Homegrown golfer Daniel Summerhays is tied for the Utah Championship lead, going into the final round

Farmington • Daniel Summerhays is feeling comfortable about playing as a co-leader in Sunday’s final round of the Utah Championship, figuring he has experienced every possible outcome.

That’s not quite true. Partly due to his unusual entry point of professional golf, he never has won a tournament that offered him prize money. That could change at Oakridge Country Club, where a home-course victory would add another chapter to a family history of more than 50 years at this venue – covering the exploits of himself and his brother, father, uncle and nephew.

None of those performances in the State Amateur or the Utah Open, though, provided any immediate rewards resembling what’s available to Summerhays, who’s tied with Justin Lower at 11 under par after posting 66-68-68.
