Johnson Wins First Dakota Tour Event At Marshall

Neil Johnson won the Schan Food/MGC Great Plains Open yesterday at the Marshall Golf Club. Johnson, a native of River Falls Wisconsin, sank puts from more than 10-feet out, as he made a clutch run from behind to grab a two stroke victory at the Great Plains Open. It was Johnson's first win on the Dakotas Tour. Johnson fired a final round 68 yeterday, which was good enough for him to beat Tim AIles and Josh Persons by two strokes. Second round leader Anthony Verna fired a one over 72, and fell to fourth. Johnson finished 9-under par for the tournament yesterday. For the championship he grabbed the tournament trophy along with 8,100-dollars in prize money.
