Tony Bostic used two birdies and six pars for a card of 80, the top spot in the Championship Flight. Michael Flis took second (85) while Aaron Grocholski placed third (89). Grocholski made three birdies on the round. 

Play was tight between Zach O’Dell and Adam Miller in the A Flight. The two were knotted up at 40 heading into the back. They swapped leads three times in the final nine holes – O’Dell’s birdie on the 17th and a bogey on the 18th sealed the deal, 80-81. Mike Garland and Dave Baca finished in a two-way tie for third (86). Mike Rutkowski and Keith Gilbert were also tied up after 18 holes (87). 

Kevin Baikauskas earned the win in the B Flight with a score of 83. Skip Bankston, of the Tampa tour, edged out JA Arnold by one stroke, 88-89, while Steve Ogletree and Doug Bird, of the Philadelphia Metro tour, finished in a two-way tie for fourth (90). 

Bill Noel carded an 88 in the C Flight, good for the top spot. Scores were kept close throughout the leaderboard as three separate groups of three players finished tied for their respective spots: Tied for second (93) – Thompson Sawyer, Rick Slaten and Jim Jobson; Tied for fifth (94) – Robert Washington, Carl Klapaska and Garry Branch; Tied for eighth (96) – Nick Klapaska, Paul Pugh and Milton Tyrrell.

Shawn Doyle came away with the win in the D Flight (91). Mac McLaughlin finished second with a 93 while Adil Baloch rounded out the top-3 with a card of 94.
