About the only thing hotter than the warmer-than-usual summer temperatures blanketing eastern Idaho was the winning score at this year’s Potato Grower Golf Tournament at the Idaho Falls Country Club.

The team of Ragen Darrington, Jonny Webster, Andrew Roberts and Kendal Rolfe carded a 56 to win the 34th annual tournament, 16 under par and three strokes better than last year’s winning team.

Several teams were vying for prizes and money with the first place team edging out second place by three strokes. Tom Hopkins, Pete Cortez, Kamren Koompin and Andrew Cortez were the runners up this year.

Interestingly enough, places four through seven all ended with a score of 62, necessitating the country club to utilize the scorecard playoff system to determine fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh places.
