Stan Graber and Joe Allen made three birdies and two bogeys during regulation and then a straight forward par on the first extra hole to win the Saturday scramble at Lakeview.  Wayne Souerdike and Paul Hart, after starting their round with a bogey, made six pars and a couple of birds to tie Graber and Allen with a score of 34.  They then repeated themselves on the first hole by driving the ball right and having to lay up before going at the pin, and ending up with a disappointing bogey.  Two other teams of two participated in the scramble with Junior and Kevin Byron along with Mike Bird and Denny Wagoner each finishing with even par rounds of 35, one shy of the playoff.

 Of note:  The winners used the short stick effectively as Graber sank putts from off the green at holes three and four for birdies and Allen followed suit by running in a twelve footer at #8 for what turned out to be the shot that got them into the playoff.
