Newcomer to the tour shoots 3 under to win on Saturday. Roger O’Connell made his first appearance on tour and let everyone know in Champ Flight he is a viable competitor. Roger shot even par on his opening nine but got it rolling on the back side firing a 3 under par 33 for his first victory with 69. Also shooting under par was Michael Bailey with a fine one under par 71. Robert Surratt used his home course knowledge to finish in third with 76. Jim Aughtry beat out Dennis McCormac & Randy Peck on the card with 77.
A Flight: 6374 yards
Bryan Usinger had his putter rolling on Saturday as he had seven birdies on the day. The final result was an impressive one under par round of 71 to capture his first win of the season. The under par score also was an automatic promotion to the Champ Flight which Bryan said he looks forward to as his game has improved greatly. Steve Espin finished in second place with help from his Super Skin eagle on the par five 8th hole. Espin also put together three other birdies on the day and finished at 72.
