Liam Clancy claims 107th Men's State Amateur on fourth playoff hole
LAUREL — Liam Clancy survived what turned into a marathon of a final round at the 107th Montana Men's State Amateur at Laurel Golf Club. A near two-hour weather delay halted play midway through the final round Saturday. Clancy, a Billings Central and University of Wyoming and Montana State Billings golfer, fired a 4-under par 68 to chase down leader and current Rocky Mountain College golf coach Nathan Bailey (plus-1, 73). The two battled into a playoff, but darkness put that on pause after two holes at about 9:15 p.m.

LAUREL — Sometimes, you've got to do what you've got to do to hone your craft. For Stevensville native Cory Bedell, who said that while at home he's a 30-minute drive from the nearest driving range, that meant installing a simulator in his garage recently to work on his swing anytime year-round.
