TMPL Event 13 Recap

Pam Byron and Patty Bowling slipped back into first place in the regular season standings with a 10 to 4 win in their match with Jack Butcher and Rex Hudson.  Las week's leaders, John Chapman and Dick Barber could only manage a tie with their opponents, Jack Lents and Mike Bird, each team scoring 7 points in their match.  That leaves them a scant half point behind Pam and Patty in the standings.  The teams of Joe Gray and Bob Elliott and Vic Wallace and Phil Roberts are tied for third at 97 points after 10.5 to 3.5 wins in their matches with Tony Wease and Charlie Sheetz and Junior and Kevin Byron (subbing for Wayne Pearl) respectively.  A change also took place at the top of the individual standings with Dick Lemmon, after a even par net 35 and 34 points on the day, taking over first place with 454 points.  The surging Joe Gray, with the low net score of the day at 28, earned 60 points and finds himself in second place at 448 points.  Another surging player, Al Kavanaugh, had the low gross of the day, an even par 35, and collected 53 points for his efforts.  He is in third place at 445 points.  Low net team score was turned in by Terry LaMar and Virgil Harper with a 63.  Susan Fee and Phil Roberts collected the hole prizes at the par threes with close to the pin shots while Ken Hudson sank the longest putt of the day at hole #8 for that hole prize. 

After two weeks in the league's four week July Match Tournament, Dane Mosby and Ed Summers kept the top position and lead Mike Anderson and Al Kavanaugh by 1.5 points with a total of 13 points.  Vic Wallace and Phil Roberts along with Terry LaMar and Virgil Harper are two points back and tied for third.
