Scott R Chilcutt, Shawnee, OK (October 27, 2013) It was a Chamber of Commerce day for the Oklahoma Tour Opener at Shawnee Country Club on Sunday. Light to no winds, beautiful skies and weather we all hope for during a round of golf.
Questionable course conditions took Shawnee Country Club off the tour schedule after the Shawnee Classic in June of 2011. During a recent visit we were pleasantly surprised that the staff had been working on the traps and the greens were in excellent condition, so back on the schedule it went.
Art Wiles of Oklahoma City, picked up his first Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving.
RESULTS:
Championship Flight: James Fowler of Checotah, OK started the day with a birdie on the par 4 - 2nd, then added one making the turn at the par 4 - 10th for his first win of the year and fourth since March of 2013.

Palmer Flight: Oklahoma City player Jimmy Westfall, with a lot of rounds on the course, went out in +2 -37, struggled on the back, but held on to a two stroke victory over Dave Kirby of Edmond, OK for his eleventh win on tour. Kirby stayed away from the big numbers, parring his last two holes to solidify the runner up spot with a hard charging Tulsa, OK resident Roland Lewis rounding out the top three.
Hogan Flight: Art Wiles of Oklahoma City, OK finished the final six holes in one under par, but wasn't able to overcome a one shot deficit on the front to Edmond, OK member Tim Mathis. Mathis picked up his ninth win on tour with Wiles in the runner up spot, for his fourth runner up finish on tour. Tams Howard of Sapulpa, OK, playing as a guest finished three strokes back of Wiles with Joe Deere of Catoosa, OK picking up the third place points.

Watson birdied the par 5 - 13th and finished the back nine in +2 for his first win on tour.
