Tadey, of the Twin Lakes Golf Course, shot a 207, three shots better than runner-up Kim Dixon of the PGCC. The overall low net went to Gary Parker, who shot a 201.Tadey, a former employee of the PGCC, was happy with his play during the four days.

“The golf course was playing tougher than I ever seen it play,” said Tadey, who added it’s in the best condition he has seen it in. “The greens were super firm.”

Tadey, who won the event last year, has also been a runner-up the first two times he played.

The event attracted 166 golfers.
