Scott R Chilcutt, Edmond, OK (May 25, 2013) Due to a scheduling conflict, Sara and myself made the 1,000 mile round trip trek to the Hill Country for torrential rains and a flood out at the Memorial Championship, while Oklahoma Tour players finally made it off the cart paths in over two months.
But dry it was not!
Battle Creek Golf Club, owned by the city of Broken Arrow, had over an inch of rain as the left over storms from earlier central Oklahoma tornadoes moved there way towards the northeast. Sloppy conditions, howling winds and residential lined fairways forced solid ball striking and control to good rolling greens.
Gary Chrisman from Yukon, OK sporting a new set of clubs, edged out Blanchard, OK member Jerime Parker by two strokes for the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by
Carlisle's Engraving.
RESULTS:
Championship Flight: Just off a third place finish against a strong field at the
Bobcat Open @ Texas Star, Checotah, OK member
James Fowler went two under on two birdies for his second win on the season.
Douglas Duke of Ft Smith, AR, carded a couple of birdies of his own to get the runner up spot, with Tulsa, OK resident
Bill Robinson three strokes back in third.
Palmer Flight: Roland Lewis of Tulsa prefers playing in warm weather and looks to be coming into form. While Lewis made a mess of the par 5 - 9th, he played solid enough to collect his 15th win on tour and second of the points season. One stroke back,
Rick Herbst of Okarche, OK collected two birdies on the back nine to stay five clear of Edmond, OK member
John Montazzoli rounding out the top three.
Hogan Flight: Blanchard, OK player
Jerime Parker played the back nine in even par to grab his sixth win on tour and first since his promotion to the Hogan Flight. Since coming on the tour as a Snead Flight player in 2011 Parker has now picked up a win in four different flights.
Derek Goodson of Ft Smith, AR recorded four birdies on the day to finish two strokes ahead of Broken Arrow local
Allen Sawvel finishing in the third spot.
Senior Hogan Flight: Kansas City Tour member
Bob Hunter of Lee's Summit, MO recorded his first sub eighty round for his first win on tour. Hunter, matched birdies on the par 4 - 12th with
Todd Chapman of Tulsa to remain tied for the lead. Chapman would double the 16th to go one stroke back.
Mike Johnson of Tahlequah, OK shared the lead going to the 18th, but a double on his last hole relegated him to a T-2 with Chapman.
Sarazen Flight: Going out in +3,
Gary Schuessler of Wichita, KS seemed to have things locked up, but ran out of gas coming to the club house to open the door for Augusta, KS traveling partner,
Ernest DeBruler. DeBruler, birdied the par 4 - 12th en route to his fourth win on tour and second of the year. Schuessler shared the second place honors with
Stan Wilson of Jones, OK.
Jones Flight: Winning his first event on the points season, Yukon, OK member
Gary Chrisman took ten events to snare his second of the year and sixth on tour. Two strokes back
