FORT HUACHUCA — Gary Adams of Willcox shot a 70 on Saturday to win the first leg of the Cochise County Men’s Amateur Golf Championship by two strokes over Buena High School golfer James Wallace.
“I hit the ball pretty well,” Adams said. “I’ve played this course randomly — maybe twice over the last 20 years.”
Adams, who grew up driving carts around Mountain View when his father worked the course in the 1970s, held off a hard charge from the teenager Wallace, who lit up the back nine with a four-under par 32.
