Team Peoria defeated Team Tazwood 11-7 last weekend in the 25th annual Junior River Cup golf competition, cutting Team Tazwood's lead in the series to 17-8.

But everyone left Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria a winner late Sunday afternoon after Team Peoria was presented the championship trophy. 

The team captains. The golfers. The spectators. The caddies. The tournament officials. All winners. All agreed Mt. Hawley was a wonderful host and the course was presented beautifully.

Each endured hot, muggy weather Saturday and Sunday to play or witness two great days of golf that featured several close matches, clutch shots, and exemplary sportsmanship.

"I played in the Junior River Cup when I was a kid. It was great to see another generation of golfers do that and compete so hard. There was a high level of talent out there," said Team Peoria captain Patrick Hogan, who filled in for longtime captain Daniel Young, who was out of town. 

"I'm especially proud of the kids on my team who found a way to win while not playing their best golf," Hogan said. "And several of our guys did a great job finishing. A lot of matches came down to the final holes."

One of the close matches was the last one Sunday. Team Peoria's Brock Brown made a long birdie putt on the 17th hole to tie his individual match against Team Tazwood's Connor Watson. Both golfers then birdied the 18th hole.

Team Tazwood captain Gregg Guenther said the golfers on both teams "all won by qualifying to compete in this tournament. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone will do this fall on their school's team."

Guenther said his Team Tazwood golfers played as well as they could, but Team Peoria was just too good.

Guenther also said he was delighted to see so many former Junior River Cup golfers return to the tournament to work as caddies this year.

"More than usual," he said. "That says something about how much they enjoyed playing in the tournament."

River Cup Foundation President Matt Fahel said he was humbled by the number of parents, grandparents, other family members and spectators who came out to watch the matches on such hot days. "It makes what we do worthwhile,"

Team Peoria and Team Tazwood each had 12 golfers on its roster, four in the under-15 age group and eight in the 16-18 age group. 

Each golfer had a story to tell. Here are Luke Johnson and Cooper Hansen's stories.

Johnson won his best ball match Saturday and individual match Sunday to help Team Peoria win the championship.

The Dunlap High School junior golfer lost both of his Junior River Cup matches last year. He said he used the match play experience he gained playing in the 2023 Junior River Cup and the two defeats as motivation this year.

Sage advice from Hogan and Johnson's family members was another weapon in Johnson's arsenal. They all told him to have a short memory during his matches.

Johnson put the advice to good use in his individual match Sunday vs. Team Tazwood's Owen Adams.

"I was 2-down after two holes," he said. "But I said to myself, 'That's done,' and moved on."

Johnson ended up winning the match 4 and 2.

Hansen played golf for three years at Delavan High School, helping the Panthers win three consecutive Tomahawk Conference championships. He'll be playing his fall for the men's golf team at Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg.

Hansen didn't win either of his Junior River Cup matches (one draw and one loss) and Team Tazwood didn't win the championship, but those were the only downers of the weekend for him.

"Delavan's golf team doesn't play the big schools in the area like the schools in the Mid-Illini Conference. I showed (in the Junior River Cup) that I can compete with the big dogs," Hansen said. "Plus, this tournament was great preparation for college golf."

Hansen was in the last group Saturday, which meant the entire gallery and many of the golfers surrounded the 18th hole green to watch the conclusion of his best ball match.

"I felt a little pressure. But that was good," Hansen said.

His 15-foot putt for par on the 17th hole put his best ball team 1-up and secured at least a tie for the match. The match ended up in a draw. 

Here are the results of the matches in the 25th annual Junior River Cup:

The best young golfers in central Illinois will tee it up this weekend at Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria.
What's the occasion? The 25th annual Junior River Cup competition.

Team Tazwood will take on Team Peoria in two-golfer best ball matches Saturday and individual matches Sunday. There are a dozen golfers on each team, eight in the 16-18 age group and four in the under-15 age group.

Playing on its "home" course, Team Peoria will look this weekend to end Team Tazwood's two-year winning streak and cut into Team Tazwood's 17-7 record in the overall series.

While the Junior River Cup championship and bragging rights for a year will be up for grabs this weekend, there's no doubt a large number of golfers who played on both teams in the Junior River Cup over the past 24 years went on to have outstanding high school and collegiate careers, and even turn pro.


