Forty players from Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas, set their sights on taking the early lead into the coming calendar years respective POY races.
Division 1 had two-time and defending Player of the Year Champion, Andy Proctor as the early odds-on-favorite to take top honors, however, a rejuvenated Josh Linn, (aka, Big Sexxy) fresh off a two-week vacation out west, cruised into Alma and stole the show with an all-around solid day of golf, posting two-over 73 to take home the win. Newcomer Tate Dunlap, a sixteen-year-old high school student, played solid golf in his first APT Tulsa event to take second while Proctor wound up a disappointing third.
Division 2 was one for the Seniors as Owasso, Oklahoma’s Chris Matheny outlasted Michael Foster of Catoosa and Kendall Price of Hackett, Arkansas to win a thrilling three-hole finish for his third career APT victory. Foster held a one stroke lead before making bogey on 16 for a three-way tie at the top. Price made bogey on 17 to fall one back of Foster and Matheny. Matheny then finished off his round with his seventh consecutive par as Foster finished with bogey to finish tied with Price for second.
