Your 2026 Wisconsin State Amateur champion … Spencer Turtz

3:01

Kuiper misses. Double bogey. Lead is three

Kuiper came up short. Went long. Now has bogey putt

2:59

Turtz with a great lag. Makes par

2:55

Turtz almost birdies 16 after Kuiper got up and down for par from left of the Green. The margin is still one.

2:38

2:34

Turtz birdies 15 to take a one-shot lead on Kuiper

2:30

Guetzke 3-putt bogey on 18 to finish 6-over

Guetzke stays at 5-over

2:07

Jumped ahead to see Guetzke make par on the tough 17th

1:56

Guetzke birdies 15 to get to 5-over. He is now just one shot off the lead.

1:51

Kuiper gets up and down from the front of the Green to save par. Turtz saves par from the bunker. They are still tied.

1:47

Bogey for Kuiper at 12 from the fringe right in 2. Par for Turtz and we are tied with others starting to close in

1:41

1:36

Nice gallery on hand here at West Bend CC

1:26

A sandy on 11 to save par for Kuiper

1:10

Kuiper bogeys 10 but so does Turtz. Still a one shot cushion

1:06

Kuiper punches it into the bunker but his third shot doesn’t find the green here on 10

1:01

They are missing a score for Cloete but here’s how things stand at the turn. Ricky. Kuiper sniped one left on 10

12:52

Kuiper doubles 9 after that chip. Turtz bogeys. It is a free for all at the State Am

12:47

Kuiper just chipped one on and over the green from behind 9

12:34

Turtz bogeys to fall 3 back

12:33

Another par save for Kuiper

12:23

Kuiper birdied 7 to take a 2-shot lead.

12:21

Correction from earlier on Pohl. He used a wedge from the fringe on 3. So five putts but we are told there was a six- putt earlier

12:06

Ricky Kuiper birdies 6 to get to 1-over. He leads Sturtz by 1

11:47

A reminder that proposing to Twitter, the video of some of these highlights, but Spencer Turtz birdies number five to get to 2-over. Kuiper saves par from in front of the green

11:35

Here is how it stands as the last group plays 5

11:33

Turtz bogeyed No. 4 so Kuiper is alone at the top. I’ve covered the State Am since 1987 and Gary almost as long. I’m not sure we have seen a final round teetering like this one.

11:27

Kuiper up and down for par to stay 2-over

11:23

No on in the last group reaches the par-3 fourth

11:22

That was an 8 for Pohl on 3

11:17

Spencer Turtz makes a birdie to get back one of the two shots he lost on 1 and 2

11:10

We just saw Griffin Pohl use the putter six times on 3. They have not updated his score so we can’t tell you exactly what he made but it suffice it to say this hole location is juicy.

Meanwhile, up ahead, defending champion Vince Sigl just eagle number three to get within one

10:55

Spencer Turtz 3-putts for bogey and Mason Schmidtke had two approach shots. Come back down off the Green down to the fairway and made what I believe was an eight

10:54

Kuiper with an all-world par out of the trees near the parking lot. Stay at two over and he is now the leader.

10:39

Looks like they found Ricky’s ball
