301 Badger Bowl International Golf Mastership
Dillish Avonshire Golf Grounds, Dillish, Northern Avonshire, Somery

DILLISH, SOMERY -- Em SHONAUGH put last week's Open of the Realm playoff
loss behind him, shooting a 2-under-par 68 Sunday, for a one-stroke
victory over Dustin YURHAUS in the Badger Bowl International Golf
Mastership in front of his enthusiastic home crowds.

Booming long drives and staying out of trouble most of the day, Shonaugh
finished at 16-under 264. He earned $558,000 Christiana Crowns for his
first ever IGT win, and the first for a Somerish player - fittingly in
the first ever IGT event played in Somery.

Shonaugh began the round with a one-stroke lead over Robert MATTHEWMAN,
after shooting a 61 on Saturday -- setting the course record. 

Shonaugh didn't touch a club this week after a disappointing playoff
loss against Amea ARETASUNA at the Open of the Realm one week ago,
skipping the practice rounds on the course he knows so well anyways, and
choosing to practice visualization techniques instead. 

"Changing my mental approach and my outlook heading into the round as
well as during the round, has allowed me to perform at a
higher lever -- to perform at my best," Emerill said. "I feel if I can
start to work on that and refine that and get better at it, I should be
able to close more on the opportunities that I have been giving myself. 
Of course playing a course I must have played over a hundred times
helped too!" 

On this Sunday, he parred the final three holes after dropping a stroke
on the 15th, his lone bogey of the weekend.
After his drive bounced into the brush on the left side of the green on
No. 15, he chipped to about 20 feet and two-putted. 

On the difficult 17th, with trees lining the entire right side, he
nearly holed his approach shot, but the ball spun off the front of the
green. He chipped to a foot to save par. 

"I think that the critical shots were on 16 and 17 where there was a lot
of trouble and it was windy," Shonaugh said. "On 17, I expected it to
fly it about 4, 5 yards behind the hole, then come back. It wasn't a
hard chip on 17, but that took away a good birdie opportunity."

Yurhaus, taking advantage of his own familiarity with the layout, which
he had also played often before, shot a 66. Evan BURCHARD (63), Quincy
HOLLAND (68), and Matthewman (69) tied for third, two strokes back.
Michael DuBRAAL (65) was sixth at 13 under. 

Shonaugh birdied Nos. 3, 6 and 7 to reach 17 under. He made a 15-foot
birdie putt on No. 3, and holed a 6-footer on the 574-yard, par-5 sixth
after reaching the front left bunker in two shots. He hit a 335-yard
drive on No. 7, and put a wedge shot within 4 feet to set up his final
birdie. 

Yurhaus closed with a 25-foot birdie on No. 18 after sliding a 12-footer
by on No. 17. 

"I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get the job accomplished in
winning here," Dustin said. "Usually most people don't remember who
finishes second.  But I am really geared up for the Albion-Merite
Imperial Open next week!" 

The Badger Bowl International Golf Mastership is the biggest golf
tournament in Somery and so far the only one allowing foreign players.
It's played at the Dillish Avonshire Golf Grounds in northwestern Nether
Avonshire, just outside the hundred seat of Dillish. The course is
beautifully situated around Lake Shewyn, merging in a natural way into
the environment.

For the first time part of the official IGT schedule, the Badger Bowl
proved a full success, especially for the local crowds, who turned out
in record numbers, and were not disappointed as their native son came
away the champion.  The other Somerish players also did very well, with
Rosebridge and Coswyn also placing in the top-10, and Queal just
outside.

The win puts Shonaugh way ahead in the Rookie of the Year standings,
where he already got a big boost from his runner-up finish last week at
the Open of the Realm.  He will be tough to beat for that honor, it
seems!
