Bird, Potts and Allen Win Scramble with Par Three Mastery

Mike Bird, Greg Potts and Joe Allen shot minus 2 on the three par threes and minus three on the other six holes to come in with a score of five under. That was more than enough to take the Saturday Scramble trophy. Dave Wininger, Kevin Byron and TJ Howell had a plus one on the par threes and a minus four elsewhere to finish with a three under. Doug Denson, Karry Stoll, Gary Webb and Ward Smith had three over on the par threes to go with four birdies and came in at one under. Junior Byron, Larry Hembree and Curt Johnson, the team with the best score on the scramble holes, a five under, also managed to do the worst on the par threes with nary a par, going plus six to finish at plus one. The winning team's mastery of the par threes started at number three when Greg Potts and Mike Bird each got up and down; they each then birdied the short seventh hole. Joe Allen joined the party on the par threes by getting an up and down on the ninth, a feat matched by Greg.
