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

The 22nd 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 3rd 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 27th 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 3rd, Mike Flom (E) was 4th, and John Bevans (+1) rounded out the top 5.
