Number 2 is a biggie! Brand new champion, Saturday finish, amazing golf course - it's all there!

The state amateur is far and away our biggest event. A unique and grueling test of golf, this championship crowns the very best after five long days.

Well in 2014, it was SIX days - thanks to Mother Nature, we had a Saturday finish for the first time in recent memory. And it sure was an exciting finish.

With a large gallery of spectators and perfect playing conditions (finally!) the relatively unknown Kelly took on Doug Clapp, the 2013 MGA Player of the Year. Kelly entered the final match on a tear, having played 10-under-par golf over the past 30 holes, but Clapp wasn't ready to concede quite yet. I'll let our videographer, Don Coyne, tell you all about it:
