proach inside of six feet
at No. 15 and rolled in his
birdie look to pull even
with Holmgren.
Finding
the rough left of the No. 16
fairway, he took control by
hitting one of his best shots
of the tournament. From
thick grass Capan chopped
his approach to 25 feet and
drilled his birdie chance to
take sole possession of the
lead.
" Walking up the No. 16
green I had a smile on my face because I
had a good feeling I'd make that putt, " said
Capan.
With back-to-back bogeys by Holmgren
on the fi nal two holes, Capan carded a pair
of pars to clinch the victory, setting a tournament
record in relation to par at 12-under
204.
Capan, of North Oaks, Minn., played two
seasons at the University of Alabama but
will transfer to Florida Gulf Coast University,
joining Holmgren and Winona State
University transfer Brady Madsen.
Entering the fi nal round eight shots off
the lead, the 2019 MGA Players' champion
Andrew Israelson posted a tournamentlow
7-under par 65, that included a stretch
of fi ve birdies in a seven-hole span to qui0

etly fi nish in second place at
10-under par 206-without
the longest club in his bag.
" I didn't have a driver. I
broke it mid-round yesterday
and I got a couple new
shafts in there last minute,
but they're not what I need,
so I only hit that a handful
of times today. It was probably
a good thing because I
was hitting a lot of fairways
and hitting a lot of really
good wedges. I rolled the
putter really well-I changed the putter,
too, " Israelson laughed.
Israelson played the second and third
rounds of the tournament without a bogey.
Playing his fi rst 12 holes in
3-under in the fi nal round,
Holmgren moved to 11-under
with his birdie at the par-5 13th
hole and would take the lead momentarily
when Capan made bogey
at the 14th hole. But the chance
of a second title in three seasons was
dashed with two bogeys on the fi nal
two holes as Holmgren would card a
fi nal-round 70 to fi nish in a tie for
third with Sammy Schmitz and
Trent Peterson at 9-under 207.
