Once again, the weather was perfect for our first sanctioned tournament of the year. The highs reached the upper 70s with only a few clouds in the sky and a light breeze during the second round. The conditions were ideal for great scoring.
The course proved just as tough on day two as it did on day one, but Alan Ellis of Greenwood managed to hang on and win the first event of the year. After carding a 69 in the first round, Ellis shot a one-over par 37 on the front nine, but bounced back with an amazing 32 on the back nine for a solid 69 and two day total of six under par 138. In second place was Lane Pippin of Ocean Springs who also fired a 69 in the final round. He shot two under par 142. Lee Gladden rounded out the top three with two rounds of even par.
Winner of the Senior Division was a familiar name, Ricky Sims of Canton who posted a 72 on Sunday for two day total of three under par 141. Four shots back was Charlie Keeton of Brandon at 145. Rounding out the top three was Ray Sears of Jackson at 146.
