Chadd Slutzky (Deer Park) continued his exciting run of golf, in the summer of 2022, by winning the 30th Illinois State Mid-Amateur championship at Evanston Country Club.

Slutzky’s final round of 71 (-9) forthe championship, gave Slutzky a one-shot win over Andrew Price (Lake Bluff).

Slutzky tied with Price with one hole to play, managed a critical up and down for par on the 18th green, while Price three-putted to give Slutzky a 1 shot win.

” I have not had a stretch like this before. I don’t think,” said Slutzky. “It means a lot. It’s not a fluke, I’m a good Mid-Am golfer. I can win tournaments when I’m under pressure.”

Slutzky now has three titles in the Illinois State Mid-AM, (2015-2019 and 2022), and has won seven times in CDGA Championships, including three Four-ball titles and the 2017 CDGA  Mid-AM victory.

Slutzky gets another big chance to play Mid-Amateur golf, when he competes in the USGA Mid-Am Championship September 10-15 at Erin Hills and second course the Blue Mound Country Club in Wisconsin.

CDGA Championships for 2022 continue at the 36th Illinois State Senior Amateur Championship at Riverside Golf Club September 19-21.
