Sue Nyhus

Utah Women's Senior State Amateur

By Beaux Yenchik

The reign of the queen continued as the fighter jets flew above at the Utah Women’s Senior Amateur Championship – becoming the third lady ever to win the event at least four times.

Sue Nyhus, along with 45 others, tackled Hubbard Golf Course on Hill Air Force Base for the 26th playing of the senior women’s flagship event for those who are over the age of 50. With the course playing just over 5,000 yards, this northern-Utah gem provided the opportunity for plenty of birdies and low scores. Nyhus – the 2014, 2016-2018 Champion – walked away with the victory by finishing at 5-under par for the tournament. Winning by nine shots over second-place finisher, Roberta Scott (+4), Nyhus appeared to be on cruise control from start to finish – carding six birdies, two eagles and five bogeys over the two days of golf.
​

“I played solid tee to green,” Nyhus said. “I minimized my mistakes … I knew that I had to because the field was so strong.”

With the victory, Nyhus tied the great Gwen Adams with four titles. With a possibility to win four years in a row and a potential fifth overall, Nyhus will look to tie Annette Gaiotti’s record in 2019.
