a 163 total, beating Meghan Wright, also of Kent and a College of Wooster varsity golf team member.
