Bartlett, TN - On a beautiful day for golf, the Memphis Golfweek Tour played the very nice Quail Ridge Golf Course in Bartlett, TN, and then had some great food provided by Longhorn Steakhouse. The tour and all the players would like to thank Tim and his staff for some excellent food, and we highly recommend Longhorn Steakhouse! We would also like to thank Dicks Sporting Goods for their help sponsoring the tournament. Last but not least, Brian Alexander and the entire staff at Quail Ridge did a great job for our tournament, and have the course in wonderful shape. Thanks for everything Brian!
Champ flight points leader Ed McDugle won his 6th tournament of the season and clinched the Champ Flight points title. Ed shot 72 at Quail Ridge, just beating out guest Vaughn Crawfords 74. Chris Schlette rounded out the top three. Congratulations to you Ed! I think Ed McDugle has all those "scratch" golfers in the Memphis/N.MS area scared to come out on the tour and challenge him??!! HHmmmm................we will see next season.
A' Flight points leader Jordan Jones finally got back into the winners bracket with a score of 78. Rick Kidder shot 81 for second and Todd Bradford shot 83 for 3rd. Jordan clinched the season title, as Todd cannot make the final tournament of the season. Congrats Jordan!
Points co-leader Jeff Donovan shot an 85 and won his 4th tournament in a row!! Hot, hot, hot...............and I don't mean the weather! John Pigg took second with an 86, and former points co-leader Greg Cryder took third with a 92. The season points title is a very close (3 players can win title), and will come down to the final tournament at Deerfield G.C. in Canton, MS on September 10th & 11th!!
Parker Harris took home the trophy in C' flight with a very nice 84. Dennis Sensing beat Fred Bryant on a scorecard playoff for second place. Both players shot 90. With 4 players still in the hunt, this season points title will also come down to the last tournament at Deerfield.
Nathan Powell shot 93 and won his second tournament in a row. Tour vet John Conlee took second with a 95. Way to go John! Dean Applegate beat George Houser on scorecard playoff for 3rd place. This flight will also be decided at Deerfield in a two player shootout between Don Harris and Lee Harris.
