Mark Civanich [Valparaiso, Ind. / Valparaiso] of the Trine University men's golf team won the Lake Porter Am for the first time, firing 71-69 (-4) over the two-day event.
Mark was named a 2021-22 Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar for NCAA Division III, as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). Civanich is one of 140 NCAA DIII men's golfers to earn All-America Scholar status. His season was highlighted by an appearance on the First Team All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and was an individual medalist on day two of the MIAA Championships with a 3-under 69. He was the lowest-scoring member of the Thunder team in six events in the 2021-22 season
We congratulate Mark and wish him great success with his academic pursuits at Trine and his golf.

Welcome to the 2022 Lake Porter Am: Orange Flags and Orange Ribbons
Welcome to the 2022 Lake Porter Am: Orange Flags and Orange Ribbons
Dear Lake Porter Am Competitors:
I would like to welcome you to the 91st edition of the Lake Porter Amateur.
For those who are new to tournament golf, we will be playing the ball down, everywhere, and the one-ball rule will NOT be in effect. That will allow you to play whatever ball you have in your bag, even if it is not the same brand. Here is a quick review of USGA tournament rules, to be helpful to you.
https://rules.usga.org/product/rules-101/
This year's tournament flags will be orange, and I will share an orange ribbon to pin to your cap or shirt or golf bag or significant other--just so we stay mindful about our golfing buddies, their families and friends, and those who need us to boost their spirits and be a community force for good.
So many golfers this year have mentioned how much they miss Bill Springer Sr. The Lake Porter is still here, Bill, and so are our fondest memories of you.
Challenge accepted. Play well!
