Belle Plaine’s Tyler Johnson carded a four-over-par 76 Wednesday to finish in a tie for seventh place at the 107th Iowa Amateur Golf Championship at Sunnyside Country Club in Waterloo.
Johnson had been second after round two of the three-round tourney after a one-under 71 on the opening day, followed by a three-under 69 on Tuesday. But on Wednesday, he had six bogeys and just two birdies to finish at even par 216.
Ben Herrera of Ames blistered the course with rounds of 64, 68 and 70 for a 202, 10 strokes ahead of the field and 14 under par. He set a record for a 54-hole tourney that was last set in 2000.
The tournament also featured a pair of holes-in-one by Brad George, a University of Iowa sophomore from Marion.
Earlier this summer, Johnson won the Iowa Golf Association Match Play Championship at the Tournament Club of Iowa at Polk City.
