Souerdike, Wininger and Ader Tie With Ninth Hole Birdie, Win With Tiebreaker

Brian Ader's tee shot at the ninth hole got the ball on the green and Wayne Souerdike's putt for birdie got the team to four under and into a tie with Mark Potts and Joe Doyle in the Saturday Morning Scramble at Lakeview.  The tiebreaker went in favor of the Souerdike team, making a final hole bogey by Potts and Doyle especially bitter tasting.  Potts and Doyle had cruised through the first eight holes with birds at holes 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 before stumbling over a four foot downhill sliding putt at their last hole, #1.  Souerdike, Wininger and Ader, on the other hand, were most efficient on their round, carding six pars, birdies at holes 2 and 9, and an eagle at #6.  Lee Wininger's fairway shot at #6 went through the trees guarding the green, just missed the stick and came to rest just off the green about twenty feet away.  Wayne rolled it in from there for the eagle.  Three other teams participated with Tracy Rayhill and Greg Potts along with Dave Wininger and Kevin Byron coming in one stroke shy of the tiebreaker with scores of 32.  Mike Bird and Joe Allen struggled throughout their round and finished with an even par round of 35.

P.S. Tracy Rayhill and Greg Potts also bogeyed their last hole, falling out of a tie for first place.
