They say persistence pays….and in
Josh Malnory’s case, did it ever. The Eau
Claire Native, and current White Bear Lake
resident captured this year’s 2022 CVGA
Hallie Open with a spectacular -7 par
63. He wasn’t alone at 63, as Golden Gopher
Antione Sale posted the same 63. Malnory
chipped in on Hole #1 of the sudden death playoff
to win. This is Josh’s 3rd CVGA
victory having won the 2004 Durand and Cadott
Opens respectfully. 18 years between
victories. Wow! Congrats to both players for
outstanding play. Coming in 3rd place
was 2022 CVGA 2-time winner Bennett Swavely,
who shot a beautiful 64 to miss the playoff
by one. 4th place went to
last year’s POY Runner-up Brandon Sperling of
Concordia College. What a great turn out and
fantastic day of Golf it was.
The
next stop on the CVGA Tour is breathtaking
Turtleback Golf Course in Rice Lake, WI on
Aug. 14th. To make your tee time call

of Champions form to be posted as this year’s
event promises to be an unbelievable experience
with all the changes to the Eau Claire Country
Club. See you at Turtleback!!
