The Waterloo Open was once again a nailbiter finish as it was contested on July 19-21 at Gates Park Golf Course.
In the Professional Division Phoenix, AZ resident and Iowa native Trevor Ullestad (pictured right) captured the victory in style over Ottumwa native Matthew Walker in a three hole playoff. The two of them each carded an impressive 193 (-23) over the course of three rounds. Will Dickson out of Nashville, TN placed solo third at 194 (-22). Just one shot behind Dickson was former Iowa State University player Nick Voke.
In the Open Amateur Division, Mikey Takacs of Mason City fired the low round of the day to come from one behind to capture the title at 207 (-9). His margin of victory was just a single stroke over Jed Dirksen of Hampton. Brock Snyder, -7, and defending champion Owen Sawyer rounded out the top-four.
In the Senior Division there also was a tie for first between North Liberty resident Chad McCarty and Waterloo native KC Doland at 142 (-2). In solo third just one shot behind was Joe Bates from Albia.
In the Super Senior Division, George Gartelos from Marion captured the victory carding a 150 (+6). Also from Marion Todd Hingten finished five strokes behind, and there was a tie for third between Sam Aossey from Cedar Rapids and Cedar Falls resident Brian Ott carding 157 (+13).
