Championship Flight: Harry Lea of Danville; making his first
appearance on the tour used a 3 birdie performance to card a 2 over par 74 for
first place. Lea beat past Tour winners Richard Suggs and John Franklin by 2
strokes as they both tied with 76’s. Sugg’s who last won at Spring Creek used a
near Hole in One shot to also win a closest to the Pin prize. Terry Towler
finished 4th with a 79.

Championship guys by placing 6 of their 12 players in the under 80 bracket.

Salmon of Danville took a second place finish with a 76. These two were
followed very closely by Raymond Newman, J.A. Devin, Keith Myers, and Kevin
Kiser; all who recorded 78’s.
