A pair of local players competed at the PGA of Saskatchewan Open held July 2-3 at The Willows Golf and Country Club in Saskatoon.

Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club head pro Brian Dueck finished tied for 16th after carding a 5-over 149 over the 36-hole event.

Woodlawn assistant pro Amanda Minchin finished 15-over, putting her in a tie for 41st.

Dueck fired a 74 on July 2 and followed that up with a final-round 75. That was just enough to put him in the money, earning a cheque for $75.

Minchin shot rounds of 79 and 80 for a two-day total of 159.

Jason Schneider of the Wildwood Golf Course was the open champion, shooting rounds of 67 and 71 to win by three strokes and cash in a prize of $1,900.

The field included 53 golfers.

Meanwhile, two Estevanites are participating in the Saskatchewan Mid-Amateur Men's Championship this week, also at The Willows.

Brett Blackstock and Walter Wood are part of a field of 79 players at the three-day event, which began Monday and wraps up today.
