Tunica, MS – Cold, wet, and windy conditions were the main attraction at the Longhorn Steakhouse Classic tournament at The Tunica National Golf & Tennis Club on Saturday. The course was wet, 42 degree windchill, and some rain with ice mixed in made scoring higher overall for all flights. We would like to thank all the players that came out to battle the weather conditions, the course, and the other players. We would also like to thank the entire Tunica National staff for doing a great job under the conditions.

Champ - Defending tournament and flight champion Ed McDugle started off the season with a 1 under par 71 to win Champ flight. Returning veteran Phillip Roberts carded a 73 for second, and rookie Mike Mayhew grabbed 3rd with a 75.
 

A' Flight - First year player Rick Hamilton shoots an 81 to take first place by one stroke over returning player Juan Castillo and tour rookie Derek Joslin. Derek beat Juan on a scorecard playoff for second place.

B' Flight - After a one year layoff from the tour, Rich Green returns to win his first tournament with an 84. Congrats Rich, and glad to have you back! Veteran Larry Denbrock takes second with an 86 and new player Justin Parsons gets third with an 88.

C' Flight - Paden McCullough cards and 85 to take the trophy. Tour vet Parker Harris gets second with an 86, and new guy John Mazzola gets third with an 87. Great scores for all!
