left of the green. He chipped within two
feet to take a sizeable lead to the fi nal hole.
With a three-putt bogey on the fi nal
hole, Holmgren earned a four-shot victory
over Wilson and Bull-his biggest win to
date and fi rst since claiming the 2017 Class
AAA individual title as a senior at Wayzata
High School.
The biggest key for Holmgren en route
to his victory at the lengthy and daunting
course was his play off the tee, where he
would hit 36 of 42 fairways that week.
Holmgren, a 19-year-old who will enter
his sophomore season at North Dakota
State University this fall, grew up around
golf, constantly pushed by his siblings. His
older brother and teammate, Will, who will
be a senior for the Bison this fall, fi nished
in a tie for 10th Wednesday. His oldest
brother, Jack, recently graduated
from the University of South Dakota
after beginning his collegiate golf career
at the University of Iowa.
After carding back-to-back
rounds of 70 to begin the
championship-and in search
of his second MGA State Amateur
victory in fi ve years-
Bull posted a fi nal-round 75
Wednesday to fi nish tied for
second with Wilson at 1-under
par 215.

" It was a great tournament and awesome
to be out here. I was leading going
into today and, being honest with myself,
I knew I had my work cut out for me, " said
Bull, who won the 2014 championship on
his home course at Golden Valley Golf and
Country Club. " I didn't hit it great and
couldn't really go at pins like I wanted to. I
had to play a little cautious because my ball
striking just wasn't there.
" I'm frustrated with today, but I was not
playing where [Holmgren and Wilson]
were. Overall, I did what I could and hung
in there. Having been there before helped
and being there again will help next time.
The fi rst two days I did what I needed to
do and Day Three, I didn't. "
This week marked the fourth time
the MGA State Amateur Championship
was conducted at Hazeltine
National and fi rst since Hanstad's
victory in 2007, shooting a 54hole
total of 217. Edina's John
Harris claimed the championship
in 1987 with a score of
224 and Jim Archer won
the fi rst championship
played at the site in 1965
when it was conducted as a
match-play event, defeating
Jim Hiniker, 3 and 2.
