Bruce Hegland, Apple Valley, MN
the 2007 Vandersluis Men's Champion
2007 Vandersluis
Congatulations to Bruce Hegland, Apple Valley, MN and Bruce Simenson, Bemidji, MN this year's Men's and Senior Men's Champions!

Bruce Hegland held a 1-shot lead going into the 18th hole over Neil Rude, White Bear Lake, MN but Neil's birdie on the 18th hole forced a playoff. When Bruce chipped in for birdie on #1 it gave him his first Vandersluis championship title.

Local favorites Bruce Simenson and Bob Kobilka battled for 18 holes and Bruce took a 2 shot lead to the final hole. But when Bob birdied it forced Bruce to 2-putt from long range to seal the victory. This was Bruce Simenson's first Vandersluis championship title. Congratulations to both Bruce Hegland and Bruce Simenson!

Next year's 41st Annual will be held August 30, 31 and September 1, 2008. Our event has an international field with a limit of 200 players with divisions for Men, Senior Men and Ladies. Our Men's Championship is particularly strong with many of the past champions (including 1996 British Open Champion Tom Lehman) going on to successful professional and amateur careers. The format provides top competition for players of all ability.

Men's Regular, Senior Men's Regular and Ladies' Regular play a qualifying round on Saturday and then are flighted based on their score. These regular flights then play an 18 hole match on Sunday.
