Campbell Wins (Again) in Sudden Death; Fletcher’s Hat-trick Sub-Par Wins

            Brooksville, FL – It was the second sudden death playoff in a row for Terry Campbell and Mike Malloch as they went head-to-head for the win at Southern Woods Golf Club after matching 89’s in the “C Flight” at the Senior Amateur Golf Tour of North Central Florida tournament Tuesday (May 31).   After one hole, Campbell emerged with his fourth victory in Tour play.

            Ed Fletcher won for the third time in a row with a 2-under 70 to take the “Championship Flight.”

            The warm and breezy playing conditions welcomed the players in this make-up tournament that was rained-, thundered- and lighteninged out earlier in the season. Though it was hot, players agreed it was better than worrying about lightening bolts.

            In the “A Flight,” Tom Grant won with a 77, which included three birdies.  Larry Barousse placed second with a 79 and new Tour member and first-time tournament competitor Quay Burket placed third with an 83.

            In the “B Flight,” Jerry Smith won with an 80, and Dave Raybin placed second with an 86.
