22nd Annual

2005

First Round & Final Round - Fox Hollow Golf Club (Rogers, MN) Par 72

The 22^nd annual Riggs Open was very unique.  27 holes (a Riggs Open first) of Championship Golf were played on Sunday, August 14, 2005.  It was a beautiful day at the gorgeous Fox Hollow Golf Club in Rogers, MN.  Fox Hollow is well known for it’s 3^rd hole (Par-3) that features a treacherous shot over the Crow River to a peninsula green.  Most of the guys mastered the hole okay, but there were a few splashes in the river!

T.W. Schlag (40) & Jim Taylor (41) set the early pace by playing very well on the front 9.  And, after 18 holes, Jim Taylor had a 78, and had stormed to the lead.  Doug Borsch (76) was close behind, as was Mike Flom (83).  So, we went to the final 9 with a great race! 

Doug Borsch posted a nice 39 on the final 9, and waited to see what Jim Taylor would do.  Jim was still playing well and needed a decent score on the final 27^th hole to win the tourney, but he faltered a little and couldn’t put it away.  It came down to Jim Taylor & Doug Borsch.  As the final scores were being tallied, we learned a few lessons about rules and scoring.  So, because they were so close, we had our first-ever Co-Champs, Doug Borsch (-8) & Jim Taylor (-8).  Scott Riggs (-2) finished 3^rd, Mike Flom (E) was 4^th, and John Bevans (+1) rounded out the top 5.
