ESTEVAN — Nolan Rohatyn made history with his victory in the Dave Price Memorial Horse Race Sunday afternoon at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course.
Rohatyn defeated Jace Carlisle on the final hole to win the annual event for the sixth time, tying the late Parnell Pidhorny for the most victories in the horse race. Hundreds of people gathered to watch the competition, which is a beloved component of the annual FrameTech Classic at Woodlawn.
The horse race began Sunday afternoon and continued well into the evening. Each year, it features the 12 golfers who are part of the men's championship flight in Woodlawn's FrameTech Classic.
Joining Rohatyn and Carlisle were Drew Kocur, Ryan Stovin, David Buttner, Shawn Menall, Dallas Lequyer, Dustin Fair, Chase Gedak, Mark Spencer, Tyler Mryglod and Mitchell Matichuk.
The two golfers with the highest scores on each of the first two holes were eliminated, leaving eight golfers. Then the player with the highest score on each of the next seven holes was also knocked out, leaving only remaining.
It's the largest spectator event at Woodlawn each year.
The Horse Race is held annually in memory of Price, who died in 2015. He was an avid golfer and a big supporter of the horse race and the classic.
The FrameTech Classic is running from Aug. 2-4 at Woodlawn. Champions in the men's, women's and senior men's divisions will be crowned.
The Mercury and SaskToday will have comprehensive coverage of the tournament once it is completed.
