FINAL RESULTS: 2020 Stark County Amateur

The four players who led their divisions after Saturday’s first round at Skyland Pines converted those leads into victories at the 2020 Stark County Amateur Golf Championship.

Open Division

Maxwell Moldovan used his skill, talent and home course knowledge to earn his second consecutive Stark County Amateur Golf Championship title on Sunday.

Moldovan took the tournament lead on Saturday with a 1-under par 71 at Skyland Pines. Sunday’s final round at Ohio Prestwick Country Club, the course where he grew up and where his father John is the Director of Instruction, was expected by most to be a Maxwell run-away.

For awhile, it was.

After a slow start with a bogey at the second, Moldovan was off to the races with birdies at 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9. A 32 on the front side looked like cruise control kicking in, given a five shot lead in the tournament.

But Kyle Jones, an Ohio Prestwick member playing along side Moldovan, rallied on the back nine and made some putts to get to within two shots of the lead with two holes to play. Jones could get no closer, however, and he finished in second place at even par 144, shooting 72 at each golf course.

Canton Central Catholic senior Kyle Freudeman took third place with a 147.

50-59 Senior Division

Bobby Spino also used his experience playing at Ohio Prestwick to hold off the challengers in the 50-59 Senior Division.

Pairing his first round 73 with a Sunday 74, Spino edged out Allen Freeman by one shot. Prestwick member Tom McBride finished third.

60-69 Senior Division

Barry Riggs took advantage of the big lead he built with his 67 on Saturday at Skyland Pines, cruising home to the 60-69 Division title. A Sunday 78 was all he needed for a five-shot win over Ronny Bell.

70+ Senior Division

Dave Goff and Stark County Am Tournament Directory Randy Young finished in a tie at 165. Goff won the playoff on the 18th to take the title.

An Impressive Event

Kudos to event directors Randy Young and Doug Van Nostran. The entire operation — from the selection of the golf courses, to the event day details, to the gaudy amount of the merchandise prize payouts to Foxy Golf for 40% of the field — is as good as a local competitive amateur tournament can be.

Thanks to the event’s sponsors for making it happen: Foxy Golf (Title Sponsor), Van Nostran Young and Associates, Massillon Plaque, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Paramount Elite, Bruno Chirumbolo, Belden Financial, Crest Roofing, Rentwear, and Nilodor.

It’s a ton of work to put on this two day event, so be certain to thank these gentlemen for all of their efforts.
