Shaun Margeson, who plays out of Oakfield Golf and Country Club, finished with a +3 four-day total of 291.
“I hit 16 greens today and that gave me lots of looks at birdies,” Margeson, 18, said. “It was actually a stress free round, as I was hitting the ball really straight all week. Hitting it straight at River Hills is what you have to do to win here.
