Whitney Wins the Trophy in Chandler Championship
TEMPE, Ariz. — Cyrus Whitney of Oro Valley, Ariz., holed a six-foot par putt on the 36th hole for a 6-under par 65 to win the 2007 Chandler City Amateur Championship, sponsored by Magique Golf. Held recently at Bear Creek Golf Course in Chandler, Ariz., the inaugural event welcomed all amateurs with a current U.S. Golf Association (USGA) approved handicap to compete for the perpetual ‘Dr. AJ Chandler’ trophy presented by Magique Golf.
Whitney carded 13 birdies and a bogey over 36 holes to finish at 12-under par (65-65-130), a stroke better than the runner-up. Whitney, who turns 50 next week, has won Arizona Golf Association Divisional Match Play and Stroke Play Championships, and was the 2005 (Master’s) Divisional Player of the Year. Twice he has played in the Goldwater Cup Matches. Whitney, a retired currency trader from New Jersey who has memberships at Royal Dunes in Maricopa and The Gallery Golf Club in Marana, moved to Arizona three years ago. He advanced to match play at the Arizona Amateur this week at Tucson Country Club before losing 1 up in the round of 64.
“As a Chandler resident, I am always happy to support amateur golf in my own backyard,” says Sean Sheppard, president of Magique Golf. “To have such a strong field for the inaugural Chandler City Golf Championship made for an exciting finish. We look forward to lending Magique’s support in the future and we hope to build one the premier amateur events in Arizona.”
