Today Gary won the North Suncoast Junior Golf Association Tournament of Champions at the Nationally famous World Woods course near Brooksville, Florida. He shot a 71 yesterday and said he "could have or perhaps should have birdied all of the first seven holes." He lead the T of C by 4 shots. Today he played 2 under par until lightning stopped play after eight holes. The tournament then had to be canceled for weather and he was declared the winner at overall three under par. Today's highlights included one birdie and one bogey and one eagle on a 511 yard par 5 (driver, seven wood, long putt). The putter really kept him in the hunt as he two-putted from monstrous lengths all day.The final results are at the following site:
