Brookfield native Harrison Ott knocked off Thomas Longbella in a playoff to win the 117th Wisconsin State Amateur at Minocqua Country Club on Thursday.

The playoff took eight holes, with Ott ending the playoff, making a four-foot birdie putt to win it.

The 20-year-old Longbella, who plays his collegiate golf at Minnesota, had a one-stroke lead entering the final hole of regulation, but bogeyed that hole.  The 19-year-old Ott, who plays collegiately at Vanderbilt, parred the final hole to finish tied with Longbella at 9-under-par 279.

The eight extra holes set a record for the State Amateur.  A two hole playoff was the previous record back in 2008.

University of Wisconsin assistant golf coach Robbie Ziegler retained the third-round lead at the 113th Wisconsin State Amateur golf championship, despite struggling in the windy conditions on Wednesday at the Ozaukee Country Club.

Ziegler shot a 7-over-par 77 and thought he’d lose his lead.  But when the day ended, Ziegler still had a three-shot lead.

The 24-year old Ziegler was 4-over after 54 holes and will try to become a wire-to-wire winner today.

Tyler Schmude of Horicon and Mitchell Johnson of Middleton shot 74’s and are tied for second, 3-shots back.  Cousins Alex and Zach Gaugert are tied for fourth, 4-shots off the lead.

University of Wisconsin assistant men’s golf coach Robbie Ziegler fired a 4-under par 66 and holds the lead after the opening round of the 113th State Amateur Championship at Ozaukee Country Club on Monday.

Ziegler is one of just three players to break par.  16-year old Christopher Colla is two shots back after an opening round 68.  Colla is from Winnebago Lutheran High School and is the reigning WIAA Division 2 state champion.

Marquette University’s Brandon Cloete from South Africa, shot a 69.

Ziegler made six birdies and two bogeyed just twice in his opening round.    He had a standout collegiate career at Oregon where he played in the NCAA Division I Championship three times.
