CROWDED LEADERBOARD AT THE<br />
BUSHNELL/CLUB CAR PRO-3AM<br />
Omaha, Neb- On a day where the winds howled at 20 miles per<br />
hour all day, several <strong>Nebraska</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> professionals and their teams<br />
competed in the Bushnell/Club Car Pro-3AM at Champions Run.<br />
It was a crowded leaderboard at the top as three professionals tied<br />
for first in the professional division after finishing at 70 and five<br />
teams finished in first at eight under-par 136.<br />
Chad Lydiatt, <strong>PGA</strong> of Awarii Dunes, Jon Petersen, <strong>PGA</strong> of Miracle<br />
Hill Golf and Tennis Center and Ryan Vermeer of Oak Hills<br />
all finished at two under-par to finish two strokes clear of the two<br />
way tie at fourth.<br />
“It was very windy so I knew I was going to make a few bogeys,”<br />
said Lydiatt, who made five birdies on the day. “I just tried to be<br />
aggressive on certain holes to make up for those bogies.”<br />
Bryan Hughett, <strong>PGA</strong> of Norfolk Country Club went out early and<br />
set the pace by firing an even-par round of 72 which was good<br />
enough for a tied fourth place finish. Host professional, Greg<br />
Neujahr, <strong>PGA</strong>, finished a little after Hughett but was able to match<br />
his 72 and finish tied with him for fourth overall. The team division<br />
provided plenty of excitement as five teams finished in a tie<br />
for first at eight under-par 136 in the one net + one gross format.<br />

Shannon Johnson makes Double Eagle on<br />
the Par 5 17th at Champions Run<br />
The senior division was won by Jim White, <strong>PGA</strong> MP West Nine and Learning Center who finished at two<br />
over-par 74. White’s 74 was good enough for a one shot win over Mike Schuchart, <strong>PGA</strong> Wilderness<br />
Ridge Golf Club who finished at three over-par 75.<br />
The highlight of the day goes to Shannon Johnson, amateur partner of Jesse Brodersen, <strong>PGA</strong> of Albion<br />
Country Club, who holed out her six iron at the par 5 17th hole for double eagle. This was Johnson’s first<br />
career double eagle who covers the <strong>Nebraska</strong> territory for PING golf.<br />
