Owens captures Spring Net Championship
WEST CHESTER, Pa.–Steven Owens of Ashbourne Country Club fired a net 65 to cruise to victory in the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Spring Net Championship on Thursday at Hershey’s Mill Golf Club.
Owens, a 12 handicap, bested a field of 132 players to take home the overall low net championship trophy. The 6,296-yard, par-72 layout played firm and fast during on a hot, muggy afternoon.
Playing early in the morning, Owens took advantage of the cooler temperatures. He birdied two of the first three holes – No. 1 (par 5, 488 yards) and No. 3 (par 5, 495 yards) – to jumpstart his round.
A few struggles coming in rounded out a front nine 40.
However, Owens did not allow those mistakes, including a triple bogey on the ninth hole, dictate the final nine of his round. He bounced back with a birdie at No. 10 (par 4, 349 yards) and another on No. 11 (par 5, 468 yards). A third birdie on the par 4, 14th hole (351 yards) helped Owens complete a stellar 1-over-par gross score of 37 on the back nine and a round of net 65.
