Pat Pelletier (Crown Point) and Cory Mansfield (Derryfield) fired even-par 71’s at Newport GC to lead the Professional field in this week’s New Hampshire Chapter of the New England PGA Pro-Am. Pelletier opened with a double-bogey, but fought back playing the final 17 holes in 2-under par, while Mansfield had it to 2-under after 10 before giving a couple back coming in. Todd Rollins (Ready Golf) finished third with a 72 highlighted by an eagle on 18, followed by Jay Pollini (The Oaks) and Dan Wilkins (Laconia CC) tied at 73.

Danny Kish and his Indoor Golf Club team went out first and raced around so they could make another event later in the day in Vermont. The formula paid off as they took home the Low Gross team honors with a 7 under par 64. Kish had help from his partners Kieran Altieri, Brian Rosinski and Ben Whitaker. Golf Garage’s Sam Holden and his team were second, just one back at -6 followed by the teams led by Montcalm’s Erik Lindahl and Beaver Meadow’s Trevor Moore who tied for third.

Matt Thibeault (Intervale), Walter Reeves (Canterbury Woods), Vince Molesky (Apple Hill) and Dan Wilkins (Laconia CC) captained their groups to a tie for third at 63.
