Championship Flight: Jody Clary got his first win of the season by playing consistent all day firing a one under par 71. Clary was the only Champ flight player to break par on Saturday. Finishing 3 shots back were Dave Schmidt and Todd McPherson at 74. Schmidt nipped out McPherson on the card for second place money. Schmidt almost did not finish as a skunk walked across the 6th green before he got ready to putt. Fortunately “Pepe LePew” decided to mosey on down the fairway and not take a shot at Dave. Dave had a 20 foot birdie putt he was sizing up and made after the skunk left. He must have got a good read from “Pepe”. Fourth place went to Joe Jaspers beating out Steve French on the card. Both players shot 76’s. A Flight: At the end of the round only two players broke 80 and it was Don Bridges and Chad Ballard tied with 79’s. As always ties for first are decided by sudden-death so back to the 635 yard par 18th hole they went. Both players were in good shape after 2 shots with Bridges knocking it on the green and Ballard shot coming up just short of the green. Ballard’s chip came up short resulting in a bogie and bridges did what he had to do to win by 2 putting for par. The win was Bridges first of the season and took 19 holes to lock down. A host of players lock up at 81, with Scott Ide getting third place money and David Ridenhour fourth. Stephen Bell also fired 81 but ended up 5th on the card playoff. B Flight: Dean Hearn won for the first time ever in B flight and posted his best competitive round on tour. Hearn fired a brilliant 77 to Edge out Richard Ellams by one shot. Ellams shot 78 and finished with second place money and saw his tour handicap drop to 8.1 thus moving up to A Flight. Doug Watson grabbed third with 81 and Chris Jenkins beat out newcomer Chris Boner on the card for 4th. Both Jenkins and Bohner shot 82’s. C Flight: Bill Holland won convincingly on Saturday posting an 83 at Cabarrus CC. The four shot victory was due to great putting by Holland on Saturday. With the victory and scores posted Holland will now go to the B flight for the rest of the season. Congrats Bill on your very improved play. Patrick Willams and Scott Grigg both fired 87’s but it was Williams grabbing second place on the card. Rounding out the top 4 places was Jeff Gastineau at 89. Just a reminder that the first ever 54 hole Tour Championship is just around the corner.
