S
urrendering a late lead for
the second time in two
weeks must have seemed
like a cruel fl ashback for
Frankie Capan during the
fi nal round of the 117th Minnesota Golf
Association Amateur Championship.
Capan was unable to bounce back
from a pair of mid-round bogeys at the
Minnesota State Open, and watched as
University of Minnesota golfer Angus
Flanagan pulled away with a two-stroke
victory.
Entering the Amateur's fi nal 18 holes
with a four-stroke lead, Capan scored
back-to-back bogeys late to relinquish his
lead once again. This time however, he
fl ipped the script by rallying with a pair
of birdies to hold off the surging duo of
Andrew Israelson and Van Holmgren to
collect his fi rst state victory and a little redemption
as well.
" It always feels good to win and hoist a
trophy at the end of the day, but I wish I
had a couple shots back, " Capan said after
the fi nal round.
" The game is feeling good and after
last week, I really wanted this one. Angus
put together a very good fi nal round and
ended up shooting the course record. I
put together really good golf and just got

but this one feels really good.
" It was a very up-and-down round today.
I started off with a par and then birdied
two-made a nice little 40-footer, but
wasn't really able to get anything going
until later in the round. It was a little frustrating
because it was a lot different than
the fi rst two days. I was playing well and
hitting good, consistent shots and making
birdies on the easier holes. "
After lengthy putts to start, Capan was
unable to make any substantial putts for
the next 14 holes. Bogeys at hole number
four and hole number six trimmed his
lead to one over Holmgren, but Capan
rolled in a short birdie at the eighth hole
to turn at 11-under for the championship.
A
two-putt birdie at the par-5 12th
hole stretched Capan's lead to two, but he
would run into trouble at No. 13 by putting
his second shot into the water. Limiting
the damage with a bogey and clinging
to a share of the lead, Capan bogeyed the
par-4 14th hole to fall one back.
Capan responded by sticking his ap>>