Among them are Drake Bushong, Jordan Fahel, Mason Ghidina, Jonathan Hauter, Jonathan Krick, Pete and Tommy Kuhl, Mason Minkel, David Perkins, Scott Phegley, Carter Stevenson, Weston Walker and Jason Woll.

Minkel, now a senior on the NCAA Division II power University of West Florida men's golf team after a stellar golf career at Pekin Community High School, went 9-0-1 in five Junior River Cup competitions, helping Team Tazwood win four times.

Winning nine out of his 10 Junior River Cup matches was great, Minkel said, and so was the experience. 

"It was one of the first times I played in front of news cameras and crowds," Minkel said.

Who will emerge from this year's Junior River Cup rosters to join the list of Junior River Cup alumni greats? That's to be determined.


Gregg Guenther is in his sixth year as the Team Tazwood captain. He has a 3-2 record. Guenther has been the coach of the Midwest Central High School golf team since 1997, the year he founded the program at the Manito school.

Patrick Hogan is filling in for his friend Daniel Young this weekend as the Team Peoria captain. Young, who has been the Team Peoria captain for nine years, is out of town. Hogan is heading into his 10th season as the coach of the Peoria Richwoods High School boys golf team.

"I know how much the Junior River Cup means to Danny, so I told him I'd take care of everything while he was gone," Hogan said.

Each captain has a past connection to the Junior River Cup.

Guenther was a caddy when he was younger. Hogan played for Team Peoria in the 2003 Junior River Cup at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Washington. He won his best ball match with teammate Trevor Fitch, and halved his individual match against Alex Harrington, helping Team Peoria win 7-5.

"If I remember correctly, I won the 18th hole with a birdie from the bunker to halve the match against Alex," Hogan said. "I really enjoyed playing the best ball part of the Junior River Cup. Golf is normally an individual sport, but best ball is like a team sport in that you have to rely on your partner."


Most of the golfers who will play at Mt. Hawley this weekend are new or relatively new to match play. What advice will their captain have for them?

"You must have a short memory," Hogan said. "If you have a bad hole, that doesn't mean you're out of a match. Just move on to the next hole and keep grinding. Getting an up and down on a hole can be a backbreaker for your opponent.

"Have fun. Enjoy yourself. You'll be creating memories that will last a lifetime. And don't be nervous. The hard part is over. You've played enough good golf over the last several months to qualify to be selected for the team."

Guenther reiterated Hogan's words of wisdom about having a short memory during a match.

"If a match goes the distance," he said, "it's like you're playing 18 separate matches."


There are two aspects of being involved in the Junior River Cup that put an extra smile on Guenther's face.

"I love calling kids and telling them they made our team," he said. "And most of the golfers on both teams aren't country club kids, but they get an opportunity play great country club courses like Mt. Hawley, Pekin and Peoria."

Pairings for this week's Junior River Cup best ball and individual matches will be determined Friday by Guenther and Hogan, who will alternate making the first choice in a match. 

Typically, the golfers on both teams play a significant role in setting up the matchups. That's been the case again this year.

"I've already had texts from three kids asking to have a certain partner in best ball or telling me who from Team Peoria they'd like to face," Guenther said during a mid-week interview.


Here are the 2024 Team Tazwood and Team Peoria rosters and the high school each player will attend, is attending, or attended. For those golfers who won't be in high school this fall, their junior high school or middle school is listed.

To the victors go the spoils. Or in the case of the River Cup men's competition, a crystal trophy in the shape of cup.

"I have the cup at home. It'll be there for about a month," said Austin Craig, captain of Team Tazwood, which defeated Team Peoria 10 1/2 to 7 1/2 last weekend at Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria. The win gave Team Tazwood a 20-12 lead over Team Peoria in the overall River Cup standings, and five victories in the last seven years. This was Craig's fifth year playing for Team Tazwood in the River Cup. It was the first time he served as the team's captain.

"Being the captain is a whole different scenario than 'just' being on the team. I was constantly looking at the results app, checking out the scores," he said. "We didn't play our best Saturday, but I was confident we could pull out the win Sunday. It's very rare that the guys on our team don't play well two days in a row. I also liked the matchups Sunday. It was just a matter of us executing."

