Nebraska Mid-Amateur Championship

Spellerberg Completes Mid-Amateur Three-Peat

Bennington's Johnny Spellerberg finished off the three-peat during the Final Round of the 25th Nebraska Mid-Amateur Championship at Landmand Golf Club in Homer on Sunday. Spellerberg entered the day two strokes clear of the next player, after a first round 67 (-6), and fired another under-par round, a 71 (-2), to cruise to a six-stroke victory with a 138 (-8) total. It's the first time anyone has won three-straight Mid-Amateur titles, and he ties three others for the most titles in championship history. His 8-under total is also the second-lowest, only behind his 11-under total last year, and his six-stroke winning margin was one off the championship record.
