RESULTS:
Championship Flight: Rik Wall of Plano, TX set out on his first of a two day, two tour weekend and started fast. Wall, a late membership entry on tour is trying to work himself into National Championship eligibility and qualification. Birdies on the par 4 - 1st and par 4 - 9th, set him up for two more on the back nine to finish at -2 with an 8 stroke victory, his first on tour. Friendly rivals, Checotah, OK player James Fowler, off the tour most of the year with lingering back problems and Curt Howard of Sapulpa, OK went to the final hole, all square. And that's where they ended up, but not after 15'+ putts by both for bogie ended the day the way they started, even.
Palmer Flight: Edmond, OK member, Brandon McCool carded an eagle on the par 5 - 8th, added four birdies on the day and finished at even par 71 for his second win on tour. Six strokes back, Jimmy Westfall a former member of the Shawnee Country Club, when it was simply nine holes, stayed mostly out of trouble, added a birdie at the par 4 -11th to pick up the runner up finish. Burleson, TX traveler, Duane Dunton birdied his seventeenth hole of the day to knot up the third place honors with Ronnie Draper of Oklahoma City, OK.
