Hiestand’s Patience Rewarded
Ron Hiestand posted a 3 under par 69 early on Saturday at Cherry Creek, then waited paitently for his cherry pie to bake. Sure enough, when the final putt dropped the mid round leaders had faded and Ron took the victory. Almost overshadowing Ron’s fine round was 2nd place Willi Hesse who logged the Tour’s first Hole in One in 2 years on his way to a 2 under par 70. Scott Wilsey took 3rd and Tom Moran tied Gary Thomas tied for 4th. Wilsey’s consolation was moving into 1st in all-time Cherry Creek winnings. Hesse logged his 10th 2nd place finish on Tour. On course prizes went to Thomas and Ryan Kiekbusch. Ron got his 7th Tour win in his 130th start and moves to 4th in all-time Cherry Creek winnings. Ron said the best part of his win was that his son Sam’s name is also on the trophy!
Hesse Plants an Ace at Cherry Creek
Willi Hesse aced the 15th hole at
Cherry Creek. His PW from 104 yards was right at the pin. He thought it was in, and when the group got to the green and there were only 3 balls in sight, the feat was confirmed. This is the first ace on Tour since 2021.
