T
he sixth-annual Desert Two Ball
Challenge turned out to be as
competitive as it was fun – and a
double eagle on the final day made the
difference.
Brandt Kuhn of Indian Wells made
an albatross on the fourth hole on the
Celebrity Course at Indian Wells Golf
Resort, a key shot in the final round
that led he and teammate Casey
Richards to a two-stroke victory in the
gross division. He holed out
from 185 yards on the 500-
yard par-5, and he and
Richards carded a three-day
total of 197.
Wayne Maier of Palm
Desert and Matt Klewein
took the net title, shooting
171 to also win by two
strokes. In each division,
only five strokes separated
first and fifth places.
The three-day event
opened with a two-ball
scramble April 21 at the
Westin Mission Hills, fol-
lowed by a better-ball event at Classic
Club the next day and a shamble and
awards banquet April 23 Indian Wells
Golf Resort. All three properties are
managed by Troon Golf, and the event
was conceived as a way for golfers to
challenge themselves on a trio of the
Coachella Valley's most prestigious
tracks with fun and varied formats.
Winners took home stay-and-play
packages from the three facilities.
