Definitely winning "closest to the pin" on Hole No. 4 was Ryan Salo Korby with a hole-in-one over the gully.

"I knew it was going to be close, but it actually hit the flag and dropped straight in," said Korby. It was his third career hole-in-one on CCC's No. 4, all with different clubs.

Sponsors included Split Rock Private Trading, Members Cooperative Credit Union, and Reliable Insurance Agency.
