    A rainy morning gave way to sunny skies and low, low scores at Pendleton Golf Club.  Birdies and Eagles were flying with great playing conditions.  In Division 1, first timer and playing as guest, Kurtis Lucas blistered his first trip around Pendleton with 6 Birdies, an Eagle, sandwiched between a Double and a Quad.  His victory converted him to become a fulltime member with APT. 

    CJ Szuba finished birdie-birdie to snatch a one stroke victory over Joe Bautista.  CJ had 4 birdies on the day and Joe had 3. 

    Thomas Porter shot an all-time career low of 74.  After shooting 41 on the front 9, Thomas had an Eagle and 2 Birdies on the back 9 to shoot a 3-under 33 and win Division 3 by 3 Shots.  Ian Thomas finished 2nd and AC Rendon third. 

    David Ponder squeaked out a one shot victory (87) over Buddy Herndon in Division 4. 

    Jimmie Williams captured a one shot victory (89) over Tommy Jackson. 

    AC Rendon captured the Mid Am Net Championship with a Net 67 to win by 3 over CJ Szuba.   Backed by his career low, Thomas Porter shot a Net 60 (-12) to win by 7 shots over Ian Thomas (Net 67).  Shane Studer took 3rd (Net 69) and Jim Pritchett finished in the money with a  Net 70.
