Scott Denig Captures City Championship
By Gary Kalahar, JTV Sports Scott Denig knows there’s a difference between averaging 33 in his golf league and being successful in tournament play. Knows it. Understands it. And, now more than ever, appreciates it. Denig, undoubtedly possessing the physical tools to be a top-flight player, has coupled that with a better mental approach and produced a breakthrough season that he capped Saturday by capturing his first major local tournament victory. Denig defeated former champion Josh Dirlam 5-and-4 in the 36-hole final match at Cascades Golf Course. The victory ended a solid week of golf for Denig in which he never trailed at any point in his five matches. To say he came out of nowhere to win the title might be a bit of an exaggeration – but not much. Consider that he had never previously won a City Championship match, losing in the first round in his only other two appearances. That was then. This is now. “I knew I had the game. I didn’t have the mental game,” Denig said of the difference that allowed him to claim the title. Three weeks ago, Denig and Dirlam were in the final group on the same course battling for…
