The only player who really beat down Skyland Pines Golf Course in Round One of the 2020 Stark County Amateur Championship was a 66 year old.
Playing in the 60-69 Age Division from the white tees, Barry Riggs posted a 5-under par 67 to shoot the low score of the 106 player field after 18 holes at Skyland Pines. He leads Ron Bell and Fred Miller by an eye-popping seven shots in that division heading into the final round at Ohio Prestwick Country Club on Sunday.
As a day of competitive golf, it was nearly perfect: the fairways were firm and fast, the weather was gorgeous, and the greens were smooth and running at 12.5 at Skyland Pines.
In the Open Division from the back tees, defending champion Maxwell Moldovan shot a 1-under par 71 to lead the championship field. Moldovan is in front of Kyle Jones by one shot, and four players by two: Dan Belden, Matt Frey, Gunnar McCollins and Jimmy Wild.
In the 50-59 Age Division, Bobby Spino, Tom McBride and Scott McVey all shot 1-over par 73 to sit in a tie for first place, with three other players two shots behind.
And in the 70+ Age Division, Dave Goff leads by two shots after an 81.
Sunday at Ohio Prestwick should be a barn burner in all four divisions. Note that due to a limited number of carts at Prestwick, no more than two carts per group will be available.
