In the team competition, professional Aaron McClay’s team of Steensland, Skarda and Johnson took the 2010 title by shooting -63. Ensrud, Klein, Bienash and Passe took second at -54, while Snyder, Grove, LeRoy and Schouweiler took third at -50.

• Sunday saw some bird-watching on hole number six when pro Tom Dolby and amateur Russ Newman holed back-to-back wedge shots for consecutive eagles. Dolby holed out from 80 yards, then Newman flew his 60-yarder in right on top of Dolby’s ball.

The original starting times were scrapped after more than an hour long rain delay Friday morning. The event was converted to a shotgun start, with a morning group going off at 10:00a.m., and an afternoon session starting at approximately 4:00p.m. Borgen and his team took to a damp, but playable Southview Country Club course in the morning session and proceeded to charge to the front of the pack. His one bogey was easily offset by 6 birdies and good enough for a round of 66. The difference between Borgen and John Carlson, was one more bogey on Carlson’s card.

In the team event, the group led by Sundance professional Aaron McClay set the pace early going 21 under par. The groups “A” player is Ryan Steensland, member of the 2009 winning team. Steensland is playing under difficult circumstances, just five days removed from the passing of his 7 year old son who died of an a rare form of cancer on Sunday. His group, however, rallied and held the lead until completion of the afternoon session. Andy Paulson (University of Minnesota) and his group equaled McClay’s foursome, creating a tie after the first round.

The forecast calls for afternoon rain on Saturday, but after the soggy first round conditions, nothing should catch this group by surprise.

Afternoon players (teams 31-61) started the afternoon shotgun at 3:50PM. Rounds that are not completed will tentatively resume at 6:40AM on Saturday.

Note: carts will be extremely limited today due to conditions. We recommend you bring the lightest bag you have or find a friend to caddy. If you are physically unable to walk, please contact Phil Callen.

For the past 10 years, Madden has contributed monetarily to the Tapemark, citing the tournament’s mission as his reason for support. “Really it just comes down to the cause they are supporting,” says Madden. “Helping people with disabilities has been a huge part of my life and I want to continue to support other organizations who do the same.”

In 1976, Madden and his wife founded Dungarvin, a national organization of privately owned companies that are dedicated to providing high quality, community-based supports to people with developmental disabilities. So it is no wonder the Tapemark’s cause is close to his heart.

This year, Madded purchased 60 raffle tickets at $50 each for the Tapemark’s “One in Five Raffle.” Only 500 tickets are sold for this raffle, with 100 prizes awarded. But for Madden, it’s not about the prizes.

“The Tapemark is just a great, stand-up organization, and I’m proud to support it in any way I can.”
