With a final round score of one under par, Pam Byron claimed the trophy in the 36 hole Individual Handicapped Tournament. Richard Lemmon, who started the day one behind Byron, shot a net 38 to finish four strokes back but still good enough for second place. Joe Gray, Virgil Harper and Wayne Pearl all finished at minus 11 to tie for third place. In regular season action, the team of John Chapman and Gary Lamar (subbing for Dick Barber) won their match against Terry LaMar and Virgil Harper by a score of 10 to 4 and vaulted into first place in the team standings. Their season total of 85.5 points puts them 1.5 points ahead of last week's frontrunners, Pam Byron and Patty Bowling. Pam and Patty lost their match with Dane Mosby and Mike Strawn, 10.5 to 3.5. Patty Bowling did hold onto the top position in the individual competition even though she shot a disappointing 52 and garnered only two points for her efforts. She leads Dick Lemmon by 6 points and Jack Butcher by 10. Jack Lents and Mike McLaughlin are tied for 4th with 349 points. Al Kavanaugh jumped six spots in the standings, from 12th to 6th, with a low gross round of 33 which included two birds and seven pars. His net 30 on the day also tied him for low net honors with Ken Hudson and Tony Wease. John Chapman and Gary LaMar's 63 captured the low net team honors. Hole prizes were claimed by Vic Wallace with a shot to within a foot of the pin at #7, and by Frank Fee with a long putt at #8 and Mike Anderson with a close to the pin shot at #9. Gross average for the group was 44.78, down more than a stroke from last week's 46.13.
Of note: Junior Byron had the only eagle of the day, a 2 at the second hole. Mike Bird, Mike McLaughlin, Ken Hudson and Al Kavanaugh all had two birds in their rounds.
