  MCGREGOR, Minn. – Topher Baron’s 7-over par 79 Wednesday at Minnesota National Golf Club was good enough to earn Baron medalist honors as well as a place in the 2015 Minnesota Golf Association Mid-Players’ Championship.

A field of five players competed for just one qualifying spot for this year’s championship, which will be played co-currently with the MGA Senior Players’ Championship June 15-17 at Wayzata Country Club in Wayzata, Minn.

Baron, Bunker Hills Golf Club, carded a 40 on the front nine before shooting 39 on the back, claiming the lone qualifying spot by three shots.

Dan Arcand, Chisago Lakes Golf Club, and Eric Kolkind, Wild Marsh Golf Club, finished as first and second alternates, respectively.
