MilIers Use Teamwork
DR.. Gary Reilly made the
birdie of the day after Murphy
had sent their match into extra
holes by sinking an S-footer for
a par on the 18th. DR.. Reilly
heeled his drive on the 18th
into the woods, but the ball hit
a tree and bounded on the edge
of the rough. He still had a
wood shot left, and it clipped a
tree but settled 6-feet from the
cup. He made the putt for
birdie three. His partner won
the next hole, as extra-hole
matches must be decided in
series of three-hole playof1s.
The Miller brothers, Bob OF
the host club and Jack. from
Ashland, Ohio, had too much
teamwork for Day and Brow
nell Brownell's par golf held
them for IL holes, but Bobby
lapsed on Is and IA and the
Millers won both with pars,
and Bob Miller won is with a
birdie and a stroke for a net
eagle.
Senseman, a 13-handicap
player, made the decisive shot
of the match against Braden
and Dudley. Senseman played
a low chip shot under a tree
and over a trap on the 18th
to within 10 feet Of the cup
He dropped the putt for a par
three. That protected his
teams 1-up margin, and Will
lett ended the match on ID.
De Maio and Fig, who had
eight and four han d leap
strokes, respectively, against
Randolph, used their strokes
and teamwork to win. Dillon.
a l3-handicap player. helped
Randolph with two wierdly
played holes. Twice Dillon was
in front of a par-four hole in
two, sanked his approach into
a trap, blasted out of the trap
and dropped the putt for net
pars. He had a handicap stroke
on each.
