Photo: Ward Smith, Mike Arvin, Noah Callahan and Tyler Walton are all smiles after a hugh comeback earns them a scramble win.Faced with a plus five after two holes on the scorecard, Ward Smith took matters into his own hands during the modified Lakeview scramble this Saturday morning. Ward, Tyler Walton, Noah Callahan and Mike Arvin started with a par on hole #2 then went way south with a bogey-double bogey-double bogey on hole #3. Not to worry after Tyler's drive on #4 put them within 170 yards of the hole: Ward knocked his approach to six foot and then made the putt for a desperately needed eagle. The still-down-by-three foursome then found birdies on each of the next four holes to get to one under. That included a birdie by Noah Callahan on #7 and a ten foot putt for birdie on #8 by Mike Arvin. Pars on the final two holes brought them to the clubhouse with a winning score. The team of Mike Bird, Greg Potts and Gary Arvin went into their last hole at one under but then shot themselves out of contention with a plus two on #9. Wayne Souerdike, Karry Stoll, Joe Allen and Kevin Byron also entered the last hole in minus figures but finished with a plus four on the hole to end at plus two for the day. Call it an amazing comeback and a couple of short hole meltdowns.
