Pella’s Cameron Arkema is finding success this summer playing against some of the best golf amateurs in the state.
Arkema teamed up with Parker Davidson of Pleasant Hill to take third place in the Joe August four ball match play tournament this past weekend at Ames Country Club.
The weekend before, he took 15th place in a field of greater than 160 golfers at the Iowa Masters at Veenker Memorial Golf Course, also in Ames. At that event, he was in contention after shooting 3-over-par for the first two rounds, but shot 79 in the second-to-last-group on Sunday.
Up next for Arkema is the Iowa Amateur, which will be held next Monday through Wednesday at the Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City.
