Day 1

Bruton/Crowe grabbed the first round lead with a blistering alternate shot 63 at Tianma.  Mark McGrail fired the Crab's first ever ace as McGrail/Airdrie shot 66 to grab third one shot behind Keane/Dodds on 65.  Alternate shot carnage was light this day with only Hagman/Blackwood shooting 78 to lose touch with a tightly bunched pack.

Martin Haschka took the Clam day with 45 points followed by Felipe Ordonez on 42.  Veteran Mike Plaspohl took 3rd.  China Jim set a Clam record low with 12 points.

After dining at Tianma, the field retired to an evening of light recreation at Lake Malaren.

The day ended with 10 teams within 4 shots of the lead setting up a Sunday shootout.

Martin Hashka led the Clams for the 2nd consecutive day with 47 points followed by Steve Parker on 44 and Phil Davis with 38.

 

 

 

Day 3

A more positive wire to wire went to Martin Hashka who won the Clams for the third straight day and breezed to the Clam overall title.  Phil Davis and Thomas Gramm rounded out the Clam overall podium.

The field toasted the winners in the Links tent and well into the evening at the Long Bar.
