Ethan Danish (Gallagher's Canyon Golf Club, pictured) put together an impressive victory Monday at Tower Ranch Golf Club in the Interior PGA Tour Championship.
Danish's 6-under-par 66 was the only sub-70 round of the day as he cruised to a five-stroke win and a $700 payday. Jamie Stevens (Kelowna Golf & Country Club) earned runner-up honours with a 71, collecting $460. A four-way tie for third place at 1-over included Cody Bell (Sunset Ranch Golf & Country Club), Keith Martin (Tower Ranch Golf Club), Myles Johnson (Hillview Golf Course) and Alec Hubert (Kamloops Golf & Country Club), each of whom took home $280. The tour thanks Aaron Piva of Real Property Management for sponsoring Monday's Championship
Despite the win, Danish came up just short of taking the tour's season-long Order of Merit title, which belonged to Lionel Taylor (Gallagher's Canyon Golf Club). Taylor finished the campaign with 293 points to Danish's 291. Bell ended the year in third place with 267 points, followed by Martin (262 points) and Russ Latimer (Black Mountain Golf Club, 205 points).
