Freemont, Mitchell and Anderson Capture Top Honors at 26th Oregon Net Championship
WOODBURN, ORE. (Sunday, August 29, 2010) – With an 8.8 USGA Handicap Index, Cindy Anderson of Eugene, Ore. went wire to wire after firing a final round net 3-under par 69 to win by 5-strokes in the Women’s Division at the Oregon Net Championship at the OGA Golf Course in Woodburn, Ore.
The competition was much closer in the Men’s Division as John Mitchell of Prineville, Ore. and Mike Freemont of Portland, Ore. were crowned co-champions after finishing with a two-day net total of 10 under par.
Although there was a large gap in their handicap indexes, with a 21.4 and an 8.5 index respecitvely, they matched net scores as both players scored 67-67-134 beating the rest of the field by only one stroke.
The purpose of Net competition is to level the playing field so that all players have an opportunity to win regardless of age and playing ability.
A handicap index is computed using only the lowest ten of the players last twenty scores and measures a player’s potential ability. Players are expected to play to their handicap just twenty percent of the time. USGA Handicap Indexes are just one of the services provided to members of all OGA member clubs.
