2018 Missouri Stroke Play Championship
Round 3 & 4
Thursday, July 19, 2018
Millwood G&RC, Ozark, MO
The top 53 players from this week’s Stroke Play Championship competed today in Rounds 3 & 4 at Millwood Golf and Racquet Club. These players made it through the 152-stroke cut from the original field of 106 golfers.
Round 3 tee times began at 8:00 this morning off holes 1 and 10. At the start of this round, John Fuchs (Springfield) held a 3-shot lead over Ryan Sullivan (Arnold). Fuchs shot a 72 but managed to hold on to his lead at the conclusion of Round 3.
Players had a short break for lunch then hit the course again for Round 4. Temperatures rose drastically for this round and created tough conditions but the competitors fought through it and put up a lower scoring average than Round 3.
In Round 4, Chris Obert (Ozark) fired a 3-under 68 to capture the lead and claim the title of Missouri Stroke Play Champion. Obert, a member of Missouri State’s golf team and a member of Millwood G&RC, used his course knowledge and skill to take the victory. Chris shot back-to-back 67s in the first two rounds of the tournament followed by a 73 in this morning’s Round 3. In Round 4 Obert carded 5 birdies, 11 pars, and 2 bogeys. He had a four-day combined total of 279.
Nick Westrich (Farmington) came in at a close second with a total score of 280. Dylan Bekemeier (Springfield) and John Fuchs (Springfield) tied for third place with scores of 283.
The Missouri Golf Association paid out a total $5,300 in pro-shop credit to the top 25 players with 1st place receiving $750. The MGA would like to thank the staff of Millwood Golf and Racquet Club for all their efforts throughout the week as well as all the competitors for making it a great tournament!
Congratulations again to our 2018 Stroke Play Champion, Chris Obert!

The Missouri Golf Association is thrilled to host the 21st Annual Missouri Stroke Play Championship at the Millwood Golf and Racquet Club in Ozark, Missouri from July 17 to 19.

The inaugural Stroke Play Championship was hosted in 1998 at the Millwood Golf & Racquet Club where Doug Diemer, a St. Louis native, claimed the very first title. Since then, Skip Berkmeyer, from Wildwood, has taken the Stroke Play title twice, once in 2013 at the Meadowbrook Country Club and another in 2016 at the Dalhousie Golf Club. Previous champions that will be returning to this year’s Stroke Play tournament include: Brian Haskell (2011), and Wayne Fredrick (2001), and Bobby Godwin (1999).
This year’s Championship will consist of 105 players. The practice round will be held on Monday, July 16, with individuals playing 18 holes. The Stroke Play Championship will officially kick off on Tuesday, July 17, and players will compete in the first round of 18 holes. On Wednesday, July 18, players will play another 18 holes and the tournament will be cut to 50 players and ties. There will be both an AM and PM round of 18 holes on Thursday, July 19. The AM round will be the third, and the PM will act as the final round. The champion will win an appropriate award and the traveling trophy for one year. Those who finish in the top 25 will receive gift certificates from the pro shop.
