Play began yesterday, June 4, but was suspended in the afternoon due to heavy rain and unplayable course conditions. The round resumed this morning at 7:30 a.m.
Britt Coy (Carthage) recorded the low round of the event with a 5-under-par 67, highlighted by seven birdies and just two bogeys. Coy recently completed his freshman season with the Missouri Southern State University men’s golf team.
Hunter Jowers (Jonesboro) finished second with a 3-under 69, notching five birdies. Jowers recently completed his senior season with the Drury University men’s golf team.
Aiden Asby (Bolivar) and Pedro Marchioni (São Paulo) were the only other players to break par, each shooting 1-under 71.
The cut to qualify landed at 5-over-par 77, with a tightly contested leaderboard and multiple scores hovering around the cutline as players completed their rounds. An 11-for-4 playoff determined the final qualifying spots.
Derek Reynolds (Springfield) secured the first spot with a birdie on the opening playoff hole. Evan Rogers (Battlefield) birdied the second hole to claim the second spot. On the third hole, Cooper Toalson (Eldon) birdied and Tim Holmes (Springfield) parred to earn the final two qualifying positions.
Bryce Marshall (Rogersville) and Devun Salazar (El Dorado Springs) continued into a playoff for the alternate positions. Marshall saved par to claim first alternate honors, while Salazar bogeyed to finish as the second alternate.
The Missouri Golf Association would like to thank the staff at Rivercut Municipal Golf Course for their support and flexibility in hosting the event through weather delays.
Congratulations to all of the qualifiers. We look forward to seeing them at the 118th Missouri Amateur Championship, scheduled for June 24–29 at The Club at Old Hawthorne in Columbia.

ABOUT MGA: The Missouri Golf Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the best interests and true spirit of golf throughout the state of Missouri.
Founded in 1905 in St. Louis, the MGA was established to conduct the Missouri Amateur Championship, originally hosted by four founding clubs—St. Louis Country Club, Algonquin Golf Club, Glen Echo Golf Club, and Normandie Golf Club. In 1909, the invite-only championship expanded to Kansas City’s Evanston Club, and by 1911, the MGA became formally organized under Bonner Miller, its first Secretary and Executive Director. Since then, the MGA has grown to provide a variety of competitive tournaments, junior programs, and resources that support golfers of all ages and skill levels, continuing its mission to grow and enhance the game across Missouri.
