IRON MOUNTAIN — Iron Mountain’s Jim Markell and Norway’s Dan Anderson took turns stringing birdies in winning another UP Best Ball golf championship Sunday at Pine Grove Country Club.

Markell tallied five birdies Saturday in the team’s four-under par 68 round. Anderson had six birdies Sunday in another round of 68.

“We just play good golf together,” said Markell, who has 15 UP Best Ball titles with Anderson.

Anderson-Markell, who last won the UP Best Ball in 2015, posted a 136 to finish four strokes better than runner-up Tom LaVigne and Mike Solda at 140 (70-70). LaVigne and Chad Tirschel, who was unable to play this weekend, captured the 2018 UP Best Ball title.