Team Tazwood and Team Peoria were tied 3-3 after the best ball competition Saturday. So the championship came down to the 12 individual matches Sunday. One match finished in a draw. Team Tazwood went 7-4 in the other 11 individual matches. Carter Stevenson, DJ Norman, Tim Saurs, Ryan Cusack, Brian Draher, Tim Sheppard and Mason Minkel recorded the victories.

At age 67, Saurs should have been playing in the River Cup seniors competition, for players ages 50 and older. After a couple years playing with the seniors, Saurs opted to play in the men's division so he could play with his son Ryan Saurs and he came through with a big win Sunday, defeating Illinois Central College golfer Quinn Cox 4 and 3. Ryan Saurs had the lone draw Sunday, tying with John Team Peoria's Ehrgott. Tim Saurs received a rousing ovation Sunday from the crowd of golfers and spectators that gathered for the awards ceremony as Team Tazwood posed for a team photo. He responded with a huge smile.

Andrew Wuethrich, Brien Davis, Doug Middendorf and Steven Taylor won Sunday for Team Peoria. Wuethrich defeated Craig 7 and 6. "I have to hand to Andrew. He kicked my butt," Craig said.

Team Peoria captain Britt Bothast, another first-year captain, also lost Sunday. He was defeated by Bradley University golfer Carter Stevenson in a close 1-up match. Craig praised Team Peoria, acknowledging the tough competition it provided, and said, "We know they're going to be hunting us down until next summer."

River Cup Foundation President Matt Fahel thanked the family members and friends of the River Cup competitors for filling the golf course during the weekend and cheering on "the best golfers in the area." He also thanked Mt. Hawley club professional Dave Lundy, assistant professional Rico Scott, club superintendent Spencer Smith and the Mt. Hawley membership for their hard work preparing the course and gracious hospitality and allowing the River Cup to "add to the history of Mt. Hawley."

Lundy, in turn, said Mt. Hawley was thrilled to host the River Cup, and he thanked the club's board and members for their support of the tournament. "I'm glad the area's best golfers had an opportunity to play our course,"  he said.

Craig said the River Cup men's and senior competitors aren't just the area's best golfers. "Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford counties have as many good golfers as any three counties in Illinois," he said.

There were two noteworthy achievements last weekend in the River Cup senior competition. Team Peoria extended its winning streak over Team Tazwood, winning 10-8 at Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria.  Over the past 13 years, Team Peoria has lost only twice to Team Tazwood. Each loss was at Mt. Hawley. Team Peoria hadn't beaten Team Tazwood at Mt. Hawley since its hot streak began in 2012, but it ended that streak last weekend.

"Barely," said Team Peoria captain Tim Walters. "I'm sure glad we had a cushion after Saturday."

Team Peoria led Team Tazwood 4-2 after Saturday's best ball competition. Each team scored six points Sunday in the 12 singles matches. There were two draws, and Team Peoria and Team Tazwood golfers each won five matches.

Now, on to the other achievement of the weekend. This was an individual achievement. Team Tazwood's Jim Mounce made a hole-in-one Saturday. It's believed to be only the third ace in the 32-year River Cup history, and the first one made in the senior competition in the 25 years it has been held. Jeff Ackerman and Chris Fort made aces in the past in the River Cup Men's competition. Mounce's perfect shot Saturday came on the ninth hole at Mt. Hawley, a 147-yard par-3. He used a 9-iron.

"The green on No. 9 is on a hill. I knew I hit my shot right at the pin, but I didn't see it go in," Mounce said. "Matt Fahel (the River Cup Foundation President) and some other guys were up on the hill and starting yelling. That's when I knew I'd made a hole-in-one."

This was Mounce's fourth hole-in-one, but first in a tournament. The 55-year-old El Paso resident has been playing golf since he was 14. All four of his aces have come in the last six years. The first one was at El Paso Golf Club. He had two holes-in-one within 13 days a year later at Pontiac Elks Country Club and a course in Atlanta, Ga. Aside from his hole-in-one, Mounce said he didn't play well Saturday. His team lost in a best ball match.

