Bull finishes in style, wins 2024 Northwest Amateur
No tournament compares to the Northwest Iowa Amateur contested at Spencer Golf and Country Club. This is Iowa’s only 72-hole tournament played over the course of four days consisting of multiple cuts. The 102nd rendition of the tournament was a nail-biter of a finish.
The tournament came down to the wire, but Norwalk’s very own Dennis Bull (above middle) came out victorious. During the final round, Bull carded three birdies on the back nine which helped him coast through the finish line. In total he shot rounds of 68 (-4), 66 (-6), 72 (E), and 69 (-3). Finishing runner-up at 276 (-12) was Mason Weeks from Spirit Lake and one shot behind him in solo third was 2013 Champion Trent Peterson.
In the Senior Division, 2022 champion overall J.D. Anderson from Johnston secured the victory by three shots. Over the course of 36 holes Anderson shot an impressive 138 (-6). Runner-up belonged to Spencer native Chris Kramer and 2021 champion overall Jon Brown. In fourth one shot behind third was Bret Taylor from Booneville.
The Super-Senior Division leaderboard was stacked with past champions of the event – Curtis Holck (‘04 and ‘05) from Ankeny won by a landslide. In his 36 holes, Holck shot an outstanding 137 (-7). Runner-up Ron Peterson (‘00) shot 145 (+1) and coming all the way from Austin, TX, Jeff Opheim (‘97) finished in solo third.
