Mullholand clains Senior title, Newman is top Super Senior

Kaven Noctor captured his third Highland View Men’s City Championship Sunday at the Highland View Golf Course.

The 2020 Butte High graduate fired a 69 on Saturday and again Sunday for a 2-under-par 138 total. That topped Dan Mulholland by one shot.

Mulholland opened with a 68 to take the first-round lead. He closed with a 71.

Soon-to-be Butte High senior Chase Choquette placed third at 142. He followed a 70 with a 72 on the par-70 course. Choquette placed third at the Montana State Men’s Amateur Championship at the Missoula Country Club last month.

Robert Cline, who opened with a 69, placed third at 144 after a final-round 75.

Noctor, who holds the Highland View course record with a 62 shot in 2022, also won the City title in 2021 and 2022.

Mulholland captured the City title in the Senior Division, while Brad Newman won the Super Senior Division. Newman shot a 73 and a 74 for a 147 to win the fourth flight.

In all, 66 players competed in the tournament.