"I wasn't in great form Saturday. I played better Sunday, " he said, referring to his win in a singles match. This was the third time Mounce played in the River Cup. Off the golf course, Mounce is the owner of Mounce Automotive, which has locations in El Paso and Lexington. Walters said he was proud of his Team Peoria golfers for pulling out the victory, but he also had praise for Team Tazwood.

"(Team Tazwood's) Scott Belsly played very well in his first River Cup. So did Barry Neal," Walters said. "Team Tazwood is going to get stronger in the next few years when they get some guys who will be eligible to play in the seniors competition. We're going to need to get stronger, too."

Walters beat Team Tazwood's Eric Dicks in their individual match Sunday in a battle between the two team captains. 

Here are the results of the 2024 River Cup senior competition:

There are former professional golfers. Former and current collegiate golfers. Veteran golfers who have dominated the local golf scene for years. Two sets of fathers and sons. That's the 10,000-foot view of the Team Peoria and Team Tazwood teams that will duke it out this weekend in the Men's competition of the 32nd annual River Cup tournament at Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria.

Team Tazwood leads Team Peoria 19-12 in the all-time series. But Team Peoria has beaten Team Tazwood twice in the past three years, including 10-8 last year at Coyote Creek Golf Club in Bartonville. A deep dive into this weekend's tournament pairings reveals some fascinating matches put together by first-year Captains Britt Bothast of Team Peoria and Austin Craig of Team Tazwood. Bothast and Craig agreed the best ball match Saturday between Team Peoria's Brien Davis and Steven Taylor and Team Tazwood's Brian Draher and Jason Woll could set the tone for the tournament.

Those teams are arguably Team Peoria's and Team Tazwood's top best ball duos. Unless the match is a draw, either Team Peoria or Team Tazwood will gain a huge victory and the other team will absorb a tough loss. Davis/Taylor vs. Draher/Woll will tee off at 11:10 a.m., the second group to hit the course. "That's a crucial early match." Craig said.

Team Tazwood's two father/son combinations -- Tim and Ryan Saurs and Curt and Mason Minkel -- will team up in best ball matches. Curt Minkel will be playing in the River Cup for the 28th time. Mason Minkel will be playing for the fifth time. For Tim and Ryan Saurs, it will be appearance No. 21. The Saurs will face Team Peoria's Andrew Wuethrich and Jeremy Ott. The Minkels will take on Team Peoria's John Ehrgott and Quinn Cox. Tee-off times are 11:20 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., respectively. Tim Saurs is returning to the River Cup Men's competition after playing in the senior competition for a few years. It's a logical move.

"Tim has been playing a lot of golf since he retired a couple years ago, and he's really playing well," Craig said. "Plus, I know he likes playing Mt. Hawley and it's a short course, so it fits his game."

There are some big-time individual matches Sunday, too. If the championship comes down to the final two individual matches, each team will be confident about emerging victorious. Taylor will oppose Curt Minkel and Scott Phegley will face Mason Minkel. They'll tee off at 11:50 a.m.

"That's quite a powerhouse foursome," Craig said.

Earlier Sunday, each captain will have an important individual match. Craig will face Wuethrich at 11 a.m. in one of the kickoff individual matches and Bothast will take on Carter Stevenson at 11:10 a.m.

"Hopefully, I'll get the point (for winning the match) and spend the rest of the day cheering on my team," Craig said. "I'm sure Britt feels the same way about his match."

Indeed he does. Bothast said he's thrilled and honored to be a team captain.

"After watching the River Cup several times when I was a kid, I really wanted to play in it," he said. I never dreamed I'd be a team captain."

Three collegiate golfers who will be playing at Mt. Hawley this weekend recently played in national championships. Another collegiate golfer had a breakout freshman season. Mason Minkel helped West Florida reach the match play quarterfinals in the NCAA Division II tournament. West Florida lost to West Texas A&M, but Minkel shot 73 and won his match by one stroke. Team Peoria's DJ Norman and Cox were on the Illinois Central College team that placed ninth of 22 teams at the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II tournament. Stevenson was Bradley's top golfer as a freshman. He tied for eighth place In the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
