2018 Missouri Amateur Championship
Sunday, June 24, 2018
Dalhousie Golf Club, Cape Girardeau
The Final Round of the 2018 Missouri Amateur Championship was held today at Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The two St. Joseph natives, Brad Nurski and Brooks Jungbluth, faced off in a 36 hole match play competition.
In the morning round, it was all Jungbluth with the 18 year-old making incredible putts to take the lead over Nurski. Jungbluth stayed either all square or ahead of defending champion Brad Nurski all morning. Nurski brought the match back to all square by the completion of the first 18 holes. Both players had outstanding morning rounds with both shooting modified match play scores of 67.
The players stopped after the first 18 to eat lunch and allow a thunderstorm to pass through the area. Play resumed around 1:30 for the final 18 holes.

Jungbluth continued to hold Nurski off until the 25th hole when Nurski took his first lead of the day. The two went back and forth until the 29th hole where Nurski took the lead for good.
Nurski continued to build his lead until finally claiming his back-to-back Missouri Amateur victory on the 35th hole, winning the Final Round 3 & 1.
It was an exciting and hard fought battle between the two. There was a lot of home-town spirit and cheers for both players as the two were from the same town. After a long week filled with weather delays and a challenging course, both players should be very proud of their efforts and performances.
Congratulations to the 2018 Missouri Amateur Champion, back-to-back and three-time winner, Brad Nurski!

The Missouri Golf Association is proud to host the 111th Missouri Amateur Championship at Dalhousie Golf Course from June 19th-24th. This year’s field is made up of 147 players from across the state, all hoping to see their name engraved on the Amateur trophy among Missouri’s best players including Payne Stewart and Tom Watson.
This is Dalhousie’s second time holding the Missouri Amateur with the first time being in 2012. Nick Wilson (Columbia) took home the trophy that year after defeating three-time Amateur champion, Skip Berkmeyer (St. Louis). The Missouri Golf Association is excited to return in 2018 to find a new Missouri Amateur Champion.
Although neither Wilson nor Berkmeyer are competing this year, there will be former champions in the mix. Last year’s champion, Brad Nurski (St. Joseph), will be looking for his third Missouri Amateur victory. The 2017 runner-up and 2016 champion, Sam Migdal (Ballwin), will also be returning to make another run at the trophy.

Practice rounds for the tournament will be held on Monday, June 19th. Official play will begin on Tuesday with a morning and afternoon wave of players competing in 18-hole stroke play rounds. Wednesday will be the same format. The players with the lowest 64 scores after Wednesday will move on to the match play portion of the tournament. Any ties for 64th place will be determined in an immediate hole-by-hole play-off. Thursday will mark the start of 18-hole match play competition with the Round of 64. Two 18-hole rounds will be played on Friday in the morning Round of 32 and afternoon Round of 16. On Saturday, the remaining eight players will compete in the Quarterfinal and Semifinal round.
