ROYAL CITY – Pete Christensen shot his lowest round of the year during the fifth week of the season to vault back to the top of the Royal Golf Association’s Thursday Night Men’s League.

“Everything was working, finally,” he said.

Christensen had a double bogey in his round of 37 but offset that with birdies on the par-5 No. 1 and Par-4 No. 8.

Christensen is the first member of the League to own first place in two different weeks. His 37 trailed only a 35 by Patrick Dorsing in gross scoring and it produced a net score of 28. He had shot in the mid-40s gross the first four weeks.

The League again proved to be tight after five weeks. Christensen led the player point standings with 30.50. Kyle Scroggins was one point back, and the top 6 were at 27.00 or better.

Andrew Perkins did not play this week.
