Grant was far down the fairway.
1t looked like It was all over, but
Petroske won the hole with Ave

This gave Petroske new hope, and
on the par 4 seventeenth he banged
his second shot two feet from the
pin and got his putt down for
birdie three while Grant played Il
In even figures. The match was
all square, and then Petroske, In
hurry to get back to Meriden and
his Job, proceeded to clinch the
victory.
However, on the eighteenth II

Petrosko's play that ended the
match there. Petroske merely shot
