Arima carded a 36-hole total of 76-67 for one-under-par 143. His final round 67 was five-under-par, the tournament's best round.

One tournament highlight was a rare hole-in-one accomplished Sunday by local golfer Dick Shelton on the #15 hole at Sun Valley.

The Wood River Valley crowned two divisional champions during the two-day tournament for 104 golfers.

Georgia Rand Hutchinson (73-74 for 3-over-par 147) won the 21-golfer Women's Club Champions flight by seven strokes over Kareen Markle of Eagle (76-78 for 154).

And Bigwood Golf Course champion Matt Meador (71-74 for 145) took the Champions division by two strokes over Marc Rhoades of McCall (75-72 for 147).
